Willodell Golf Club of Niagara
Rating Snapshot
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.

Great course
I always enjoy playing this course, it's well maintained and the staff is great
Misleading Posting on Golfnow
We booked a fouraome on GolfNow and nowhere, did it say that it was a walking rate thus us we presumed it was riding rate however when we arrived at the course we were told, . No, this was a walking rate and you should’ve known this by the price you paid for the rounds. This was not only very misleading. I feel that it has happened multiple times at the course since they seem to have a standard answer. This is totally unacceptable by the course and GOLFNOW. I have requested that golf now change the verbiage on their site to reflect this
Great Value!
Willodell is known to have some of the best greens in the Niagara Region. The tee boxes seem a little beat up, but that's because the tee blocks are too far apart, thus not allowing the grass to recover. The layout is challenging with many tee options. The staff is friendly and range with "free" practice balls is a nice bonus albeit irons only are allowed, but still nice for a warmup. I would definitely recommend the course to anyone especially the hot deals through Golf Now make this course a must play!
Hidden gem.
Great hidden gem in the Niagara area. Greens, fairways and tee decks in great condition. Probably the best value for the price. Will be back.
Outrageous cart fee!!
It’s a SHAME, that this course is a cart gouging course!! $25 per person and in the same cart!! $50 for two people to ride and it only benefits the course to speed up play. So why are you charging so much for a cart?
Something needs to be done about this and the other courses that are doing this… aside from that the course was in decent shape and the greens rolled nice. Simple layout. Highly recommend to walk this course and take your time!! Maybe they’ll stop charging so much….
Great morning at Willodell
Great morning playing at Willodell with my son who was visiting from Nova Scotia. Tee decks, fairways and greens were in great shape. The only things that took away from a perfect rating was a fair amount of sitting water in the bunkers and some sloppy pathways between holes on the back nine. Other than that was a great test of golf with a park like setting. Really enjoyed it!
Great Course!
We played about 12 hours after a decent amount of rain so we were a little worried about the course being unplayable due to standing water. We were surprised to find that the course was in considerably good condition even with the rain.
The course itself played pretty long but was decently open on most holes if you can’t keep it in the fairway. Greens were decently slow, likely due to water from the rain.
Overall I would absolutely recommend this course to anyone interested in treating themselves to a nice course while still being a good price. Definitely a hidden gem!
Good place to play.
I had enjoyable game with my wife and I’m sure we will be back soon enough to play.
Very nice
Course was in really nice shape, well taken care of. The price was very good
