Detroit Trip
Really like the course layout. Greens were in nice condition. Some of the fairways looked like they had some water damage. Will play next year when we are in the Detroit area.
Great course/bad luck
Due to recent torrential rains, Willow Metro Park Golf Course had several areas of water damage. But the damaged areas did not affect the fun of playing this course. And I’m sure this great layout will return to A-1 shape soon.
Every club in the bag is used when you play Willow.
**WARNING - Course is under water June 2018**
There was no warning until arriving at the course that half of it is underwater. 3 holes are converted to par 3 because the holes are unplayable. Cart path only. All the holes had a few puddles to half the hole under water. Lost at least 5 balls in puddles or buried in mud.
Course specific: the front nine is very flat and only mild interest. The back nine is much better with elevation changes and much prettier holes. There were multiple players blasting music and saw a group of 7 on one hole. There is obviously no supervision of this public course. Warning, play at your own risk! Not worth $25 and I don't recommend this course while it is wet.
Willow Metro
The course was in good shape but green are slow and many wet areas on the ciurse.
Good Course, Good People
I have golfed at Willow more than a few times now, and I will say I always enjoy it. The views are very nice during certain times of the year, and the staff has always been friendly and accommodating.
The course was a little wet this past weekend, but that is expected at this time of year.
Willow Metro Park
Very nice course to play. Excellent condition, I like the layout, there are some tough holes and some not so tough holes but the entire course requires you to concentrate on your golf swing and hit good shots or you will be in trouble, every hole. Great greens and fairways and tees, for the price this course is hard to beat.
Very nice
Beautiful course and layout. A bit on the long side but very enjoyable to play. Feels like you are playing a northern Michigan course.
Must Play
All things considered, this course is a great value. The price was very inexpensive, the fairways and greens were in super condition.
I played courses this year that cost $45.00, that were in this shape.
Highly recommend!
Why have tee times?
Buddy and I went and played Willow. I called in and set a tee time for 2:40pm. We get to the course and we check in at about 2:25pm, we are told we are behind the 'two guys' right there. We load our cart and we notice the 'two guys' still on the putting green and its 2:35. 2:40pm rolls around and they are still on the green, go to the first tee and there are people there! What's the point of tee times!? I would recommend having a ranger picking up the pace of play or have people tee off on 1 and 10 instead of everyone going off 1 tee.
Pros:
- Green are good
- Fairways are on point, very nice
- Has that 'up north' feel with the woods and some hidden shots
Cons:
- Pace of play
- Everyone has to tee off #1 hole
- Bunkers had rocks in them...YES ROCKS!! Geezz! Why???
Overall I would play again, maybe different time of day. Fun little course
St Louis
Always try to play one of the Metro courses when visiting the area. Course was in good shape for this time of the season. Greens were good maybe a little slow. For a first-time play you need more course knowledge to be in the right place off the tee. Would like to play it again.
Third time at Willow
Fell in love with the course the first time we played, weather kind of sucked but we managed to play a decent round, 2nd time weather much nicer, my game sucked, 3rd time out weather perfect, great rate and played half way decent. Pace was kind of slow the 3rd time out but that doesn't bother us, gives us more rest between holes!
Great layout,terrible greens
This course is on a wonderful piece of property and is a great layout. To bad the conditions are fair at best. This course could be the premier course in the area. Big problem is the greens. They are always bumpy and slow. Wish they would at least keep them like they do at Lake Erie. It's just a shame.
Wet; heavy continuous rain in area.
Long rain time in area; I am glad they opened course.. Front 9 fine. Back 9 really wet. 10th should have been closed; too wet to play. I have always liked this course; weather is no one's fault but drainage on 10 needs to be improved.
