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.

The course is in great shape !

The Management Especially A guy Named Mario has a Atttiude Problem .He thinks that only Members of the course have priveleges and not Players in a League every week or playing at least every week with a foursome doesn't qualify for you for any passes for a Stag and Doe for My Daughter so that will be the Last Time I 'll Play on their Course Because I'm Not Considered InTheir Class Of Members.

Willodell

Was pleasantly surprised that the staff knew about golf now.com and was expecting me. So many times you show up with something from the internet and the staff has no clue. Was very surprised by this club and the course. Overall very impressed the only thing that could have been better was the weather...but thats never under our control.

Good Greens, well maintained course, large modern clubhouse

Arrived just in time due to traffic delays, but was warmly welcomed and sent immediately to the first tee, and was off within 5 mins, this course has a starter that is pleasant and informative as are all the staff here.
Course is pretty much straight away with most trouble visible but some hazards could be better marked . A suggestion would be to have a hole map at each tee as there are a couple of blind tee shots and lay up shots especially on the back nine.
The bunkers and greens where in great condition, the latter putting very evenly though a couple of them have a fair amount of slope to them.
While the course starts relatively easily the closing holes require both distance and accuracy to have any chance of making par.
Overall a very enjoyable course to play and the staff in both the pro shop and the restaurant make for a great experience.
Thanks Chuck and staff
I will definitely be back to play

Decent course but conditons weren't great

It rained all night the day I played this course so the conditions weren't great. The course was obviously very wet. The bunkers were like swimming pools, the rough had huge puddles and one of the holes the cart path was beside a little creek was completely flooded and I had to backtrack and walk around.

The deal I booked included a cart but the course wasn't allowing carts out on the course because of the water. I didn't want to walk a course of this length so this negatively impacted my experience. (GolfNow refunded part of the price at least).

Besides the rain the course has a decent layout; and some very long holes. There aren't really any holes that really stand out to me. There were lots of hazards which made this course challenging.

The staff was okay. There were no marshals or drink carts out however. The pace of play was okay since it wasn't that busy.

Overall I'd say the course is average. Nothing special. The deal would have to be really good for me to return. It isn't a bad course but with lots of options in Niagara region I probably won't return anytime soon.

Very well maintained course enjoyable round.

You will have to use different approaches on a number of holes, some may require you to lay-up, as hazards are awaiting an errant shot.

Fairly challenging course. Fairways soft, due to season. Played fairly long because of that. Conditions were about as good as could be expected. Greens rolled true and fast. Miss the fairways by a little and you have a shot. Miss by 5 yards and no shot. Really good deal for the money! Will play again.

Great course condition for so early in the season. Fast greens and raked bunkers add to the challenge of Willodell.

Well groomed, good hole placement.

Course was is good condition overall considering the time of year. No beer cart which was disappointing but that could be because its early in the season. Rough was muddy but to be expected considering weather of late. Greens and fairways were dry and clean. Great deal for $42 when I booked through golfnow, included 18 with cart. Overall it was a great day of golf, would go back again but only on a deal rate.

The only problem was the amount of leaves on the course.

The course was in great shape except for the leaves which could have been blown off.
