Willow Crest
Course in good shape considering the weather
Only bad parts sand traps very hard
Greens to many people not fixing ball marks
This was a shame, heard this course was great in its heyday.. it’s a resort course we get on the first tee box the starter says “there’s some standing water in the bunkers” so I’m thinking ok a little bit of water in a few bunkers... every bunker was literally flooded, so every time you hit a bunker you lose your ball. Just absolutely frustrating, I mean green side bunker and you lose a ball, that’s a joke on a golf course. Not to mention tee boxes were all jacked up with divots, greens had craters from jerks not fixing their plugs, it was bad. Then it’s hot as can be and I had to call the clubhouse to send the cart girl to use on the 8th hole, just ridiculous. Other than that staff was nice but that doesn’t justify $76 or make up for how bad of shape tees & greens were.. heard they’re going under blah blah it’s a shame when courses are this bad when you go out to play some competitive golf with a buddy.
Course Review from BigShooter
Very disappointed on how all the bunkers lacked sufficient sand in them. Most were very muddy and unplayable if your ball were to land in them. Pace of play was somewhat slow but not too bad. Tee boxes were a bit worn down.
Why do I keep playing this place?
This course is what you get when you combine a championship layout with no maintenance and lousy clientele. The bunkers are an important part of the layout, and they are all hard pan dirt. Greens are trashed because the weekend resort morons playing 5-6 hours rounds don't fix their pitch marks. Tucked pin locations on busy Saturdays make no sense when I have to short side out of dirt bunkers. All for the low low price of $80!
Pay the few dollars more and play seven bridges or preserves. Or save $30 and play at plenty of courses that are at least somewhat maintained..
Great staff, nice layout, terrible bunkers
Overall a nice course, friendly staff and good value. But there were some glaring maintenance deficiencies including bunkers that were hard as concrete.
Slow Burn
Course ownership has seemingly changed hands a few times over the years, and each year the overall course upkeep seems to decline. I like the course layout, so I play the course at least once a year with the hope that it’ll be better. Disappointed to see the greens aren’t in good shape (divots are out of control) and bunkers are pathetic (no sand). It’s like watching a decent track endure a slow burn. I hope they turn it around soon.
Agree with others overpriced for the level of course neglect
$80 for a round where the bunkers have no sand or a weed concrete med mix is unacceptable
Course itself is OK ... some long par 4s make it harder
Staff were friendly the pre pay booking is poor their end so we were late off while they sorted it and the group behind made a point of being up our rears for 5 holes
Resort Course, But Challenging
This golf course may not be super long in total distance, but tight fairways, plentiful sand bunkers, and fast pace greens makes this course fun, yet very challenging.
I paid $80 for a Saturday 7:00 am tee time. $60-$65 would have been more appropriate. The course overall was in poor condition. For being as dry as it has been, the course was actually over-watered. The greens and fairways were chewed up and some tee boxes were hardly playable.

I generally like this course but the traps are unplayable. Every last one of them. Should discount the round if they don't maintain the course.
Poor bunkers
For the cost of the course I would expect them to take better care of the bunkers. Everything else was pretty good. But the sand needs major attention.
