Par 71
Length 6138 yards
Slope 123
Rating 69.2

Located just three miles south of downtown Portland, Willow Wood Golf Club sprawls across acres of rolling countryside laced with meandering creeks and ribbons of mature woodlands. The naturally hilly terrain lent itself perfectly to a challenging championship course. Golfers will encounter a range of ups and downs but the golf course is a manageable 6,200 yards from the back tees. It's a layout that will keep you on your toes but it's not overly punishing for the high handicapper. The course will test your skills, requiring creative shot making throughout. Each hole requires a different strategy and presents risk-reward opportunities, you're guaranteed to use every club in your bag. One of Willow Wood Golf Club's most memorable holes is the par-3 eighth. It has a sloped green with bunkers on the left, but a birdie might be a possibility if the wind is on your side.

Good course at a great price

Course was well-maintained and, aside from some noise from the nearby dirt bike track, was great to play.

Unbelievable!

For thirteen dollars, I expected a run down place to hit some balls. Instead, I was treated to a gorgeous country club with rolling hills, beautiful landscaping, meticulously kept greens, challenging layouts. Incredibly friendly staff. I have paid 10 times this amount to play a round of golf and not been as impressed. This place is awesome!

great shape great value

I really enjoyed this course. It is in excellent condition and the greens were fast but rolled true. Not really sure how to rate the pace of play in that we were first off so as is the case with us normally we get around real quick. The course is fairly short but has some tricky shots.

Course was in great condition

The greens were good and the grass was plush. It rained after 8 holes so we played the last hole in the rain. We were issued rainchecks for the back nine. Staff was friendly and courteous. They even turned on the Tiger ballgame for us to watch in the clubhouse while we ate.

excellent course

I really like this course. Grass was well maintained, especially for the price. The only thing i didn't like was there is a dirt track right next door and they were having dirt bike/ quad races and it was pretty distracting.

My favorite course!

This course is a lot of fun to play. Always well maintained except for the old golfers who don't fix their balls marks.

Wish I could give it 31/2 stars!

Kind of out there, but not way out. Nice club house, great staff. Liked the layout, greens were good overall if the farmers and the kids would repair their ball marks and divots. The18th hole from the back tees, HUNGH? Striped a drive and it was nowhere? Really a strange set up, especially for a first time group. Rate was good on golf now for a Sunday afternoon. Overall we enjoyed ourselves even though: Moto Cross race track right on top of the golf course, really irritating. Kids let out by themselves who were complete hackers and yucking it up with no Marshall on a Sunday. Just some things that were a detriment to the overall experience that probably can't or won't be fixed. Would go back again but during the week when the kids go back to school. OVERALL 3.5 BUT!!!

Worth a drive .... really is.

I really like this course. I live in Lansing (30ish min drive) and still play this place about 5 times a year. Nobody needs to defend this place, its just more people need to come check it out. Above average conditioning and interesting holes (seriously). I have no affiliation at all just throwing that out there.... worth it for sure and VERY walkable....

P.S. First hole fairway runs out at 220 from white tees...put the driver away.
