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.

Back nine is brutal
Front nine is beautiful! We loved the course for the first 9 holes! When we got to 10 the “green” was basically sandy rocks not sure how you mess that up. 11 the rough was better taken care of than the fairway, fairway was spotty with mucky patches. Cup placement was difficult on the back nine for the most part being close to the fringe at points.
Course conditions
Well kept. Back 9 has some rough flood damaged areas but otherwise nice.

Long and not maintained
All bunkers were a joke, cheap sand and not enough of it all filled with water. One green was dirt literally and the next fairway had a few patches of crabgrass in a dirt desert. Cups were in the same position for weeks it seemed because lips were beat up on every hole. 18 took over five hour because they packed us on and the course is very long for conditions. Hopefully they start taking care of this beautiful land before people like me play it and never return.

Bargain golf
Picked Wallingwood Springs in a last minute decision to play on the holiday weekend. Good price on Golf Now, but I still question the decision. Course has taken quite a hit with extremely wet spring and now hot summer. Back nine was not worth the play.
Would have been nice to have staff suggest playing front twice due to poor conditions on back.

Needs maintenance
After going around two fivesomes pace was good for our foursome. The course has been deteriorating for the past few years. The course has a great layout that isn't maintained with trees blocking the use of at least one of the back tees and the greens were bad with one having no grass. Even for the price I paid it is becoming not worth it to play there.

Worth it - easily
Very nice course and prices are great. Course in good shape.
Goid round
Nice course… Nice price. The front nine is very open and forgiving but enjoyably laid out. The back nine definitely presents challenges, with a lot of water and tight fairways . Overall a great course and close to home which is a plus. We would definitely play here again.
Overall rating
Course is in beautiful shape. Incredible drainage for being build on several lakes and along side the river. Course, food and beverage prices are spot on or even under what you would expect.
Course declines every year
I’ve played this course off & in for over 25 years. It breaks my heart to see this course, the clubhouse & the staff friendliness decline year after year.
I only paid $25 via GolfNow, but even that was too much to pay for this course. Was once a great track, with great conditioning. Nowadays, I refuse to even hit a shot out of their bunkers for fear of ruining a club on the MANY very large rocks in the sand. The growth around the lakes takes away from the beauty of these holes, so don’t understand why they don’t take the time to clean up the brush.
If this course was brought back up to a decent standard, I wouldn’t mind paying $30-$40. They’re letting dollars slip through their fingers by letting this course decline year after year. Back in the day, I played this course at least 10 times a year. I now play once every 2-3 years when I can’t find a tee time anywhere nearby.
Do not recommend this course.

Bring your shot making
At 6300 yards from the whites you better hit it long and straight. A couple easy holes and a lot of challenging ones. They are all fair but hazards lurk at most every turn. Considering the weather has sucked your ball still got a little bounce and roll. A few of the greens have dead fungus spots. The owner is friendly and helpful the other pro behind the counter never looked up when I walked in and cut through the pro shop to hit the bathroom. Fun challenging course, if you get to thinking your good come out and get humbled.
Well kept
Played the course, and even after an all night rain, the course was in good shape. Back nine had some standing water, but otherwise pleasantly surprised at how well the fairways drained and held up.
Continues to disappoint
Haven’t played here in years... and now I know why. Back in the day, my buddies and I loved to play here. The course (& clubhouse) decline every year. The bunkers are some of the worst I’ve ever played (LOTS of rocks... some the size of tennis balls). The course had an outing going on that we weren’t informed of (GolfNow should have mentioned this when I booked the tee time). Incredibly slow play. The pin placements hadn’t been changed for many days, so ragged overgrown cups. Not moving the cups also caused an incredible amount of wear around the area due to foot traffic.
The only way I would play here again would be a $20 green fee.
Sad to see a really nice layout turn into a really low quality golf experience..
Good Value.. Challenging Tee Shot Track
This track offers tremendous value. Where I’m from $31 for 18+cart is an absolute steal on a Sunday. I’ve been out here with family and my cousins took me here to play. I had a great round and a great day on this challenging but fair track. My cousin tells me the summer out here has been very brutal and dry so the conditions we encountered werent surprising. When you cut greens in a drought it can be very delicate. There were definitely burn spots but the majority of green square footage was above average. The speeds were pretty good. A bit slow but not over the top. The bunkers were an absolute disaster but I expect this on a public track and again for $31 I’m not complaining. The key to this course is the tee shot. If you’re spraying it right or left you will find trouble on a majority of the holes. There’s a couple holes where you’re either hitting through a tree lined corridor or have a tiny tiny landing zone. Water is also in play. I love a course where you have to shape shots and hit some irons on 4’s instead of just bashing a driver. I would play this track again.
Disappointing
Course conditions were poor. Fairways decent with some burnt out areas. Greens were smooth and rolling nice, but were very burnt out in areas. Interesting layout and very tight on the back side. But clearly the course has fallen on some hard times and they’re doing the minimum to keep it playable. Too bad, because I’m sure back in the day it was a great place to play.
I teed off bright an early so my review may not be perfect. I can't speak to the pace of play since I was first out on the back with no one behind me. (LOVE THAT!) Greens were in decent shape. They were wet but still pretty fast, so I can imagine in dry conditions the greens would have been quite fast. The greens conditions could use improvement in care. There were a lot of ball marks and unfixed divots, so that was frustrating but also on the golfers to help these conditions. Course set up is a little more challenging than most courses. Always have to have a good tee shot which I enjoy that challenge. So if you have a problem losing balls, don't come here until you're good enough to have a consistent tee shot. I would recommend the Pines or Maple Hill if this is you. Water or woods/brush on either side of the fairway, at least for the back 9.
Hello, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry to see that your overall experience was anything short of 5 stars. We have projects underway to recover the tee boxes, fairways, greens, and sandtraps.. We hope you'll bear with us through this transition and give us another try in the near future. Thanks for choosing Wallinwood Springs Golf Club.
