Willow Springs Golf Course

The Course was fine definitely love the par 3’s there gives me a change from Carroll park and I love the challenge it gives but the greens has patches and not smooth when putting that’s my only complaints

Fairways and sand traps are good. The rough is just swampland. I was able to play 18 holes in 2.5 hours. The greens are below average.

Super fun little course, you can’t beat the price.

I have been here a few times over the past three years. Believe the course has turned the corner to recovery after years of lean times. Course amenities and management are trending in the right direction.

Early tee time. Started right on time. There was a 4some in front of us who was moving at a little slower pace. The weather was great but hot. We used the range beforehand and the range was much better than expected. The course is short, more like a par3 course. Rough is deep. Greens were long and could have used a cut and were slow due to that. Some areas of the green had longer clovers coming out and some dirt spots. So the course could have been taken care of a little better, but the layout made for a fun course, especially for the price. The cart girls came around with beverages 3x during the round and were very respectful and friendly.

It was a really nice course to play at for a good rate.

Greens were very splotchy. Fairway was like rough. Tee boxes were just ok. I enjoyed my day but the course could have been in better shape for sure.

Too many par 3s and can’t tell the difference between the rough and the fairway on a few holes

I’ve been playing here for nearly 10 years. I used to really look forward to playing here to work on shots and have a nice walk. This course is an executive in my opinion, but how/why are they charging premium rates to play here?!? I know they’ve fallen on hard time with fires and mgnt changes but...I used to play here on weekdays for around $25-$28. It’s a shame because the par 3s are very challenging and fun. Hopefully they are getting the business they need but for these prices I simply can play just about anywhere around Baltimore and play a full size course.

We have seen this course driving by for many years and finally got the chance to play it. Bad decision. The tee boxes are awful. The fairways are nonexistent and the greens are fair. The front nine are very difficult. Especially since their mower seems to be broken. I have to say that the friendliness of the staff and well equipped clubhouse were the only things that made the day enjoyable.

The course is in terrible shape. We will NOT return.

Don’t waste your time or money at this course. The course is in deplorable condition. I don’t think they have any running mowers. Just awful.

I have golfed at Willow Springs on a periodic basis over the last 10 years to work on my irons. The course was once well kept, the greens manicured, and the sand traps immaculate. I went yesterday for the first time this year and was appalled by the conditions.

Despite no appreciable rain in the past few months, the fairways were over grown, the traps eroded, and the greens spotted and bumpy. I also learned that the owner is trying to sell the property so hasn't invested in basic maintenance. This includes not overseeing last fall. It hurts my heart that this once beautiful course is totally unplayable.

This was a great place to take my 13 year old son who doesn't take golf very seriously. We had a lot of fun and were done in 3 hrs. It's a short course and wide enough to avoid losing a lot of balls. The layout is great and conditions were very good. The carts and paths are rough but it is priced accordingly.

I don't know where to begin with this golf course, there was so much wrong with the course. I guess I will start with the tees which really weren't there. The tees were pretty much the same length as the rough but more bare. The fairway was non-existent, the course was completely rough. I didn't think there would even be a course that wouldn't cut the fairway have it the same length as the rough. I still can't get over this. Also the fairway was quite bare. There was really no fringe or anything around the green, it was just rough then green. The greens were quite bad but they were sadly the best part of the course. There were ball marks galore on the green and the aeration job was awful. The greens also had cracks and dry/dead spots on about 1/3 of the greens. Also when they cut the green they managed to leave behind the remnants of it such as grass clippings from the mower. Lastly on the course conditions in the bunkers. The bunkers were as I expected, not raked. however at least they weren't packed down and rock hard so if you wanted you could rake it and place to get a reasonable lie. Now the layout, the layout in my opinion was awful. If you are going to be making an executive style course such as this you really shouldn't be having many forced carries. basically through hole 11 most hole required some sort of carry or trouble that is fairly easy to get into. The reason for this is because this course is and executive course and it targeted for beginners who more than likely don't have the swing to consistently get it over trouble. So by forcing people to carry trouble it makes it a lot less enjoyable to play since you will be loosing so many balls. design wise I would say the first 12 holes were not very good and the last 6 were pretty decent design wise. So overall this is the worst course I have ever played and I have played some awful courses. I would not recommend this course even for the $10 hot deal I have seen on golfnow. I will never go back and I recommend you never go at all.

Fun family friendly course. Short holes with a TON of character. Conditions were rough in some places and ball marks on the greens aren't fixed by many golfers. Through these issues, it's still my favorite "executive" style course I've ever played.
