Willodell Golf Club of Niagara is neighbored by Lyon Creek to one side and Tee Creek to the other. The championship layout sprawls across rolling hills covered with mature trees, which border the undulating fairways. Several ponds and two creeks come into play on 10 holes. There are numerous strategically placed bunkers to contend with in addition to the water hazards. The layout features a mix of driving holes, strategic holes, and some tough par 3s. Being so diverse, the golf course appeals to a range of different skill levels and tastes. The fifth hole is Willodell Golf Club's most difficult par 3 with trees right and left and a frontal bunker that forces a full carry to the green, which is also bunkered on both sides with grassy lateral hazards that sit beyond the sand.

Striving to be like ICC

Course is going downhill. Traps are garbage. Sand is needed in all traps. This could be the turning point for this course. Does it go to yet another marginal course or do they do what is necessary to make it a course worthy of playing. Only time will tell.

Pleasantly Surprised. Very Nice

Overall conditions are very good. Fairways are good except for a few spots. Rough is nice -very little weeds. As expected for this time of year greens are airated. Way too much sand on most of them, may e they just put it down this AM?

Anyway. Nice starter.

Will be back.

Starter was terrible

We arrived at the course about an hour early. We checked in, and were told to check with stater when we were ready. About 40 minutes prior to our tee time, we checked in with the starter, who told us at the time that he was waiting on couple people, then we could go. So we sat there and waited, and waited. About 30 minutes in, not one person had teed off, yet we weren't allowed to tee off, and all 4 of us were there ready to play. We decided to talk to the stater, who started rambling on about how awful GolfNow is, that he doesn't make any money from GolfNow, how we all arrive hours early and expect to get on early, etc etc. We then expressed our displeasure, we were there only 45 minutes early, and NOT ONE person had teed off. How was he making ANY money at that point if no one was there ready to tee off. And that if he let us on prior, then the 2:00 tee time would be freed up for any potential walk ons. Terrible course management. So we patiently waited for our tee time. Left a very bad impression, too the point where I wouldn't recommend this course to anyone, and doubt we will play there again. I mean if you don't like GolfNow, that's your prerogative, and he should cancel their deal. But to take it out on the customer, that's just terrible customer service and terrible business practice!!

Usually play here 2-3 times per year but first visit this summer. Like the course layout and level of challenge.

Some greens were rough ; folks fix your ball marks please. Several tee boxes were chewed up as well. However enjoyed the round and will try to get back before end of season

Staff always friendly here

Just to slow..

A decent mid value course. It is not the best or the worst in the area. However, the pace of play was abysmal a wait on every hole.
