One of the better public courses for sub 20 handicaps in the tristate
Course is in great shape, the greens are coming in nicely, still a little under pace but not bad. As a scratch golfer I find this to be one of the better tests of my game and decent condition course in the area. Uneven fairway lies, really uneven off fairway lies but a fair course if you're hitting the ball well.
The rough has made gradual progress out of dormancy the past three weeks or so, but it's not penal yet. So the course is playing slightly easier than it does when we get a little warmer in the area.
This is one of the more challenging courses in the area with a lot of shots into uphill and some downhill greens. If you're not a good striker of the ball I would suggest one teebox forward from what you thought you should play. The back is a bear, but a great test of skill for lower handicaps.
Tough course good conditions
Incredibly windy day made for a demoralizing round. Course was in good shape. Greens rolled well. Just an overall tough course.
Poor pace of play
Always have open tee times yet the pace of play is usually 6hrs per 18 on a good day. It makes no sense.
Love the willows
Best public course (back 9 at least) in the Cincinnati area. The back is beautiful and so challenging!
Nice
Great time as always.
Playing in December is awesome
Chilly wet
Went when it was chilly and wet. But even with the amount of rain it was still in good shape. Greens rolled true. Played Sunday morning and finished foursome four hours even
GREAT LAYOUT
The only negative about this round was the weather it was cool and damp. Every thing else was FANTASTIC. Can't expect perfect weather in late October in this part of the country.
Always a good time here
Offers a challenge while also having enough space for small errors. Love the greens, most everyone fixes their divots and scrapes the bunkers. Tends to be crowded but averages 2 hrs per 9 holes. Wish I shot better but that’s on me lol
Overpriced
Used to play this all the time 5-10 years ago while in college and after before moving out of town. First time playing since moving back and the course was in decent shape but cart paths have gotten worse causing some parts of course to get tore up. Price of a round also went up but not to match any upgrades made. Would play it on a hot deal but not $50 for a round.
The Willows
The atmosphere at this course was great. Went on an evening when they had live music. The actual course was a little rougher than some others courses I've played at. I would only recommend if you got a good price.
Nice course, pretty challenging
Nice course, can be challenging at times. Nice conditions when I was there. Probably prefer pioneer (other course on property) but I enjoy this course as well.
Holiday weekend.
Holes on greens were located for tour pros , behind bunkers, on slopes etc. caused slow play & frustration for less skilled players.
