Love the changes Willow Hill is making!
The course has always been a favorite of ours, despite the “rough and ready” gravel cart paths and the confusing guesswork finding the next hole. The view is priceless in this suburban setting, the wide fairways are long and forgiving, the breezes feel great, and for evening play, you CANNOT beat that view of the sunset. The patio is so nice and it’s great to see the investment in the beautiful clubhouse. Happy to have this course close by.
Nice nine hole course.
Course is in nice shape, and there were no ball marks to repair on the greens. Flag placement can be difficult at times when it's place on a steep slope - hard to get the ball to stop. Groups go off ten minutes apart. We had a firm tee time on a Friday afternoon when the weather was nice, but the cashier started a twosome of new golfers five minutes after the group in front of us teed off. We had to wait ten minutes for them to just get to the green on the first hole, and we asked the starter to continue to move them along, which he did. We had to wait for this twosome a few more times during the round, and this most likely wouldn't have happened if the cashier didn't try to accommodate more golfers than appropriate.

The 4th pin was front and middle. I hit my dive 315 and had 57 left. My 60 degree lob wedge hit perfect spot top left and ran out 35 feet past the hole.
That pin placement is wrong.
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round}! We look forward to seeing you again soon at Willow Hill Golf Course.
Up and coming course
The course is undergoing constant improvements in the clubhouse and on the fairways. Cart paths still need some work. Sloping greens make for added fun. Staff very friendly, and prices are very affordable.

Great golf course!

Love this course!
Where do I start! From the second you walk into the clubhouse you know this is a good one. Brand new remodel and they are still working on some hardscaping. Cannot wait until it’s finished, full bar, open layout with tons of windows and light.
The course feels like you transported to England or Europe in general. I know it’s a Scottish style course and does not disappoint. Greens are well kept and the hills make for a challenge that will keep you coming back for more.
Great view of the city with only a 20 minute drive from the northside of a Chicago. $28 with cart and replay is $15, small bucket to hit before your round will cost you $6. Overall 8.3/10 rating! Will be a 9 when it’s finished! 9 holes only!
Thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Willow Hill Golf Course.
Best course out there
Great view of the skyline from atop the hill and the couple that own the course are super friendly and always working the clubhouse. There is some construction going on but the course is still in great shape and is a great play

Do You have a Greens Keeper?
The design is a nice Tim and Dick Nudent layout. However, that is the only good thing I can think of about this course. The condition is the worst anywhere . I understand it is late March, but the field behind my house is in better shape. The greens are slow, littered with debris and still has holes from the aeration done in the fall. The tees and fairways are sparse and has weeds. The bunkers have not even been touched like the never maintain them with sand or even rake them. I began to wonder dose the course even have a Greens Keeper Crew maintaining the place? I played on a Tuesday and never saw 1 Greens Keeping Crew member or piece of equipment maintaining anything. Do not recommend until they put some money into maintaining the course instead of expanding the patio or putting in brick cart paths by the club house. Glenview Prairie Club is in the Glen across the street and is a nice all Bent Grass Facility and that is always nicely maintained and for same or less green fees.
Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. Your feedback about the course is important to us. We are working to get everything up to par. We have projects ongoing to recover the fairways and greens. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We are going to escalate your feedback to our team so we can make improvements before your next game, and we will continue to work towards an excellent experience by using your comment for guidance. Thank you for playing Willow Hill Golf Course. We hope to see you again soon.
