Wonderful Layout!

Willow has some hills which add character to the course. It was in good shape considering that it had rained the night before. The greens were in good shape but did not seem to have the same speed from green to green. The bunkers did not have good sand. The character of the layout is an attraction you don't find on many courses in this area. We played the second nine behind a foursome that was very slow with no courtesy to wave us through. A ranger would have been helpful. Overall we enjoyed the round.

Golf for Fun

Dog Leg holes are tricky. My first time on the course. Fairly long from the white tees if your not long off the tee. If you plan your shots, water is not a problem. Again first time players without knowledge of the course can find trouble. Enjoyable to play, low scores for straight hitters.

slow

Left after 5 1/2 hours, only 13 holes finished. Had rained night before slowest greens I've seen all season. Had not been cut for at least 3 days, they looked like carpet. It was a challenging course from off the tee. Even the suggested areas for the approach shots were tight. Trees overhang and block, the help booklet could be updated or gotten rid of.

Good Value

Played in about 2 1/2 hours....I was a single and played through numerous groups who were all more than happy to let me shoot on through. Turkey Sandwich at the turn was excellent also.

Over a dozen dog legs. very enjoyable to play. Sand traps are real. Traps are several feet high.

Water is not a real problem here. Bunkers are real but not many of them. If you hit straight it is a easy course.If you like dog legs then this is your course.

Nasty

My wife a above average female golfer had no chance of getting on par 4s in 2 or the par 5s in 3.
The rough was to long could not find are balls. The fairways were 2' high in spots. Not worth the price if it was $ 10.00 No reason for the course to be in that shape. I worked on that course. I don't know what happened to it. Been cutting greens and working on
golf courses for 30 years. It wasn't my best experience. Thanks Stan

Needs a little attention

The price was right. With a little more attention to the condition of the course it can be a real gem to play.
