Willow Springs Golf Course

This is a good course to get practice in with your irons. Only a handful of par 4's but mostly par 3's. It's a fun, fast course with a friendly staff. Would definitely recommend.

I don’t know if it was just a timing thing but the fairway grass was really long and needs cut bad!!

Decent value for the $$, but attention to detail lacking. Several greens have ant hills and fairway grass is long. Wasn’t thrilled that the starter kept sending everyone off 10, which severely clogged the back 9. A good course to practice iron/short game in 2-2.5 hrs if you can keep moving.

Based on the cost, it is hard to beat this course.

Never in my life have a played at tee boxes with grass up higher than the tallest part of my tee. Losing balls that are in the middle of the fairway. This is the first time I was considering leaving by the third hole. Not somewhere I’ll return to. Cool staff but if the grass is super long, just let us know before we pay.

Fir the price, it is a nice course. The staff could do a better job of preparing the greens each day. My last two outings, I found numerous ant hills on the greens and small dirt piles( worms maybe).

Many Par 3s and Par 4s , great chance to work on your short game, greens and fairways were in excellent shape; staff, very friendly, carts exceptionally clean, and have GPS for the course to assist with distance, great experience all around!

This was my first time playing this course and I was a bit disappointed. We paid a decent amount to play 9 holes only. When ready to tee off they start all groups on the 10th hole, and there were 4 groups in line waiting. There was no one on the 1st and 2nd hole and no one currently making the turn. We asked several times if we could go off on 1 since we were a twosome and only playing 9 holes and wouldn't hold anyone up at the turn. We were told no several times and therefore for all 9 holes we sat waiting for 5-10 minutes to tee off. This seemed very unreasonable that we couldn't play the front 9. Also, there were about 5 par 3's on the back 9, and zero par 5's so that was also a disappointment. The one silver lining was the MOD when we finished; I think it was Eric. He chatted us up, told us all about a new women's league and was super friendly. All in all, I wouldn't choose to play 9 holes here for the cost, but might be willing to give 18 a shot another time.

This is a great course to practice your irons on, however there seems to be a lot of confusion when it comes to sending people off onto the course. No one playing seemed to care about the people behind them - there were multiple instances where the people in front of us were just taking way too long to find their own balls, and really created a back up behind us. The fairways are pretty decent and the greens are okay at best. Fun course, just poor course management.

I have played this course many times of the years and let me just start off by saying that most of the staff are really trying to make the course better. Scott the head pro, has hired 2 assistants that are making numerous improvements around the pro shop, and are doing a wonderful job. I have noticed that a lot of the staff have been replaced and it was for the better, they have all been extremely accommodating and professional with me. The pro shop just a few years ago was outdated, and had almost no inventory. Now it feels like a real golf shop with prices so fair that I am happy to buy from there rather than any big box store. Sadly though I wish that I could write a review that was all positive, but there are negatives with this place. I played yesterday on Memorial Day and for some reason the course is still cart path only, when I asked indoors about it I was told that’s what the superintendent has told us our policy is and we have no idea when it will not be Cart path only. I play golf often at many different courses around the area and this is the only course that is still cart path only. I have difficulty understanding why other courses that are not executive courses that are in much better shape allow carts off the path but for some reason the superintendent here feels as though that would hurt something. Even worse than the cart path only though is the condition of the grass and greens. The grass is so thick around here that it literally feels as if you are playing in the U.S. Open at Bethpage Black. You can’t find your ball, and as a mid handicapper it’s almost impossible to hit your balls out of it, Also with the cart path only it just slows down the pace of play even more because of how hard it is to find your ball in the rough. The tee boxes are cut so high that even with a 3 inch tee it’s not high enough to tee up above the grass. Im not sure if maybe the grounds crew was on vacation and maybe that’s why the grass was so high but if that’s the condition they normally have it then quite frankly the superintendent should be ashamed. The greens are not in good shape, long grass, unrepaired divots, dead spots, and poorly cut cups. This course has so much potential and like I said the new management in the pro shop is trying extremely hard and doing a great job. The only thing holding this course back in my opinion is the condition of the course.
