Communication

I bought 9 holes AND a cart and I showed up and they told me I couldn’t ride. This should have been communicated before purchase. I had to relocate my golf for the day.

Rough shape

Shorter 9 hole course with lots of old growth trees. The course is in rough shape and overpriced because of this. Pace of play was fine. Still had fun just expected more for the money.

This is a perfect practice course. Nothing flashy, nothing expensive just a good practice course. 9 hole only.

Excellent shape

Coarse was in great shape and they added a few things to make it easier to read. Markers at each tee and stakes in the middle to mark your yardage. Excellent idea.

Greens are a little long.

Overall shape and playing experience was GREAT. Nice 9 hole layout... there with my wife who is just learning the game. Greens were a bit long... I understand they had some trouble with the greens last year, so they are coming back... I would recommend this course.

Go to driving range instead

Course has now been horrible for 2 years, friendly staff garbage course. They should be embarrassed to take money. Not worth it. They have a lot of people putting up5 star reviews, don’t buy it!

Pass on this place, used to be good, conditions. Now the tee box, fairway and greens are like playing in a farm field, there’s no difference

They even sprayed painted the greens last year!! This was my last time to try n play this place, never again!

Perfect weather
Used cart

Too Many Leafs!

Willow Run has the potential to be a great nine hole course, unfortunately it leaves something to be desired. When I arrived they were running 15-20 minutes behind and there were no golf carts available. I had to wait until a group finished their round of golf before I got their cart. There was no starter/ranger thus the pace of play was slow. The tee boxes, greens, and fairways need a lot of work, especially the greens. The weather was beautiful but since it was November all the leafs were on ground. It was difficult finding our ball even on fairways. I have seen many golf courses use riding leaf blowers which greatly helps clear the course and allows for golfers to find their ball and keep up the pace of play. I was told by the others I was playing with that the course is usually much nicer at the beginning of the year. That being so, the course needs a lot of care, especially the greens.

Great staff, horrible course

The lady inside the club house was awesome, the starter was great. The course itself was trash. This course needs to be shut down for some serious TLC. The greens were in terrible condition. Spots worn out that changed the direction of the ball. Not worth the money unfortunately.
