Willow Pond Golf Course

Very friendly staff to start. The fairways, rough, and greens are well maintained. Will the head pro is a super nice guy and will help you with anything. Would recommend.

This course is in great condition, the staff is friendly, and the pace of play has been quick! No complaints at all. Will the head pro is a really good guy. Would recommend this course to anyone.

The dandelions make it impossible to find your ball even if it’s 5 yards off the fairway. Makes it far less enjoyable. At least do one pass around the fairway with weed and feed (a couple times , takes one guy one day or less to do all 18 holes and keep it cut………..also, the putting and chipping green gets cut last so if you show up early to chip you will not gain a feel for the greens at all…….

First time golfing there, was worth the 90 minute drive considering the deal that was going on. Everyone, from the workers to other golfers, were extremely pleasant. The course definitely needs some work with dandelion control. The bunkers were not impressive, typical with what I see at many courses in Illinois. Would definitely come here again.

The greens were nice, appropriate muni medium speed and almost no pitch marks. I suspect primarily because of lack of play. The cost of $40 on a weekend sounds good but it isn’t worth it when you factor in the goose poop everywhere, no maintenance in the sand for years (I have played this course since 1988), a starter who cannot tell time and screws up, making the round well over 4 rounds on a three hour course, and finally, no food. Once known for its breaded tenderloin sandwich, now grab a plastic wrapped ham sandwich from the fridge.

It used to be a decent place to go and now it’s a dump. The course is ok but you can do a lot better. Oh, one more thing. I shot my best score of the year when I played, too.

was a lot of tall grass... needed some attention... had to spend a lot of time looking for our balls

Course in great shape. Friendly staff. Great place to play.

The tee blocks could be a lot more flat, and kept up. Sand traps need work. But overall do to the lack of rain, I think it’s a good value.

Strange little course. Not too challenging, but a few nasty surprises on the greens. Strange layout that I actually got lost on because it doesn’t follow a loop and signage is poor. For the money, Brookhill is a better option.

Willow pond let’s fivesome groups. These groups will not let faster groups play through. I had to skip a hole to get around them in order to keep from playing a 6 hour round . The course should crack down on these types of bad etiquette golfers !! Or stop fivesomes

I was surprised the course was as soft as it was considering the lack of rain in the area.

The course was

In g0ood condition pace was good price was good from golfnow
