Willowick Golf Course

After a long winter up north, I was excited to play some golf. Without swinging a club for 4 months, I had a hard time paying $150+ for a round of golf, that's why I golfed here. To course condition is BRUTAL!! Bumpy greens, irrigation issues, dead spots everywhere. I won't be going back.

Great place to workout your swing! You save money because you will not lose a ball here, no water hazards and fairways are parallel for most of the holes

I wish I knew how poor the condition was before I booked. Bumpy greens, irrigation leaks, terrible fairways. One of the worst conditioned courses I’ve played in a while. The pace was good, but it usually is at 6:30am. I joined another group and it was enjoyable. To bad for the bad condition. I won’t be going back,

Had an afternoon t time was told pace was ok.From the first tee it was slow expected for holiday golf but 3 hrs for 9 holes is absurd.The course had no Marshal to regulate pace.This course is in really bad shape.The greens,bunkers,t boxes, and especially the fairways are a mess.For that this course charges you woukd think something wiuld be funneled back into the course.DON'T .The one redeeming quality is the staff.They do their best to make yiur round bearable.

Used to playing here for years. Course has new management and supposedly will have a new fleet of carts next week. Fairways are extremely BUMPY! So, if you have a really bad back, this old course is not for you!

For the money, and if you don't mind some noise in the community around the course, than it's a good place to play. Greens are very decent, and although they look flat, they can fool you! Good chipping and putting will make your numbers here.

This was perhaps a nice golf experience...50 years ago. Now, it's terrible. Out of carts constantly. Cart we had died on front 9. Fairways?....Well, they don't really exist; and what there is, consists of dry and hard patches of dead bermuda and crabgrass. 90% of the terrain is so bumpy it's difficult to walk or ride on. Greens were OK, but needed to be cut when we played. Cart paths are 50/50 concrete and old dusty dirt paths. Layout doesn't make sense most of the time and is packed together so that you're in danger of being hit by errant shots all around the course. A couple of protective fences in the obvious danger zones, but mostly in disrepair and looked terrible. If it's your first time playing course, the layout is so screwy that it's extremely difficult to know where the next tee box is, and that's if you're going to a hole where there's actually a sign. Some holes didn't even have a tee box sign...and if they did, they were facing in a direction that made it impossible to navigate your way to the next hole. Pace of play is horrid...long wait on every hole. Pro shop is a joke. A few hats, a couple sleeves of balls and boxes of lost & found items. Bathrooms locked at 5:00 because of vagrancy issues. I realize this place is old...but it's a mess. It was obviously left without attention and investment for many years. Not coming back. Don't waste your time. There's far better public/muni golf options in the area, for the same $$.

My golf cart was dying around hole 6. On the turn after hole 9. We switched carts with the club house. This one also was running out of battery. By hole 12 we were losing massive power. There was an employee towing carts on the course (were they dead also?) I told him that we switched out carts and this one was dying as well. He said he would bring a new cart to us. Of course he never came back. Once we finished at 18, (which my brother and I were pushing to get it started) we saw that same employee by our cars, and yelled at him, and he just drove off.

New year day. You know it's a holiday, many people are going to play, and how do you not have enough carts charged. It definitely put a damper on the last 4/5 holes as we were push starting the cart.

The course on the other hand, was ok. Fairways were ok, Greens were real nice, running real fast. That with the hole placement made for a nice challenge. We did our best to make due, and not ruin the start of our new year, but that cart really left a bad taste in our mouth.

First time playing here and will definitely be back for future rounds! Course has great layout and staff is top notch.

Have played this course a lot before. Has usually been an average course, but affordable. This time, greens were horrible.

I've been playing Willowick for ten years, and it seems like every year the condition of the course gets better and better. I never have a problem getting a tee time, and I'm always greeted with a smile. I've met quite a few other seniors there and that is always fun. The course layout is pretty flat and it's difficult to lose your ball. But don't let that fool you, there are some mean bunkers that really make things interesting. I'm a loyal customer and will continue to be. Great value for the price!

My buddies and I wanted an affordable course that we could play to get ready for our Sunday golf match.

For $24 we got a great round of golf and a hot dog !

The fairways are a little bit spotty in places and they are in need of a little gopher control but the greens were very nice and we actually like the layout of the course. The fairways are wide and fair.

The pace of play was very good we started the round at 12pm and finished in less than four hours..

We will be back.

I've played here before, and have never seen the course THIS bad. Granted, it's no Black Gold, but even David L Baker makes this course look like a barely Lawn mowed cow pasture with some poles sticking out of the ground with greens where little calves apparently walked across leaving their hoof impressions to alter the course of your ball on approach to the hole.

It has gone WAY downhill with no apparent pride of ownership to ensure that fairways and greens are at least minimally maintained, much less cared for by someone who respects the game and the course.

Pass on this one and spend a little more to make your way over to Dad Miller in Anaheim for a stark contrast.

Unfortunately it looks like the writing is on the wall for this course. Talked to a long time player at this course (family has played there since the 50's) and it is going through a rough time and may be gone soon. Would be a shame. We enjoyed it more than our private courses conditions. Although the fairways are not perfect and there is not a lot of definition to where the rough starts it was very playable tee to green. Greens were great except for a few that had some overly wet areas along the edges. Nice and smooth otherwise. Lots of check or zip back on approach shots. Worth the green fee they ask? Barely... But still enjoyable. Would take very little to bring the fairways and rough back around. Will be a real shame if it goes away.
