Willowick Golf Course

Desperate to find open tee times, we played Willowick for the second and last time. It needs a lot of maintenance; lots of weeds in the fairways, greens fine, and plain lay-out, it's a muni that gets no love.

I’m trying to think of something nice to say about this course, but I can’t find anything. OK, the proshop worker was really nice. Aside from him, the course is by far the worst I’ve played in LA/OC…maybe ever. The fairways are in horrendous shape! Grass is green but driving through the fairway is like driving off road and trying to find your ball is a real challenge. We found 12+ balls, so I’m not alone in losing balls here…in the fairway. Greens were OK, but like any poorly maintained course, players tend not to care for greens when the course is as rough as Willowick is. I was hopeful it would play better than it looked, but I was disappointed on every hole. Won’t be going back.

Good:

- I played by myself on a Friday morning and finished my round in 2.5 hours.

- Price was really good for 18 with a cart

- Greens were in really good shape

Not as Good:

- Fairways were in rough shape

- Ran into maintenance crews on every hole 10-18

Definitely a good course for an average golfer to have a great time!

Staff very helpful and friendly

Keeping up the great work gentlemen.

staff are always friendly everytime i come here— but the course really is a desperate persons course.

Its relatively cheap, tee times available even last minute, i think theyll squeeze you in if you dont have a tee time.

Again, great staff.

Course? Horribly maintained. Whats the point of hitting thr fairway if you’re driving on the moon with gravity tuned hp to 11. Divots everywhere. Patches all around. Sand is assavle.

Greens and tee boxes are relatively nice tho.

Please dont let this be the next links at victoria

Gopher holes, thickets, trash, and homeless encampments are making the place more dangerous. Way too expensive.

The fairways are not in great condition. The ride in a cart is very bumpy. You have to drive rather slowly or else loose items will fly out of the cart due to the bumps. The greens are in good shape however.

Fun course, but brutally slow. It took 5 1/4 hours to play, and there was a six-some two groups ahead of us. No marshall to manage pace. The course is fun, but the waiting for every shot was tough. I would not recommend playing here on the weekends

It's embarrassing what this course asks for a round of golf on a Saturday considering the amount of effort they put into their maintenance. By no means am I a professional, but when you're constantly standing in mud and hitting on dead grass, there's no chance anybody is going to have a good time. The course layout is decent and the staff was friendly, although the kitchen was closed and the bar was limited due to staffing issues. Considering I had to drive 40 minutes to get here, I won't be back.

All staff very helpful & friendly.

Keeping up a great work.
