Willow Wood is a Open to the Public 18 Holes Golf Course, located off a dirt road.

Dont let the road fool you,

for the money, this is one of the best deals in Michigan. The Greens are always rolling fast, fairways lush and green, ruff can fool you.

Green's were in good shape, dark green in color, speed acceptable , Tee's and fairways lush, The Ruff, very difficult, overall what you would expect from a Resort Course Rates. Highly Recommend

Willow Wood is a secluded 18 hole golf course, with No Homes, just south of Portland Michigan. The Greens are some of the best in Michigan, Fairways nice and lush green, Bunkers have been upgraded. 2nd cut ruff is manageable, finding your ball not a difficult task..

The clubhouse, pro shop and restaurant, (was told by staff) have been closed/condemned for last 18 months. only a shipping container available for pro shop. porta jons
Driving range for public, ball machine not working, heard the ball picker was broke, they have to hand pick.

positives: The greens are in good shape, Teeing area acceptable, pace of play good, 4hr round. Pro Shop Staff very nice and helpful.
some of the bunkers on back 9 had been refurbished.

Negatives: fairways poor, area around greens, hardly playable, For a D1 program home course, embarrassing

Willow Wood course is in great shape. The ruff is cut low enough to find your ball, but high and thick enough to cause havac with your shot. Fairways and greens are lush as you would find at a private club.

Only issue was pace of play on the back. A 3 sum was holding up 2 groups behind. We played 3 holes twice and still had to wait.

Our round was played during the Covid-19 Stay at Home.
The course had 1 set of tee's, keeping maintenance to a minimum.
Grass was green and cut, Cups were raised 2 inches.
Fun Track, great condition for early spring.
Couple of holes with raised greens on top of hills, +1 or +2 club lengths.
Couple of Holes Par 4 downhill.
Overall best value yet.

Played the West course as a Two some. 3 Hr round.
Course, as always is in good shape, the greens were smooth after being punched about 40 days ago, The green speed seemed a little slow from playing in the past, balls checked up nicely, maybe to nicely sometimes.

Jamestown was as green and lush as we have ever seen it in 23 years. The only negative was the greens had been freshly sanded making putting a challenge

Played as a twosome
2.5 hrs front 9,
At turn 5 groups waiting.
Packed up called it a day
The course was in great shape.
The greens rolling on fire.
