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.

Tight but varied

Good variety of golf holes on a tight piece of land. Well conditioned with good greens.

Great little course

First time playing Willow Crest. Pleasantly surprised to see the difference in elevation and from the tips 6400+ yards par 70 provided a great challenge. Nice to see a course that’s fair, and penal when you stray off the tee. 5 OB off the tee today but still scratch out an 85. Definitely will be back with friends… probably won’t walk it next time.

Not worth the money first and last time playing.

Not worth the money first and last time playing. It takes a lot for me to be disappointed in a course. For starters the sand traps were as though they are concrete. They are very stiff and I hurt my wrist digging my wedges for my shot. The overall golf layout it was not the best, and the pace of play was terrible. They wedged and whoever they could put. We spent almost 3 hours on the front nine. I ended up leaving a few holes earlier because I could not tolerate the scores. If I could I would demand a refund.

Standing water in most bunkers - 4h 45min round

Green’s were well-maintained, friendly staff.

Rate of play was miserable. Stood on every box. Likely will not come back because of this.

First Time Playing

Fun track. Started off as a hot, humid day. The fairways were hard along with rough but after a drenching rain on 11 (we stopped playing for about 30 mins to let the storm pass) the fairways needed the water & they came back beautifully. The one thing I noticed is that not many people that play this course repair their ball marks on the green. My buddies & I were repairing what we could when we got onto the greens but they are in need of some TLC. That being said, I would definitely play this track again
