Nice Nine home course
I like Willow hill it’s to expensive without a golf now deal but a fun course with two Par 5 ‘s.
The layout is nice with a few raised tee boxes the use stairs to reach number nine is the best with tee box about 40 feet up. Nice views of down town from course.
Staff is always nice
No surprise the course is very well cared
No surprise.., we enjoyed playing this “unique” Scottish
Golf course in beautiful Northbrook overlooking the city iChicago skyline.
Great links layout
Great course for a quick 9. No trees aka no leaves makes it a great track for fall golf. Be prepared for some wind.
really windy
Nice course during the fall. A little windy, but you wont lose your ball under leaves. You will loose it on the hills. It is an enjoyable course.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave an excellent rating! We really appreciate your business. Thanks for choosing Willow Hill Golf Course!
Slowly improving
Some good some not so much. The course has good layout, is challenging and the staff all are pleasant. However, fairways are mostly alright but can use some improvement, as well as the tees, and the bunkers need some attention also. pace of play was a little long 2hrs and 15min for 9 holes.
One suggestion I have is to have more of a defined fairway so you can see it clearly from the tee. Overall, course is slowly improving and with a few tweaks it can be in as good shape as Glenview Prairie Club.
Thanks so much for your review. We're so glad you enjoyed your round at Willow Hill Golf Course. That's what we like to hear! We hope to see you again soon!
Good 9 hole course
The only downside to this course IMO were the sand traps. Very little little sand in them. Club just bounces and you can’t get under the ball.

Good Stuff
My hats off to he owners and staff. They have done more than an incredible job of improving this course. These are really smart operators. I’m so impressed not just with course but all the other things they are doing on the hill. They are changing the direction of the driving range so you’re not hitting into the sun in the late afternoon. Currently you’re hitting from a bit of a downhill lie. They will level it off when they change the direction of the range. The course is good. The greens are much improved. Fairways are good. Really the only improvement I see they need is to do a better job with the sand traps. They need some work starting with more Good sand. There is not enough sand currently. If you open up your club face it just bounces and you end up blading your sand shot. Otherwise I like what the owners and staff have done so far!
Thanks so much for your review. We're so glad you enjoyed your round at Willow Hill Golf Course. That's what we like to hear! We hope to see you again soon!
A very nice Scottish links course
Enjoyed playing here, very challenging 9 hole Scottish links course

for the right golfer, this is an excellent course
The course is known for a traditional layout. That means that there are no water hazards, and few trees. there are a fair amount of sand traps. The comment that they are rocky rather than sand is correct. For a golfer looking for a novel experience, or a golfer with directional control problems, this is the best course in the north Chicago suburbs. The starter and Ranger go out of their way to be friendly and helpful.

Keeps on Improving
The course continues to improve. The fairways are good but there are still some parts that need attention. The tees need some improvement. Nice greens that are undulating and challenging. However, the practice green seemed slower than the greens on the course. Sand traps need the most work. Traps I was in were like hitting off of hard pan. Where is the sand?
You have one New elevated tee you put in which I think is great! You have a nice commanding view of the hole; however, I found the slope you have to navigate down from the tee to be potentially too steep. Also, the stairs to the 9th tee box really need to be fixed. They seem to be an accident just waiting to happen.
The new owners have made some terrific improvements to the course, and I hope they continue. Willow Hill has great potential.

Sorry to say that the golf course was not up to my expectations, or to how I have found it in the past. Unfortunately, the traps have not been maintained for quite some time, tremendous amount of weeds. And the tees need some work also. Hopefully it’s just a matter of being short staffed, and they can overcome the present condition
We apologize for the disappointment with the current condition of our golf course. We appreciate your feedback and will make sure to address the issues with the traps, weeds, and tees as soon as possible. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
