Willow Springs

Willow Springs is the perfect course for a quick morning round or to work on your short game. The staff is helpful and the starters work with you. the tee boxes are in good shape and the greens can be tricky, but good shots are rewarded. It's one of my favorite places to play in the DMV because the price is fair and you spend your time playing golf and not standing around. My understanding is that the snack bar is about to open and that will make this a great course for an after-round snack. I like this course a lot!

Fairways needs work. Some greens were in fair conditions. The starter keep following and complaining of slow play, as others were insight ahead of us.

sleepy back nine

1st 9 pace was great. From the start of the back 9 things changed to a snail pace due to one twosome. Appeared to be a father and teenage son holding everything up with no regard for anyone. Only saw Marshall on front 9.

Great Little Course

Great Little Course. Greens could use some help . Pace was ok but got backed up a few times.
Only problem of the outing was their credit card access was not working so it was cash only. Fortunately I had some cash on me that day. Hopefully they get that issue fixed soon.

Worse Course Ever!!!

Terrible experience. Horrifically maintained tee boxes, fairways, and greens. Should be imprisoned for charging such ridiculously high rates...it was robbery! Staff reminded me of the 90 degree rule on the fairway, which would be awesome if they had a fairways. Crabgrass, weeds, dirt, have taken over the course. Save your money. Play a real course like any of the Montgomery County big boy courses.

Excellent short course

While not a premium course, for the money Willow Springs is great value. Over the years I’ve seen major improvements to the course. This course is really nice for improving your short game. Friendly staff.

I am new to golf, but I enjoyed the course. It was fun and challenging, and only ate a few of my balls.
