Not good

Been many years since I’ve played this course. Terrible conditions; most (if not all) greens had burn out/bare spots and they obviously don’t send people out to fix ball marks on a regular basis. Fairways were average at best. Will not go back-way overpriced for the conditions and it’s a shame because it could be a nice course.

Killer cart paths.

Pot hole here and there fine, but they are everywhere. Huge pot holes, no excuse for that.

Challenging public course. Back 9 of Willow was great!

No beverage carts

This time of year it’s very hot. There are no water through out the course. To protect golfers from dehydration water should be available.

Needs some care, but a good track!

The course itself it a nice course; I am pretty sure that the only flat spots were in the parking lot and that is a good thing! The greens were fast and the fairways were hard, so getting extra out of clubs was easy. The only drawback here was the cart paths; needs work! Considering some of the courses that I have been to, way off of the beatin path, this course was well worth the trip from the Dayton area; I will be playing this one again!

Terrible

3.5 hours to play front 9. Zero pace of play expectations and no enforcement or rangers doing their jobs. Made the turn and left after hole 13. Would have been over 6 hours to play a round here. For $50 and an average course with below to average conditions, this was absolutely not worth the money. I would not recommend unless you want to wait 15-20 minutes for every shot.
