About
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.

Willodell
The greens and fairways are maintained very nicely. The rough was very long but patchy. The bunkers need more sand and I would recommend entry and exit signs to help keep the course in better condition for better lies. Overall a good bang for the buck!
Good greens
Nice true, fairly quick greens are best thing about this course. Fairways, rough, and bunkers mediocre conditioning. Boring uninspiring layout except for a couple holes on back 9.
I won’t be back
They sold it with a cart course was too wet for a cart let alone to walk they have no drainage whatsoever I would only recommend this course for twenty bucks during the summer with a cart after no rain for two weeks!
Hello, Cakes84. Thank you for reviewing the course. Your feedback about the course is important to us. With the recent rain we are working to get everything up to par. We are working to recover the fairways and greens from the water on the course. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We will continue to work towards an excellent experience by using your comment for guidance. Thank you for playing Willodell Golf Club of Niagara. We hope to see you again soon.
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.
Thanks for the review. We see you rated the traps negatively and are interested in learning what else we can do to improve for your next visit. We take negative feedback very serious at our course. Please reach out to our team in the golf shop. We always appreciate the feedback. Thank you for playing Willodell Golf Club of Niagara.
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.
Hello, thank you for taking the time to leave Willodell Golf Club of Niagara a review. We are sorry to see that your overall experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you'll give us another try in the near future.
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
Willodell
Love the course, a little challenging greens are true
Great Course
Course was in great condition and very well maintained. Was great to find a course where the bunkers are in perfect shape. Will definitely play again.
course
Would like to play this course again when it's not raining, got rained out after 15 holes after waiting 30 min after 8 holes
Rainy Day
Experience was tainted because it rained for a large portion of the day. Course was in good shape, greens roll quickly and true
