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.

This course is always in excellent condition

I have played at Willodell for many years in the Ladie's League. The league is well run and fun. The food in the dining room is inexpensive and good value. The course is ALWAYS in excellent shape. I keep coming back for good reason!

Great Value - Good Course

Willodell is a good course that had excellent spring conditions - particularly the greens for April. The layout is not overly difficult but has a few spots where you need to be careful. I got a hot deal that was really great but overall the pricing is competitive and I have enjoyed playing here on a numerous occasions.

Fantastic track

This golf course is very hard to play from the whites, so if you play the blues or golds it will make for an interesting round. Course was in great shape for April 20th. Will definitely be back.

Willodell is a treat to play.

The layout of the course is fantastic. It's an out and back links style yet with woodland features. The staff are great and conditioning is always top notch. The only knock is if you play your round when League play is going on then the pace of play suffers. You might want to book your round away from these times, so ask. Otherwise once you play Willodell you will want to return.

Nice day 5 hours

Last day of the year, good shape and great weather so slow is the way to go. Too bad the clubhouse was closed would have had a couple of cold ones. Can't wait til next year.

single play

was allowed out early as course was wide open - played through a walking twosome on 11. Considering it was November, conditions were excellent - sunny, no wind - started with 4 layers (under armour, shirt, zip top and vest and toque) and played with 3 layers and cap. - Course was in excellent shape, great fairways and greens - lost balls whenever I strayed off fairway -especially blind shots. To be expected with fallen leaves and lower sun.

I booked day before as a hot deal - too true. An unbelievable bargain -

look forward to playing here again

RETURN TO WILLODELL

My wife and i had played here earlier in the summer. We wanted to squeeze in another fall round and weather was not looking good, but GOLFNOW had a good deal and the rain looked less severe in the Niagara area.

Turn out to bet a very pleasant day, it was warm and the rain held off. Paired up with a local resident and his friend. Course was in very good shape, staff friendly and we confirmed our initial opinion that this a course we should play more often.

Layout is out and back on both nines, but without too much interference with other holes. There are couple of interesting holes such as the driveable 14th. Not terribly long but some challenges if wild off the tee. Greens were in great shape

The rippled fairways seem to be well known to anyone who has played here. Location was possibly an orchard in the past? These make the cart ride a bit bouncy,. however, layout of the course would easily allow for walking.

Unimaginative

Course up keep was impressive, the course itself lacked imagination...front nine was pretty straight forward, back nine had a couple nice holes with challenging obstacles.

We did however feel like the marshals followed our group around all day waiting for a slip up. Which when we forgot to replace one divot, we heard about it immediately! Guess cause we're in our early 30's and have sleeve tattoos, must mean we're up to no good. Definitely not a younger crowd, and caters to older more "traditional' golfers.
