Need some maintenance areas
Ball marks and tee boxes getting in rough shape.
No divot sand on par threes.
Terrible
3.5 hours to play front 9. Zero pace of play expectations and no enforcement or rangers doing their jobs. Made the turn and left after hole 13. Would have been over 6 hours to play a round here. For $50 and an average course with below to average conditions, this was absolutely not worth the money. I would not recommend unless you want to wait 15-20 minutes for every shot.
Killer cart paths.
Pot hole here and there fine, but they are everywhere. Huge pot holes, no excuse for that.
Good public coirse
Challenging public course. Back 9 of Willow was great!
Front 9 was good.
I really enjoyed the course and would recommend.
Traps were new sand. Thankfully I didn’t experience them today.
Its not worth the money. There is no up keep on course. Fairways and greens are well below average. I wont be back
No beverage carts
This time of year it’s very hot. There are no water through out the course. To protect golfers from dehydration water should be available.
Needs some care, but a good track!
The course itself it a nice course; I am pretty sure that the only flat spots were in the parking lot and that is a good thing! The greens were fast and the fairways were hard, so getting extra out of clubs was easy. The only drawback here was the cart paths; needs work! Considering some of the courses that I have been to, way off of the beatin path, this course was well worth the trip from the Dayton area; I will be playing this one again!
Thank you for the review and feedback! We are always striving to improve the experience for our guests. It is in our capital improvements to begin working on the cart paths this year! We hope to earn your business again soon and get an opportunity for you to enjoy some of the cart path renovations! -KC Team
Thank you for the great 4 star review! We look forward to earning your business again soon! -Team KC
Willows
Challenging course in decent shape still. Pace of play continues to be slow.
Difficult
If You are a 14 and higher handicap not a course you want to play rough is to high you have to stay in fairway for amateurs very difficult not fun playing for the layout just like I said not fun I am. 7 handicap and I didn't like it at all shot way above my handicap
Nice course and lay out
Enjoyed the course and the staff were very helpful. Challenging from the whites and the blue tees were not available. Pace of play was excellent. Would recommend.
Thank you for the 4 star review! We appreciate the nice compliments and hope to earn your business again!- KC Team
Great rate for a nice layout
Been over 10 years since I played Willows. Some of the best Challenging holes in NKY. Glad to get out during COVID19 Stay at Home orders! Keep it in the short grass and play the correct tees and you will enjoy The Willows.
Thank you for the nice review and compliments on the course. We were glad to see during the COVID19 times. We hope to see you up here again.- KC team
Willows has gone downhill
Willows has been overplayed and is in awful shape. Pay the extra money to play Lassing Pointe.
Good course.
Good time. But staff are sticklers. Booked through golfnow. Played the same course the day before so asked to play a different one of the three available. But wouldn’t allow it. And golfnow doesn’t make it possible to request a course. Just something to be aware of.
