Willow Creek Golf Course
About
Situated between Greenville and Spartanburg, Willow Creek Golf Course is a favorite course amongst many area players. The course has a classic layout that starts out gently with a player-friendly front nine but then becomes much more challenging on the back nine. The layout is a seemingly mild 6,890 yards from the back tees but it can feel longer because of all the elevation changes you'll encounter. It's a golf course that will appeal to beginners but advanced players will also enjoy the many risk-reward opportunities that can be found throughout. Water hazards come into play on eight holes and there is a slew of strategically placed bunkers lurking along the greensides. The par-5 fifth hole is Willow Creek Golf Course's signature. This 516-yard hole tumbles across rolling hills with a stream that cuts right through the fairway.

Can't wait for Spring!
1st time playing, thoroughly enjoyed the course. Greens are n exceptional condition (Tifeagle).
Everything is still dormant.
Rarely was a lye n the Fairway too thin. This course is well managed.
Wlow Creek is now my favorite local course!
Great course
We played on Monday 3-18-2024. Everything at this place is great. Fairways are starting to wake up. Greens are super fast right now. The golf carts of death should be getting replaced according to the staff.. Ours had no brakes. Driving Range is mat only right now, and only one Tee box had a mat on it. We will play again.
Great but wet
Loved the course and the layout but I went on a day it was very wet and cart path only.

Hello, don7742814. Thank you for visiting us at Willow Creek Golf Course. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Slow pace
Pace of play was extremely slow and no gamers on course.
Slow play
Course was in OK condition but the pace of play was very slow. A 5 hour round and saw no rangers.
Uptight
Course was in decent shape, some bunkers in bad shape, greens fast, solid fairways. The biggest complaint is how uptight they are. I have always heard that about this course but never really witnessed it outside of a few grumpy starters. Today we teed off at 8:15 (5 minutes past our tee time due to the group in front of us teeing off at 8:07). We got yelled at on the 8th hole for pace of play, we made rhe turn at 10 on the dot. That is 1:45 for 9 which is well below the 2:15 standard. The marshall even called ahead to the turn to reprimand us which I question them what the pace of play should have been? We ended up finishing the round at 11:30 so much faster than a standard 4-4.5 hr round.
Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Willow Creek Golf Course.
