Things I would love to see

I play this course at least once a week because of how much I love the layout; especially the 2nd & 9th hole (which I have a love hate relationship w/ both) I know it’s the end of the season. But I would really love to see, next year, the greens in better shape. But more importantly, grass seed kept in the carts. I would bring my own but I’m not sure if a different type (if that matters) would make things worse. I’m one of those golfers who hates making divots & leaving them there just fixing it to the best of my ability. Seed in the carts would make a whole world of difference to make sure this course goes from fair to great!

Conditions were poor

Greens were in terrible shape - huge dead areas filled with sand. Rough was so unkempt it was difficult to locate balls - l lost half a dozen balls . Fairways were hard to distinguish. Transition between 5th & 6th hike was flooded. I won’t be back until they make the course passable. Not worth $30 for 9 holes.

Just average course

Willow Run has been around a long time.
It’s close to my home that’s the main attraction. It’s ok for the average player to get out and play 9 holes of decent size.
Their issue is not maintaining the course well. In spring you couldn’t putt on green from all the whirlybirds and my recent trip the greens are not getting watered and have lot brown dead spots. They could also improve the quality and food offerings in clubhouse.

Horrible Greens

No starter, groups of 6 players, and large patches of dead grass on many greens. Total waste of money.
