Improving conditions

The course is headed in the right direction. Cart paths still need some work. Looks like they removed quite a few trees that opens things up. Rough was very penal and you really had to hack it out. Greens were in really good shape.

Rough Ride

Overall experience was good, but riding in a cart was rough. The cart paths are in dire need of repair. Knowing this is expensive to do, it would make a great improvement. Some of the rough around the greens seemed very thick and hard to play.

Course in great shape

The course was in really good shape. They have taken down a lot of necessary trees. The fairways and greens were also in great shape. Cart paths need some love but I’m sure it’s on the list.

Willows

Willows is hillier than most courses, so there aren’t a lot of flat lies. But the course is in good shape, especially the greens. They were perfectly smooth, and faster than average. It’s obvious they’ve put a lot of effort into the course. I will definitely be back.

Nice course

Nice course, well maintained, located on the same property as The Pioneer. I liked The Willows better in terms of layout and views. Will play again

Challenging course

Great course. .Greens were fast, needed a little repair, but it is early in the season. Fairways were in great shape, friendly staff and great burgers! The only downside with the course is the cart path. It was in need of repair throughout the 18 holes.

Great course

I played well the first time playing here. I’m not a pro but I shot my best of 89 in this course while I was walking. If you want a good exercise and nice views from tee box this is the course

Course Conditions

This course was in great shape for being mid-late January and also having many trees removed a bug issue. The greens had been recently sanded and were a touch slow, but all in all in great shape. I cannot wait to come back and play this again later this spring. This will be a BEAST!

flags

course was in great shape. today the flags were in the wrong place according to the colors. you had blue flags up front and when youre way out you figure that in to your club selection. not that it matters too much because i suck and i still have a great time no matter the score. Dave is doing a great job with the course.
