a nice relaxing day with friends

The course was in good shape. the greens were a little slow but that is understandable since we have had very little rain and we don't want the greens to burn. so leave them a little longer.. the staff was great and we had a very enjoyable day. I will go back.

Open, but lagging behind.

Generally speaking I like Willow but this round was a bit disappointing. A few small things added up. 1. They’ve been open for a few weeks and the tee markers are not out yet. 2. Several pin positions haven’t been changed for quite a while and the edges were very ragged. 3. Many tees have dozens, maybe even hundreds of divots which haven’t been repaired. 4. I don’t often stop at the turn to get anything but Willow makes a great egg salad sandwich so I went in to get one only to be informed that the grill/sandwich making operation wasn’t open. The greens were in decent shape other than the old pins. Erie Metropark golf course, another nearby Huron-Clinton Metropark course, was in full operation with tees out, full grill in operation and fresh cut pins in place. Not sure why Willow’s not at the same status.

Nice greens

The greens were in good shape. The fairways and tee boxes are still a little bare in spots

Good to get out.

Couse was what I expected for early spring.. couple of drawbacks however.. no tee markers and bunkers look like they weren't touch since last season... but I know that it will get better as it warms up..

Difficult but fun.

I love this downriver course. It has a few difficult holes and you feel like you are up north.

It would have been nice to advise that the greens had been aerated...!

Not really a good deal with those conditions.

Extremely slow play. Normally when I play here the pace is fine

I don’t mind waiting a little while between shots , but when you have to wait 10 minutes per shot it’s no fun.
