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.

Beautifully well maintained - a SOLID 4
Originally could have been slow, but a 4some let us through on the front nine and we breezed through after that in just under 4 hrs - not bad for a Sunday. The greens were perfect and true and the bunkers were consistant. As one reviewer said - "a bomber's delight" - as long as you hit it straight, but if your game is a bit off, there are just enough trees to keep you honest. All in all, a fun little course.
Great day for golf
Booked as a single and was hooked up with a threesome consisting of a gentleman and his two grandsons. The kids could really hit the ball and had me wishing I was younger. Fairways, rough and greens well maintained.
Great course for intermediate golfers.
Great day on the links with the whole family. Would recommend Willodell to anyone wanting to get out with the family.
Beautiful course
This course is well maintained and has beautiful fairways and trees. Nice mixture of par 3's and 5's with bunkers and water hazards. Quite enjoyable.
Well maintained - great practice area - excellent clubhouse..
It was very enjoyable playing this course for the first time. The par 3's are not the easiest as bunkers protect the majority of the pins - all very challenging to par.
The course is set up nicely with equal left/right dog legs. Trees can play a major part in one's score should you have a tendency to spray the ball. Definitely challeging enugh!
Overall, the green fees are fair even at the regular rate. Using Golfnow.com to register T/T, the track is really a 'must to play'.
Clubhouse is super great for the 19th. All staff were extremely accomodating/super friendly. I will definitely return.
This course is great for gripping and ripping
Nice course if you like the driver.
Good value for the money
Good Course, not overly challenging
Golfed with a three some 2 days ago. We all thought the course was in very good condition, greens and fairways were very well kept.. This course plays long from the tips due to the placement of the tee boxes so I wouldn't recommend them unless you are above average. Some of the hills had rolling hills as others mentioned which is a bit of a rough ride but nothing that bothered us. There are very few bunkers on the fairways so there is not much punishment to go long off every tee, that's the only thing I would change.
NIce overall design
I thought the entire GC was fantastic. The service was great and the cleanliness and attention to detail was exceptional.
Great Course with a nice dining room.
Nice staff - everyone is very friendly. Great pace of play. Have been a few times and always enjoyed it.
If I was a better golfer this is a moderate to challenging course - but even after 10 years I find it challenging but isn't that what we want?
good.
Pace is good Marshall around to ensure front group is moving.
Willodell of Niagara
The course was in nice shape. Par 5's felt like they played long sometimes. It was a nice golf course that had some fun holes and some challenging holes.
Nice clubhouse with all the amenities. Showers were very clean. Could have used another restroom on the course.
I will go back again anytime. Would recommend it to anyone.
In great shape, annoying fairways
This course is in great shape. Unfortunately the fairways are simply terrible, driving the cart along them requires some extra cushion for your backside. It seems as if the course was built on an old vineyard judging by the nasty hills throughout all of the fairways. even a solid drive up the middle is penalized by nasty lies amongst these "bumps". Staff was excellent, I would never in a million years pay full price for this course though, golfnow deals are the only way I will be back. Pace of play was also terrible, the starter advised the owner had 24 people go out that day and it slowed us to a crawl.
nice course
very nice course no problems what so ever every thing was superb
Course is consistently good
Great value for the golfnow hot deal rate! The course is always in good shape, very consistent upkeep. It would be nice if you could access the range before your round, was told by staff that "range isn't included with the golfnow price ".....odd considering the minimal cost to use a range. Aside from that, good value if under $35.
best shape in years
A challenging and demanding course. Course is in the best shape in years. Fast greens, tree lined fairways and plenty of water trouble keeps the golfer focused. A delight to play.
Nice Course and Great Value for the money
Enjoyed our round here very much. Greens we're fabulous, nice speed and very true. The course was a bit wet as there was a good thunderstorm the night before. Good test of golf, you have to keep the ball on target as there are tree lined fairways. Back nine favoured a left to right ball flight and Front nine went the opposite way, right to left. Was fun working the ball both ways. We will go back. Nice Clubhouse and facilities....impressive and only 7 minutes from home!! Sweet.....
Enjoyable,some fun challenges
The staff were professional & courteous . Overall it was a very nice round for my foursome. Would play there again fore sure .
Great course and facilities as well.
We required a tee-time for 8. After booking a 4-some on Golfnow, Willodell was very accommodating in fitting in another tee-time in an adjacent slot.
Course is in great shape and very challenging.
Will definitely continue to play this course and highly recommend to others.
Best 'course for value' in Niagara region
When taking into consideration quality of course vs price, this course might have the best ratio in Niagara. This course is always in great shape, tee to green. This course is near perfect for a bogey golfer...if playing well, can definitely break 90 by some strokes. If not, you'll be well over 90. Great mix of some tough holes, and some easier. Clubhouse is great. My only 2 issues are:
1) (minor): a few too many similar dogleg right holes
2) (major): the pace of play at this course has been an issue for us more often than not over the years, including this one. With all the emphasis on 'while we're young' lately, this course continues to tolerate slow play more than it should. Rangers, do your job! (or don't cram so many people into tee times)
Course was in great shape and weather was about perfect.
Played with three guys who also were there on golfnow. Had a great time with them as our games were about equal.
