Resort course with no sand???
I have played this course many times over the years, but never have I seen the bunkers with literally no sand. Weeds and grass growing in them. Very sad to see since I have always enjoyed this course. Definitely not worth $80.00 right now.
What happened
Tees are tilted. Sand traps have no sand. Very disappointing. Used to be a good course. Holes are a bit close together. Ranger allowed a hole and a half gap between groups that held up all playing after that gap by a half hour at least.
Beat up
We used to love playing this course but the couple times we’ve been back it’s been very beat up. Tee boxes could really use some work
Good condition but Fix the bunkers
Course is in good shape. Bunkers are absolute garbage. Hard as a rock no matter fairway or green side and is like that every hole. Shouldn’t be hard to fix them with a similar garden machine.
Disappointed - bad experience
Our round took 5+ hours. There were way too many people on the course. The bunkers were in terrible shape.
I've played this course on a number of occasions. The condition and time of the round were terrible. This course provides a good experience when it is in good shape and it is possible to play in under 4 1/2 hours.
We waiting on EVERY shot. There was no effort to speed up play - that may have been impossible with the number of people on the course.
Fast greens
I have played Willowcrest multiple times and thoroughly enjoyed playing here.
But this round not as much because of the greens. I like greens that roll but this round the greens were beyond fast to the point it became ridiculous.
Fast greens
I have played Willowcrest multiple times. I love the layout and design. Staff is always friendly.
This time the greens were as fast as anywhere I have played. My playing partner called the pin placements "Sunday " basically between the super fast greens and impossible pin placements for how fast and hard the greens are...the round was frustrating.
Since we are in a drought I would suggest watering the greens more as we wait for rain.
Slow AF
First, the traps are a joke. It is well known, just grab your bell and chip from the fringe. Everyone does it…
Second, they are determined to pack as many people in the course as they can, and no joke there were three groups waiting on every tee from 4-16 . 5.5 hour round around that course is a waste of time.
Staff was great!
Bad sand
Gravel and dirt in the bunkers. Weeds around the tee boxes. Overall seems like no recent work or investment into the course. The turn is a kiosk with limited options for food. Probably worth $40 a round tops, not what they are asking. However the staff was great and fun
Bunkers are always dirt/mud
They just charge the same no matter the course conditions. They have refused to get people in to make the bunkers playable. It’s a playable course if you drop your ball next to bunkers and play.
Course needs a little TLC
Greens were good. However, there’s no sand in any of the bunkers. The half way house was closed on a Sunday? I’ve seen better at Willow Crest.
Willow Crest impressions
Despite living just 1 mile away it was the first time I have played on the golf course. The place is much nicer than it looks from the street when passing by. It is very diversified, challenging and fun to play. It was a little overcrowded due to the Mothers Day, otherwise no complains whatsoever. We recommend the place to everyone .
Criminally overpriced
The fact that this course is charging $80 is absurd. Layout is alright and has a lot of potential but that’s about it. You can’t find a flat spot anywhere to tee up your ball on most tee boxes.
The bunkers might be some of the worst I have ever seen, it is literally just super hard dirt & impossible to hit out of, when I told starter about it he said that ppl usually “take the ball of out the bunkers there & play em in the rough next to it…”
If you are charging $75-$80 that is unacceptable. We were waiting for 20 minutes on each hole on the back 9 to hit, until we left.
The golf shop/golf shop workers treated us very well & were at least understanding, so very good service & course that is not in great condition.
Lots of potential but not worth the money
Overall, the course is nice and has a lot of potential but is not worth the money. The bunkers were muddy and hard and the tee boxes were beat up, very small and not flat. The greens rolled pretty well but there were tons of ball marks, obviously a player issue. There was no ranger on course which made for an EXTREMELY slow round that I couldn’t even finish because of the pace of play. There is potential for the course to be very nice but it needs more attention and staff to monitor pace and etiquette. Disappointed in paying a premium to pay for a course that didn’t live up to expectations
