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.

Nice fall day
Course was in okay shape, some bunkers were a little rough. Pace was great for a Saturday, greens were good except for the few leaves around which is expected this time of year. Staff always friendly and price is right for the course.
Good layout
Layout is excellent, fairway condition need a lot of work. Greens were good. They should invest the money to have consistent condition, fairways teas and greens.
okay overall
late in season, cooler day, nobody else there so was fast, however the extra $25 EACH for a cart was ridiculous
Round 2
Great course, in excellent shape. Well maintained.
Greens are nice
Putting was a challenge as greens are in htess as t shape, balls rolling nicely and demanding proper speeds. Enjoyable round.
renting a cart was terribly expensive ... have a walking disability and was a necessity, however. Lots of poorly kept fairways including a general 'wave' affect... ever 4-10 feet there were seemingly intentional inclines and declines... very strange.
Tee boxes and fairways were in poor shape
I liked the layout but the tee boxes and fairways were in need of quite a bit of maintenance. It’s unfortunate because the course has potential. The greens seemed to be in good shape.
Very nice course
1. Great layout
2. Conditions of greens and tee boxes very good
3. Fairways need work. Way too many bare spots
4. Staff is excellent
5. Easy drive from Peace Bridge. Wish it was closer
6. Seemed a little pricey?
Great course but 5 hour rounds are terrible
When you see "Hot Price" perhaps there is a reason. Tee off after an all ladies tournament. Horribly slow, 5 hours. 11:00 to 4:00 in the blazing sun. Never do that again. Pay more and get normal conditions. Course itself it very nice with some challenging holes.
Nice course in great condition
Really enjoyed playing here. The grounds were in great condition including the bunkers. The bar area needs improvement though the girl working there was excellent. Will definitely return!
Not impressed
I have played almost every course in the Niagara region this year, (many of them several times) and a handful of others outside of the region. This is the first course I was truly disappointed with and will not return to (and I am not a picky golfer, I love courses like St. David's). The top 3 disappointments were: the fairways were in awful shape, the layout is rather boring, and they charged $50 for a cart for 2 of us to do a twilight. Sorry, but come on... anything more than $30 a cart for a twilight at a mediocre course with dying fairways is kinda ridiculous.
