Willow hill

I am not a great golfer but the course was fun and has a great view. There was some construction going on as to the -1 star. But will come back for sure.

Fun for a casual nine hole rounds of golf

The staff is super friendly. Course was in good condition not super difficult. The group in front of us was incredibly slow.

Willow Hill

The improvement to the bunkers is welcome. Wish the golfers playing the course would do a better job of fixing their ball marks. The greens look like they have been through a Hail Storm.

Always a great experience

Easy check-in on time tee off. We walked using the pull carts (My only criticism is many of the carts need repairs/parts)

Outdoor grill was operational and the service/food was above average.

Unique corse

The fairways, especially the 9th, are more plush than most course's greens! I'll never play in Scotland so this is as close as I will get. Excellent and unique.
