On green of 5th hole of Willow Crest Photo submitted by u642535502 on 09/08/2020
Nice course live the greens but terrible sand traps alot of thin gravel not so much sand
Fun day!
Tee Box
Tee boxes contained many divots. On several holes, the tee box markers were placed on a slight angle leaving the ball slightly under (right side of tee box) or above your feet (left side of tee box. The width of some tee boxes was very narrow.
The rest of the course was in great shape, greens and traps especially.
Early Season but Good Conditions
Great course--challenging. Course in good shape although greens were a bit slow due to rain and maybe not being cut recently.
Early Round
Course was in decent shape but soggy after much rain. It is a great layout with some really challenging holes. Course was empty and we finished round in 3 hours. Service was good.
Look forward to playing next year.
The course was in excellent shape considering the rain the previous two days.l Little or no leaves, ruff not too high and the sand traps had plenty of good sand. The par 5’s are long as well as many of the par 4’s. Thoroughly enjoy our round.l
Nice course, fun holes!
Very nice course, starter was outstanding. Helped me get my round off to a good start.
Underated Gem
This course has long been a hidden gem. Aeration was in evidence and not a significant consequence save for a couple of overly sanded tees. Limited acreage has actually produced a superb design with wonderfully challenging par fives and a diverse offering of six spectacular par threes. My only wish is that it was a bit more affordable for this aging Scotsman. The staff is one of the best, likely shepherded by the long standing host pro Randy Bolstad, as good as they come.
Tight layout
This is a good course when you get the right price. Conditions were good but they had aerated the day before and GolfNow let that be known.
Awfully awful
Make sure your daughter doesn’t get sick the morning of your round and have to cancel a tee time. You’re on the hook, and they don’t care as long as they get their $$$. Truly the worst experience and golf course in the Chicagoland area. Very unprofessional, and the pace of play is terrible. Maybe they should take that $$$ and hire a ranger to speed up the pace of play. Just an idea.
Willow Crest
Perfect day for golfing. Weather was great and the staff (Dawn) was even better.
