Communication

I bought 9 holes AND a cart and I showed up and they told me I couldn’t ride. This should have been communicated before purchase. I had to relocate my golf for the day.

Rough shape

Shorter 9 hole course with lots of old growth trees. The course is in rough shape and overpriced because of this. Pace of play was fine. Still had fun just expected more for the money.

Excellent shape

Coarse was in great shape and they added a few things to make it easier to read. Markers at each tee and stakes in the middle to mark your yardage. Excellent idea.

Greens are a little long.

Overall shape and playing experience was GREAT. Nice 9 hole layout... there with my wife who is just learning the game. Greens were a bit long... I understand they had some trouble with the greens last year, so they are coming back... I would recommend this course.

Go to driving range instead

Course has now been horrible for 2 years, friendly staff garbage course. They should be embarrassed to take money. Not worth it. They have a lot of people putting up5 star reviews, don’t buy it!

Pass on this place, used to be good, conditions. Now the tee box, fairway and greens are like playing in a farm field, there’s no difference

They even sprayed painted the greens last year!! This was my last time to try n play this place, never again!

It’s a great course for the value

Played here with my boys and a friend, it’s changed over the years. I remember the scores from when I was younger probably about 10 to 15 years ago and it was in much better shape for the turf. Harden some areas barren in some areas but soaking wet and others. For the value in the money it was a perfect course to play.

Nice 9 for couples

Willow Run is a traditional 9 hole layout excellent for learning golfers and couples. Low pressure environment with a course that is short but challenging. The condition of the greens was rough with patches of dead areas on a few greens but the price is right and we enjoyed our round

This is a perfect practice course. Nothing flashy, nothing expensive just a good practice course. 9 hole only.

Great staff, horrible course

The lady inside the club house was awesome, the starter was great. The course itself was trash. This course needs to be shut down for some serious TLC. The greens were in terrible condition. Spots worn out that changed the direction of the ball. Not worth the money unfortunately.

Horrible Conditions!

From tee box to green this place was in horrible condition. Tee boxes were dirt. Greens were not even puttable, most had huge dead spots all over!

Save your money!
