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.

Great natural layout

At this time of year it is possible to play through some fall
maintenance issues. The greens were Punched and
Top-dressed making putting difficult.

The greens were well maintained and quick.

The course was in good shape, however it was very full which led to a slow round.

Interesting

Willow Dale is an interesting course and is well maintained. The rough could be a little shorter so golfers wouldn't have to be looking for balls.

Challenging to all levels of skill

I have played here numerous times in the last few years , and the course seems to get better everytime I play. Well bunkered and tree lined to make shot placement and course management key in the way that you approach each hole. Well manicured fairways, fast greens and well maintained bunkers. A must play if you get the opportunity!

Good mature course

Overall, the course was good for an older mature course. Greens are a good size and in good shape. Biggest complaint is the fairways are VERY bumpy which made for an unpleasant power cart ride. The back 9 is far more interesting than the front 9.

Very nice.

Course was very nice and well kept. Staff was very friendly. The only this that was a little bit of problem is that the holes are very close to other tee offs.

The course was in good shape. Good to hit shots off and placement was need for the next shot in order to get the ball to the green.

Course was a little busier than most times due to members appreciation day. It still was not bad. Greens were in good shape.

Great test for any golfer

Willowdell is a magnificent golf course. We played on a hot, muggy morning starting on the back 9. The course was in superb condition, the pace of play was crisp and the layout was a good challenge. Bunkers are few but smartly-placed. Water hazards are numerous but will only eat up wildly errant shots. It is a generally flat course that takes advantage of natural undulations in terrain to keep you on your toes. This is a must for any players visiting the Niagara Falls/Welland area.

Good course for the money.

Had a good time at Willodell, greens were in excellent shape and were very challenging. Fairways were in good shape, rough wasn't thick so even if you didn't hit the fairways or your ball rolled off it was find-able. Great value for the money spent.

Willodell Golf Club

The course was in great condition from tee to green. There are many tee off blocks making the course play from 5258 to 6724 yards, accommodating all skill levels.

We particularly enjoyed holes 14 -18 that follow the creek. All these holes have wonderful elevation changes and some blind tee / approach shots that are even more enjoyable from the back tees.

There's not much level ground around this course, which is especially noticeable when riding in a cart. Many fairways have mounds everywhere which makes for a very bumpy ride. If someone has back problems, they might want to bring some extra cushion, or simply be better off walking.

This would be a very easy course to walk because the holes are close together. Because of this a stray tee shot can easily end up in another fairway.

The pace of play was quite slow for a Tuesday and would've liked to see a marshal around telling one foursome in particular to speed up or let people pass.

Willodell is a nice course and a good value from golfnow.
I would play again.

Fast greens, well maintained fairways.

Fairways were well maintained, greens were perfect & the pace of play was good too. Would definitely recommend this course to friends and hopefully will get another chance to go back this year.
