Willodell Golf Club of Niagara
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.

Aerated greens
Entire course greens had been aerated and sand applied and we were not notified of this when booking
Great Day - real value!
We were impressed with the course. What a great value from golfnow.com. The staff were very friendly although the weather wasn't the greatest. Still had a great round of golf.
Good course
My wife and I played this course on our annual Niagara Falls trip.
We enjoyed both the course and the service and plan to come back next year.
Sand & Green nightmare
The course was in excellent shape, however the greens were just a little to fast.
The staff was not friendly at all starting at the pro shop ... to the starter. May be if they smiled they would enjoy their job more. With regard to the bunkers I found the sand to top was soft, however about an half inch below the soft sand it became harder to try to get through the sand
Great Day
Great day and great course, weather was outstanding for this time of year, everyone took advantage of the weather which slowed down the play.

Thank You
Nice Course, Great Condition, Fast Greens
Enjoyed the course, absolute great condition, not too difficult, plays long from the white tee blocks-no roll with wet fairways. Tee blocks good shape, greens are fast. The last 5 holes are bent and more challenging.
Great course
I would recommend playing this course to family and friends. Worth making the drive out to Niagara. Greens were in excellent condition. Fun to play the first few holes starting out with two par 5 and still followed by a third par 5 on the front nine. Gets you warmed up quickly. Beautifully tree lined fairways and great speedy greens! I'm definitely interested in playing here again.
Course has above average fairways and surprisingly fast greens
Fairly flat layout until the last 5 holes. Well-kept fairways, greens, tees and bunkers. Most trouble is in front of you and course plays as you see it. Last 5 holes may be the shortest but may prove to be the toughest with the elevation changes and strong movement to the right. This last stretch keeps your attention and provides a strong finish to your round. Fairly large greens with some movement and rather quick that putted true. Good value and good pace of play - nice course.
Traditional track of parkland beauty
I have been playing this course fore years. It remains one of my favourite "go-to" tracks. The greens are of the best in Niagara - always have been. The course is wonderfully manicured. It is an enjoyable round in a park land environment albeit ridden with 'tourists' who tend to slow the round down to waiting on almost every hole on the back 9. It's a good thing I'm not in a hurry to get off a beautiful golf course as Willowdell...
great
great game ; great weather ; great shape ; great staff ; I'll go back anytime even if the weather is lousy ...
Always in good shape.
With the current crunch in the golf industry some semi-privates are cutting back on conditioning to save money. If they are cutting back here it is not evident. Staff are friendly. Pace of play always good Play here quite often and never have had a bad experience. Challenging enough for the low handicapper but still playable to high handicap.
Willowdale
The course is well maintained.
Greens are small.
Difficult == many holes.
Restaurant --- SLOW -- 45 minutes for 3 cheeseburgers and a poutine.
And we told them that we needed to get back out there to finish the back 9.
And the restaurant was not busy at all.
So slow that I would say totally unacceptable.
Golf is good just dont eat there.
very nice course
Everything was A plus, with the exception of the beer cart girl. Not friendly or efficient. But, maybe just a bad day for her. Definitely a great course on every level otherwise.
Good Value for the money
Good course with great staff and each hole had uniuqe challenges. First course I played in the region. Interesting to see how it might compare
Excellent condition
The course was very well maintained with some of the best conditioned greens I've seen in the area.
Excellent mid range course
It's not The National, but it's far from a dog track. Very good value.
Great Value
Paid 40 dollars for golf and cart, fairways, bunkers and greens in great condition. Staff was friendly. Played in 4 hrs.
