Excellent short course

While not a premium course, for the money Willow Springs is great value. Over the years I’ve seen major improvements to the course. This course is really nice for improving your short game. Friendly staff.

I am new to golf, but I enjoyed the course. It was fun and challenging, and only ate a few of my balls.

Better off not playing

Garbage course that is poorly managed. And the cart girl only sold water and Powerade. I didn’t expect an amazing experience for the cost but there wasn’t a single redeeming factor. Not worth playing at weekend rates.

Fun practice Course

All the par threes was interesting but it was nice to have some par 4 thrown in. Course seemed newer in that the clubhouse was not fully developed and the traps and greens needed a fair amount of work.

Worth the price and the drive

Traps were under repair and greens were slow. Hard to realize how hard to actually hit a putt with the slope. If they were cut tight this would be a tough course.

Waste of Money

This course needs to figure it out. Dandelions in the fairway, bare spots all over greens, and cart path only on numerous holes despite “fairways” not being soaked or burnt out. Lost multiple balls on the course that landed on the “fairway” or the “first cut”. Might as well sack up and spend the extra $20 to go play Waverly Woods at twilight time than waste your time at this course. Also, got cussed out by an employee a couple years back at the beginning of Covid for coming into the clubhouse with my mask slightly below my nose.

Lots of Improvements

Congratulation Willow Spring Staff !! I have been playing here maybe 2 to 3 times a year over the last 20 yrs on account its only 4 miles from my home and I can say this is the best condition I have ever seen this course . Ownership change a few years ago and you can see the difference . I am not going to get into details, but the course is still a challenge and a few of the holes are still tight, but the conditions were very good. A few greens still have some issues but it did not impact my game at least. The range is closed in the morning on Tuesday for mowing which was also the day I was there and all the fairways were freshly cut.. Just note , if you miss the fairway, that 2nd cut is still a challenge in finding your ball and it helps to make a short yardage course play longer. Staff is very friendly and helpful . For the first time , I can say, I look forward to playing here again when I have limited amount of time to play. Also , thank you golfers for fixing your divots. Did not see too many today. Enjoy .
