About
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.

Best Value
This course is kept in as good of shape as any. It’s not real long but there are still challenges on every hole. Fun but challenging course that’s kept up very well.
GNATS GNATS GNATS!!
I knew this course wasn’t going to be Pebble Beach or anything for $34 to play 18 holes, but I never expected playing a course that was infested with more gnats than I’ve ever seen and have a very strong fertilizer smell that left your ball blue when you putt!
The gnats were so bad you couldn’t stand still for more than a couple seconds without a swarm around you smacking you in the face, landing in your ear, or flying in your mouth. Concentrating on any shot was near impossible.
This course made my golf experience terrible and I wouldn’t recommend anyone playing this course until they get their course in better shape. Excessive fertilizer and an insect problem isn’t the greatest conditions to play golf in!
Michigans Hidden Gem.
This place is wonderful. There are challenging holes that will make you rethink how you golf. The only downside (which I’m hoping they’ll correct) they don’t sell and NA beer. Other than that, I give this 5 stars!!!
Challenging greens
Nice course, greens were challenging to read. You can tell they are trying to keep playable turf watered. It's hard to keep looking nice in a hot drought. It was a nice place to play.
5 Star++
Excellent course! Everything was perfect! Fairways were green and nicely mowed; greens were fantastic; tee boxes in great shape. Pro shop lady was very nice, and friendly! This is a hidden gem!

Fun Course
Nice layout through woods and some wetland areas. Friendly staff. A little short from white tees, but still requires shot making. Greens were in great shape...putts rolled smoothly, with consistent pace. I play here several times a year. Great fall colors. Good value.
Great Value
Played midday and had a lot of fun. Course was hard due to the lack of rain but it was well watered and the greens were very fast
