Wallinwood Springs Golf Club
About
Wallinwood Springs Golf Club is bordered by the scenic Grand River on its eastern side. The challenging layout boasts an island green, an island tee, and a peninsula fairway. The golf course has two distinctly different nines, beginning with an open Scottish-links layout before moving onto the back nine, which is enclosed by mature trees. Wind definitely plays a role on the front nine and on the backside of the course there is a 26-acre, man-made lake, where if you're not careful you'll be met with a watery grave on five holes. Extensive mounding is paired with 30 strategically placed sand traps to provide even more challenges. The most difficult hole on the golf course is the par-4 16th, which stretches to more than 400 yards. Golfers will need a long, straight drive from the island tee in order to avoid the water on both sides of the fairway.

Slo motion
Ranger a waste of money. Did not speed up play. Weed traps vs sand. Red stake s down
good course but
Good course but they have a geese problem. At one point I had to pick my ball up from what the geese left on the ground. Not sure what the cours ecan do but it would be a great improvement to the course if they could chase them away
pretty tough for the average golfer
I lost 10 balls - most of them on the back where there are a ton of trees and plenty of water. good course though. :-)
Difficult course
Do not show up late to your tee time when using a golfnow tee time. I called ahead to let them know I'd be a few minutes that due to travel and the owner/manager ES very hostile. I thought I was doing the right thing by letting them know I'd be a few minutes late with my nephew and they almost didn't accommodate us. There was a slight misunderstanding due to a different late tee time, who was also using golfnow. In the end, show up on time
Nothing to write home about.
Course was in fair condition. Everything was nice and green but fairway grass is longer than expected and the greens were pretty slow. Probably only rolling to about 7-8 on the stimpmeter. If you had a 10 ft putt you had to hit to go 13 ft just to get to the hole. The holes with ponds on them all have geese all over the place making it likely that you will be either walking in goose droppings or hitting your ball from it. Not very enjoyable to see or to smell!! The bunkers are filled with dirt and gravel with no sand found anywhere. If you dont care about your clubs you can try and play out of them otherwise take a drop outside the bunkers. The course also has gas golf carts that are noisey and need to be replaced with electric. About 12 yrs ago this was a beautiful course and could be again but the current owners either dont have the money needed to bring it back or just dont care to. Its a great layout playing along the Grand River and through and around quite a few gravel pit ponds making for a scenic course. Its just that the overall condition of the course is hurting. It feels more like a city owned course and not the great course it once was.
Very interesting courses
One of my favorites. Front and back so different. A bit of everything.
Great shape on greens and fairways
Course is in great shape on the fairways and greens. Ruff starting to dry out and get hard. Back nine has recovered nicely from last years flooding. Staff was very friendly . Hope they put the water to the course the next two weeks so it stays in its great shape for upcoming outing.
Sloooow play
Slow play, didn't pair smaller groups together but good greens
Good course awful desk attendant
The course is great and was in good condition but the service at the desk was awful. It was a girl that was working and when I walked in, it wasn't until I was standing at the desk for several seconds before she looked up from her cell phone to help me. Zero smile or politeness. Then at the turn I went back in to get a water and no one was there. I stood there for maybe 2 minutes before I walked back out and continued with no water.
Could be so much more
When our tee time came up? It was storming and the course was going to be pretty wet. We asked if there was a way we could push it back for a couple hours so not to tear up the course and to not have to play in that hard of rain. The tee time book was completely empty but the worker still gave me a hard time because we booked a hot deal. Had it not been raining and storming we would have played in the morning actually preffered to play in the morning. Once we got on the course the greens had lots if ant hills on them, and some tee boxes were pretty bad shape. The fairways were decent but some spots were very littered with weeds. Rough some thing lots of weeds. Also there is no course layout maps to show where holes really are. The signs up do not give an accurate account of where the green actually is. I would say this course could be great but the way it sits is just ok....
Course is in terrible shape
I've been playing this course since high school and have also done their flex membership for a few years. That being said since new ownership took over a few years ago this course has gone really far downhill. The greens are in terrible shape, bumpy and shaggy. Maintenance is seriously lacking all over the course. Staff in the golf shop also not accommodating or friendly at all. I won't be playing here anymore.
Dangerous Sand Traps
As long as you can stay in the grass you should be fine, course was in good shape and fairly challenging but there were rocks bigger than golf balls in most of the sand traps.
Nice layout... needs a lot of TLC
I havre played this course for years and actually played it the first year it was opened. Sad to see a really nice golf course go downhill like this one has over the years.
The weather this year has definitely helped this courses conditions, but there are so many things that could be done to improve that wouldn't cost anything other than the labor to fix (trimming up overgrown trees and bushes would certainly help this course). There were several cartpaths that were so overgrown that you had to get swiped by branches to get thru).
This course has several beautiful lakes/ponds, but you can't even see them due to the overgrowth (would be a fantastic improvement if management would clean this up).
Have always liked this courses layout and it's an easy drive for me. Won't pay full price for this course unless they start giving it a little TLC (shutters missing on the cluhouse gives it a less than pristine look and the missing light pole in the parking lot has been that way for years).
Golf outing in the way
My tee time was in the middle of a golf outing/scramble
I waited on every hole
If I was warned, I would have gone rlsewhere
Challenging & fair
Forgot about a few of the fairways, which were either narrow or well-guarded (or both).
Greens rolled true,speed was what was expected.
A few greens were burned in spots - someone mowed too aggressively.
Sprinklers
Although I shot my second best round there, the course was still in "okay" condition. The sprinklers were on when we tee'd off at 9:30am and continued to stay on throughout the round. I got soaked a couple times cause my ball was near a sprinkler. The only way I come back is through a golfnow reservation..original prices are way overpriced for the quality of the course. I paid $13 for 18 with cart so that's a fair price for the quality.
Overall pretty good
The course is in relatively good condition, the back nine is really nice in that it follows the banks for the Grand River. Suggestion for improvement may be to space tee times more. Our round took 5.5 hrs due to being hung up waiting for groups ahead of us to clear.
A Tale of Two Nines
I think the course should have been in better condition. Some of the conditions on the back 9 are out of management's control due to flooding. However, the greens were shaggy and too slow for good putting. Also, the rough and bunker areas had A LOT of dandelions and other weeds. I expected better.
The front nine is pretty forgiving and fairly easy to score well on. The back 9 is very tough with numerous water hazards. If conditions improve I would recommend the course, otherwise there are plenty of other good options in the area.
