The course was great for all levels of golfers

I like that it offered something for beginners, intermediate & top level golfers. Everyone was super nice, respectful, except one group played loud music. Otherwise it was a great experience. Would definitely go back.

Great layout, poor bunkers

I really like this layout. Fairways and greens in great shape. For the money, they need to improve the bunkers. Inconsistent at best, not enough sand, similar to hitting out of hard-pan surface.

TERRIBLE SANDTRAPS!

I would have given this course 5 stars if not for the dismal conditions of the traps. We also enjoy the challenging layout of Willow Crest but unfortunately Hilton has allowed the sand traps to deteriorate into a mix of mainly dirt with some sand content. Hitting good bunker shots is almost impossible and ruined the day for our group. For $75, we expected much better conditions than what we experienced. In fact, we probably will not play here again until new sand is brought in. Also, there is no GPS on the golf carts; another feature that should be part of a $75 rate course.

Our group also thought that Hilton should offer a free pass into their pool at the end of the round for that day only. They could restrict to M-TH since there were few people in the pool and would create extra revenue via drinks and food that would be ordered poolside! A missed marketing opportunity.

Bunkers need attention

Great course but the bunkers are gravel pits - they really bring the place down. I won't be back until the bunkers are better.

Always fun. Par 70 so don’t let yardage fool you. Over 1/2 holes very challenging. Need a little more attention for price tag. Cart paths, bunkers, ball marks. Overall pretty good conditions. Fun layout. Good staff. Good pace.

Solid

This track is solid. Fairways are nice, definitive cut between rough and fairway, greens roll nice. Everything is pretty straight on the front nine but the back nine offers a nice combination of water, tight fairways, and dog legs.

Not too challenging - Loud

Only negative was that we had a groundskeeper mowing on almost every hole, and they didn't stop for us to shoot. The greens were in really good shape, and the course itself was really fun. Lots of bunkers in play when approaching the greens. But the sand was very easy to hit out of, and kept up very well. A little on the pricier side for a round in the area. I would play the course again, but probably look for a deal to do so.
