Needs ALOT of work
Needs a lot of work. Draining is absolutely terrible. Rip a 280 drive and you’ll somehow find yourself in an overgrown patch of fescue with a crap ton of water. So many better options at the same price point. Willow hill still needs a lot of work done to make it worth a trip back.
Find somewhere rkse
Course seemed nice but once you play it you realize all it’s flaws. Random huge water spots from very poor drainage. No rain in weeks. Anything not on the fairway your ball is lost. Mounds of dirt everywhere. Some homes are nice others suck. I’ve played her many times and won’t be coming back until major changes are made.
Spencer, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, however, we’re very sorry to hear your last experience was anything short of 5 stars. While our team can assure you that we work hard to keep the course up to par, we do take this kind of feedback very seriously. We appreciate your patience as we have one hole currently under construction, but we would appreciate the chance to discuss any concerns with you further and share more about our course conditions & improvements. Please reach out to Kent Knebelkamp, Owner, at (847) 480-7888 and we hope we have the chance to welcome you back for a better round in the near future.

Almost 50$ for cart and green fees for a course you can tell us under construction and is under kept
Been to several courses in the area and for the price this is not worth the trouble.

Nice quick golf course
Golf course is in much better shape than two years ago when weeds were growing on the fairways and greens. Kudos to the ground crew. Nice job in getting rid of the weeds. The ground was hard hence, got more distance on my shots. Nice challenging golf course, with 2 par 5 and rolling hills. Good course to play if you only have short time to play.

Fun Course, Great Views, Excellent Time
Overall this is a great and fun 9 hole course! It has a variety of par 3s and par 4s with a couple par 5s. It's situated on top of an old landfill which provides some picturesque views of the surrounding communities (you can even see the Chicago skyline off in the distance).
The pace of play when we went was on the slower side which was fine with my group but I found it a little too slow with waiting on most every hole and a fairly large backup near the end.
Definitely a great value for the money and definitely want to come back and play again!

Standard
I have a personal love for this course. Forgiving to the greens but then tough to score. Still overwatered fairways, staff is great, pace of play not monitored and boy was it painfully slow. I’ll still be back.

Fun nine hole course
Willow hill is always a fun course it never plays the same due to the wind and the links style of the course you have to use your head to play this course

High quality 9-hold course, tough greens
I love this course. Great for a quick 9 at a fair value. It is short, but the greens are challenging. Perfect practice/warmup course for golfers of all skill.
