Willow Creek Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
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.

Nice course
Great course . Don’t really like having to pair up with random players if you only have 2. Sometimes it works out but sometimes you get really slow players
Pace of play
After four hours of standing around we called it quits with 5 holes to go.
Solid course. Great value.
Willow Creek offers the club “feel” without the club price. It’s nestled in a golf course community that weaves in and out of some very nice houses. The greens were under repair in a few spots and the fairways had plenty of unrepaired divots that need maintenance but for a busy public course, it’s in overall good condition. The starter put us on the first tee right on time and we saw course marshals several times throughout our round though they never had cause to approach us. ⛳️⛳️⛳️⛳️/5
Awesomeness
This is a very tricky course to play and will challenge any level of golfer. The course is well taken care of and the staff are very helpful and courteous. I couldn't ask for a better experience!
Fair and friendly track
Love this course and I think it plays very fair for the mediocre golfer. Bunkers need lots of work however. That’s the only negative.
Willow Creek; Great Course
This is the first time playing this course. The course is in really good shape and I enjoyed the round. The course is fairly short and get'able if you're getting off the tee box safe. I'll be playing here again next time I am in SC.
Pace of play disappointing
Had a great time! Staff was friendly and helpful!!
Ambassador was trying to move the pace of play but was unsuccessful! Greens were very n consistent and slow. The course was extremely dry on the fairways and needs rain or irrigation. ! Had a great time, and will definitely return!
Great condition
Course was in great shape and greens came back great after being punched. Only issue is the course being backed up but it wasn't unbearable this round. It's hard to go wrong with this course.
