Willow Pond is a great value!

Played 18 today at Willow Pond and the course was in nice shape for late in October. A perfect fall day with full sun in the afternoon and low wind! The fairways are in great shape, the greens have been aerated and sanded so putting is a bit tricky but manageable. The staff in the club house were great as lunch was very good! The price was great! I would definitely play this course again!

Delightful

Wonderful time playing this course. Nice wide fairways. Greens in in excllent condition. Fairways on the short side but ideal for intermediate players like my wife and me. Staff super friendly and accommodating. 19th hole served up one of the best burgers I have ever tasted.

Solid

Nothing wrong with this course. Nothing incredible either, but a solid option. We visited from Tennessee and enjoyed playing a non-bermudagrass course. Fairways were in good to great condition, greens were pretty slow and relatively flat. Course layout was relatively easy to play for a first-timer. Staff was super nice, clubhouse was ok but nothing fancy. Overall, a good option and we will likely return next time in town.

Could not have been better today

Teriffic course on former military base now privately owned as a daily fee 18 hole track. Very playable and in great condition and well maintained. Just like playing at a favorite private course. Bar and snack bar offer best taco lunch imaginable. It is likely we go there to eat as much as to play. If one doesn’t like this outing probably should stick to another sport. Try it you’ll like it!

Good day playing on this good course.

Playing willow pond is a joy. A challenging course but fair, tee boxes, fairways, greens all were in great condition. A must play if you are in the area.

Willow pond is a must play

Everything about this course was very good except the sand bunkers. Just don’t play out of them. Avoid at all costs. The rest of the course greens fairways all in very good condition.

Beautiful course

This course was prestige and well manicured. I loved the course layout and challenge for any level golfer based on the tee box selected. Had a two for one coupon so for this round the value was absolutely incredible. Even without the coupon I would definitely be happy with the value. It was over 2-hours round trip for me but was worth it. I was however unhappy with the fact that there was not a ranger present to keep the pace of play. Was stuck behind a group on the front nine that did not offer to let us pass even though we were waiting a good deal of time for every shot. We passed the group on the turn and then pace of play was perfect. I absolutely will be visiting this course again and hopefully the pace of play will be managed by the course.

Ghost town

I booked a tee time online for noon on Tuesday, received a confirmation email and arrived at 11:45. However, NOBODY was there. All doors were locked and no carts were out. Even though I paid for a cart I decided I'd rather walk then go home without playing a few holes. None of the flags were out so I couldn't tell where the holes were but the courses were in good condition other than that hiccup. Golfed here many times and always had pleasant experiences with the staff so I'm shocked they would allow me to book a tee time and not call or email me if they knew they were going to close.
