Willowbrook Golf Course

Let's face it Willowbrook needs work on their cart paths, bathrooms, trees and pretty much everything. The best part of why I like the place and will continue to use it is 18 holes in under 3 hours. Maybe lucky, but yesterday absolutely nothing slowed us down. Great practice and although not in great shape, for the golfer on a budget and looking for an outing with the challenge of playing golf - it was a good experience.

I have been threatening to play this course for quite some time. Finally said what the heck today and gave it a shot. Won’t be back. The design of the course is horrible, the conditions of their greens are about the same. You pay for a tee time, and if tee times are managed appropriately then pace of play is good. You are not riding the group in front of you and have minimal pressure behind you. When I checked in 30min before our tee time he handed us the keys to the cart and says when you are ready just head over to the first tee. So as people show up it’s just here’s your key go play golf with no respect for proper spacing. I will not waste my money to play here again and recommend you don’t bother.

Played this course 3 months ago wasn’t bad. The greens were terrible. So slow and bumpy. The fairways were ok but no roll was really wet. If I played here again I would wait awhile to play it. It needs to dry out.

It was really wet so considering that, the course was in fair condition. The greens could use a little bit of TLC. They are not fast by any means. The layout is decent. I had not been here in 15 years and it hasn't changed much. If you want a low price round of golf with a decent layout, this is right for you. If you want nice pristine fairways and greens, go somewhere else. The staff are great and very accomodating as well.

Course was in extremely poor condition. Clumps of grass Completely coving the fairways. Extremely wet and greens were as lumpy as a bag of potatoes. Course has been in decline for years. 40$ green fees is way to high for the conditions of this course. More like a $10 course. Don’t waste your time and money.

Course layout is such that it is difficult to find the next tee box, in some cases. Better cart paths and batter signage will help. Ball cleaners at several tee boxes will be good. Drinking water accessibility will be helpful.

The condition had slightly improved since last visit. This said whilst the fairways were fairly well cut the rough was far too long and caused unnecessary delays in finding balls etc. The greens need further attention and were woolly. Hopefully the improvements will continue and the course will reach its full potential.

The design of this course is interesting but very flat. The real issue is, however, the state of the course. The course needs significant and regular grooming. The greens are not in a good place and the fairways first cut, is very long. If the course had a greater focus, then I suspect it would welcome greater numbers of players?

Willowbrook is a pretty good course for the most part. To lose balls in the fairways is ridiculous! Not sure whats happened, perhaps their mowers are all broke down or they have nobody that knows how to mow. If you hit your ball in the woods or OB and can’t find it, thats on you, but to hit your ball just just slightly off dead center of the fairway and cant find your ball do to uncut fairways,,,thats on the course and it’s management
