Willow Crest Golf Club

Par 70 with 6 par 3s but you don't even notice. All are very challenging. Par 4s and 5s are long. Fairways and greens in excellent condition.

I BELONG TO A C.C. AND THIS WAS EVERY BIT AS NICE A COURSE. Well kept, nice greens and playable course. I was really surprised a public course was this great.

We played on a Wednesday afternoon in 3:15 hours for a twosome, so pace of play was amazing. Very well conditioned, tee boxes, fairways, greens, everything. Bunkers were a little inconsistent but fine. I really enjoyed the layout as well, which had a little of everything. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. I would definitely play again and recommend to anyone.

Beautiful and fun course. Plenty of trees and water to test all levels.

Only one issue, the ball cleaners smelled like manure so bring alternative ball washing

Nice collection of longer par 5s and challenging par 3s. Bunkers could use some work but otherwise good early season condition.

Well maintained. Classy people on the course playing

It was almost off-season and windy, but high skies and nice. Some holes are long; most are tricky. Nice test. Not what I would call a resort course.

We had a 4some two groups in front of us that had very little business playing on a weekend during prime time-one took 4 practice swings on every shot & then went to hit the ball with a swing that looked nothing like his practice one-hit the ball about 70 yrds-another player studied his phone on every shot-Ranger talked to them & they seemed to slow down more-Very Disappointing

There is a lot to like about this course -- tee boxes, fairways, and greens are all in good shape. The staff is friendly and professional. It is a fairly typical "resort" course that can be played by all levels of golfers.

There were two problems with our round. First, it was "cart path only" due to rain two days earlier. The problem with this is that on many holes, paths only exist on one side of the fairway slowing pace. Moreover, some of the paths lead directly into the line of subsequent drives (e.g., holes 10 to 11) adding an element of danger which is already present due to the general wayward shots hit by majority of golfers. Both my son and I were nearly hit (ball coming within 10 feet of where we were standing or riding). The course needs to add paths on both sides of fairways.

Second, the pace of play was abysmal. Over 5 1/2 hours to play 18 holes on a weekday. The course should consider adding additional tees and strongly encouraging golfers to play at appropriate tee boxes. The group of seniors ahead of us played from back tees and none of them could carry drives beyond 190 yards. I know this for a fact because we watched every single drive all of them hit due to slow pace. On a longer par 3 on the back 9, all hit driver off the tee and none reached the green. Seriously. Faster pace means better scores, happier golfers and more rounds of golf--everyone wins. Right now, everyone waits.

Very nice course. I enjoy playing

I play this course very often and am on the ladies league. My husband and son come out with me on the weekends or whenever we can get it in. We Love it! Quite challenging, fun and in excellent shape...(except for the sand traps, but that will come) It feels like a Country Club atmosphere. Staff goes out of their way to make you feel comfortable. Randy is fantastic! I couldn't be happier playing here! Never get tired of it! I'll love it even more if I can ever master the 6 par 3's!! Really challenging! Maybe not for the beginners. It could be hard on you. Really good for walkers, too!

When i First arrived staff was friendly and helpful load up my bag why I checked in.

After check in I talked to the starter for a few and got a run thru of the course. which basically came down to don't go left and stay in the fairway. LOL, yep thanks

Course was interesting nice layout from hole to hole used the nice elevation changes thru out the course. Not many courses have that in chicagoland. Greens ran true and smooth.

Pace of play was normal for a resort course on a holiday weekend ,Sloowish

They need a better sign to point to the 10th hole .

Had food and drink after and was tasty and not unreasonably priced.

enjoyed my day

For a par 70 this track presents quite a few challenges. The rough is extremely unforgiving and and the grade of the course makes 4-5 tee shots blind due to the incline. It played a bit soggy but other than that would absolutely recommend it!

First time played here. Will come back.
