On green of 5th hole of Willow Crest Photo submitted by u642535502 on 09/08/2020
Interesting Course - Sand not maintained
On the 18th Hole, a ball hit the middle of the sand and bounced right out onto the green. They are not keeping the sand maintained.
Former superintendents point of view
This is a well designed well maintained course. Challenging for all levels of golfer. Bring a collared shirt.
Willow Crest at Oak Brook Hills
Holiday 18, early tee time worked out perfectly for today's round. 1st time playing the course despite the proximity to the house. I was surprised at the nice clubhouse and access to the place despite being connected to the hotel. Maybe it was low occupancy but we were on early and no one really pushing us or slowing us down. They have nets to warm up your driver, longer clubs and a nice practice green as well. I would definitely come back if they had specials. High $70s for a round is a bit much but course was in excellent condition and fair considering the set up. 6 different pin positions and only a few were unfair on our round. Ill be back.
Good condition
Price is high for area, there are better values in the area. Will only play on special.
Willow Crest
I've played this course many times. It's a good course but way over priced.
I was a single that booked on golf now. They made me play behind a very slow foursome when they easily could have had me play in front of them behind a two some.
They need a good starter and someone to speed up play.
If the course is empty this is not a problem. When it has players, the course is not worth it.
Golf Resort in the City
With 4 tee boxes to choose from you can select your own challenge. We used white and had a wonderful twilight outing.
I have stayed in this hotel for a weekend to attend a function when I wasn't playing golf yet. So to puzzle and add together both experiences, I must say this is a classy golf resort. Their golf staff are friendly and courteous right from the start of your golfing experience. They make sure your cart is clean, complete and ready.
Last fall was my 1st time to play here when there was obviously lots of leaves in the course and you could easily loose your ball. This time I was impressed with how clean the course was maintained. But I would suggest to management to warn golfers who leave their cigars and cigarette butts on the greens. They easily destroy the atmosphere.
Some of the greens are tricky depending on where they put the flag that day.
If you plan to have a golf weekend getaway without going way out of town, this is the resort.
Great resort course!
Had a great round of golf for a great price. Once we played through two foursomes, who were extremely slow, we were able to complete our round in about 3 hours. There are a few challenges but overall a great course to play for an average golfer. Very well maintained course.
Pu this on your list of courses to play
Has some challenging holes. As with all courses, there are some that are not great, but overall, a tough and fun place to play. Always in good shape, other than the traps, which are full of pebbles and dirt. No sand to speak of. Still, would recommend this course.
Not bad
Gave my tee time to someone right in front of me---a group of 3 walk ups who I was told were "members" so it was okay to let them take my tee time. Odd bit not a huge deal. Only had to wait for them a couple times. Course isn't what it used to be but its still decent. Lots of areas where carts have ruined the grass. An easy fix with stake but they don't do it. At regular price it's too expensive. We got a hot deal at $40 and that's right where it should be.
Love the par 3's
Usually picky about courses not playing at 72, but I decided to play it on a Wednesday morning due to open tee times. Great staff, great pace (again it was a Wednesday morning), and some awesome looking scenes! The par 3's were awesome with some diabolical pin placements. Would definitely play here again!
Great golf course for every golfer
The course lay out is not bad, you have some elevations on some holes which you must select enough club to get to the green or you will come up short. Windy conditions and hard sand in the bunkers made it difficult to play your ball out of the bunker and navigate yourself around the course given blustery weather conditions. But who's complaining after all this is November and I'm still playing golf in Chicago!
Play like a champ
Great facility. Like to play here every year I play about 55 different courses every year
Nice course
A very well maintained course, and challenging for intermediate players! The staff are super friendly.
nice course
Enjoyed the day. Good course in good conditions. Super friendly staff
great way to enjoy a beautiful day
great course, very friendly staff. will try to play course again before year is over.
Nice day off.
Used golf now "hot deal" for a day off golfing trip. Great course attached to resort. Only negatives: No true driving range (though they have mats and nets) that is paired up with potentially $$ hooks/slices off of 1st and 2nd tees with houses close on the left.
Great rates for twilight
Course is in great shape. Not terribly challenging
willow crest golf course
The course was very nice, very well kept up! Employees were very nice, except the young kid in the pro shop. My wife and i were in there looking around for 10 mins and we were the only ones in there and he never said hi or can I help you or anything.
greens
Every green had consistent speed, nicely maintained.
nice track
Very Fun! Enough chalenges to make it interesting and playable.
