Under Construction/Poor Conditions
Fairways and greens very soft with standing water in many places. Bunkers are terrible, also with standing water. . Lots of construction going on. No ball washers....this course needs lots of work.
Hi, we appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We understand your frustration with the construction projects underway. Please bear with us as we work diligently to make improvements. We hope you'll give us another try in the future.
best 9
Play this course at least once a week. At nearly 70, the course provides just enough challenge and exercise for those that simply don't have the time or energy to spend 4 1/2 hours playing 18. With no backups takes 75 minutes to play; even at its slowest takes well under 2 hours. The course is well kept from tee to greens. Small to medium greens and mostly narrow fairways, sand traps and water provide the challenge despite the overall short length. Finally, the staff is friendly and accommodating.
Thanks so much for your wonderful review. We are thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed your time with us. Please visit again soon. Thanks for choosing Willow Hill Golf Course!
Doesn’t get better than this
Beautiful scenic views, it’s surreal to be that highly elevated over the Chicago area. Course is challenging without being overly difficult, the putting greens are incredible. Staff is friendly and accommodating, and they will be adding another 9 holes. As a high handicapper I love the lack of trees and water hazardous, I usually play with refurbished “disposable” balls due to my frequent slices into the trees/water, but at Willow Hill, I’ve let to lose a ball in 27 holes. I recommend to every I play with.
Your feedback is important to us. Thank you for sharing your 5-star experience. We look forward to seeing you again at the course soon! Thanks for choosing Willow Hill Golf Course.
Great 9 hole challenge.
Short but undulating, errant shots are penalized but not too excessively. No water, but I’m waiting for the pond to go in on #3!
Thank you for visiting us at Willow Hill Golf Course. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.

Fun course slower play
This course like many more difficult courses plays very slow 3 hrs for nine holes other than the slow play it’s a great course

Really nice upgrades, just need work on the sand traps
Hi, thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Willow Hill Golf Course.
Ok…
Course is somewhat under construction. The pace of play is way too slow. I didn’t even finish the course today. I left after waiting almost 15 minutes to tee off at the 6th hole. Playing 5 holes took 1.5 hours. Love the course and the staff is great, , but the pace of play is unacceptable, and to pay 24/28 for 9 holes under those conditions isn’t worth it.
We apologize for the pace of play issue you experienced. We always try to keep a great pace when having our golfers on the course. Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback as we will use your review to better the experience going forward. We hope you give us another try in the near future!
Fabulous 9 hole course!
Thank you for a great course with friendly staff. Much appreciated. Today I even got an unexpected chipped in birdie on hole 3. After golfing, the patio and menu is fabulous. I had the chopped BBQ salad and Scott the chef is amazing. Very grateful to have such a wonderful golf experience with an added bonus of outdoor patio and delicious menu. Highly recommended. Thanks again!! This place has become my weekly place and I travel from downtown Chicago. Much appreciated!!
Thanks for the amazing review and for choosing Willow Hill Golf Course. We hope to see you again soon!
