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.

I’ve always liked the layout of Willodell. It’s fair to golfers of all ages and abilities.

Mostly great people starting with Blake in the Pro Shop and Larry the Starter.

Great to see a Marshall out on the course, although it was not very busy when we golfed.

Good golfing value for the money when compared to some of the other courses in the area. Not thrilled with paying $25 per person for a cart. $15 each would have gotten them an “excellent” value rating instead of “good”.

Disappointed by the girl working in the bar/restaurant. Not friendly and a poor listener. Never smiled. Definitely got the vibe that she really didn’t want to be there or interact with customers. Either a bad day or a bad career choice. Wouldn’t stop me from going back, but I would avoid the bar/restaurant if she’s there.

Avoid

This course has not had any real maintenance to maintain the layout in 50 years

Every fairway is full of ruts due to inadequate drainage.

Bunkers were full of water and i Unplayable… With no rain for three days! Trees that were planted 60 years ago to provide some definition. are now so overgrown and improperly placed i, you just need to slap the ball up the middle. May work for low budget member golfers with a 30 HCP?

The cart fee was not included and was almost as much as the green fee—-bail and switch 😖
