Nice change

It was a welcome change at Willodell. Most times I have played there something goes off the path. Everything was in place. Greens were firm and fast. Bunkers are in good shape. Fairways where good. Rough was thick and punishing. All in all the course is in great shape. Good price for this course. Finally a round at Willodell that things where the way they should be. No hidden costs or extras when you checked in like on previous dates. Good job now keep it up.

Soggy day

The course was soggy at best. This made it cartpath only which slows everything down. The course is in good shape overall. It’s early in the season and I am sure we will play it again!

The course has been drying up nicely with the recent warm temperatures and winds. We'll see you again soon.

Always Something

Willodell always has something that makes you not really enjoy your day. For starters we where charged more than what it said on GolfNow. We questioned it and were told these where the fees that we had to pay. This has NEVER happened anywhere else. Frost delay so they where 45minutes behind so they push you around the course! Since there was a delay they could have dressed the bunkers and maybe rolled the greens. The cart girl and Marshalls need to learn some golf etiquette. Keeping the noise down when a player is right there and trying to play would be great! All in all Willodell is OK but nothing great. Greens don't hold and are ok for speed. They try to market themselves as a 9 out of 10 but they struggle to be a 7.

Not Worth it!!

The course looks like it is in good shape until you are out there. Tee Boxes are in need of some care! Fairways are in ok shape with a few spots that need some looking after. Then there is the GREENS! These are in the worst shape I have ever seen on a course. People need to fix ball marks properly and the course needs to be on that! The greens are pocked all over so no matter where you are you put through old badly fixed divots! Not worth the $62 we paid to play. What a let down!!

Battlefield

The course was in pretty good shape. Greens where really slow and bunkers very wet! We paid $60 which seems like the going rate but is a little over priced.

Thank you for the feedback and yes we agree, this year has been very wet throughout the entire season so far! Hopefully Mother Nature cooperates and gives us a long, warm Fall season

Still Needs Work!

The course was in OK shape. It still needs work though. Tee Boxes need work and greens are in ok shape. Fairways could use a little TLC. They seem to have been working on some things like a new clubhouse but some care for the course would really boost appeal!!
Overall a fair round but over priced at $50 with a cart.

Heron Course

The course was VERY DRY. Greens where hard and didn't receive well. Members need to be more welcoming here. Seems like you aren't greeted with the warmest when a member discovers you aren't a member. Seems to be the way at a few courses in this area!!

Port Colborne

The course was in GREAT SHAPE! Greens a little firm and didn't receive well. Overall the course is good and pace was normal. One thing is the members there can be a little rude. Seems like they think if you aren't a member then you are intruding. Something the course really needs to work on in my eyes.

Worst Greens in Niagara

The course was dry in some areas. on the greens you need to bring a longer hitting club than your putter... The slowest greens in the area. Couldn't tell the rough from the fairway cause they where the same length.. LONG. Tee boxes where hard at best. Needed a hammer to get your tee in. Just wasn't what I thought it would be. Could be said to be a FARMERS FIELD!!

Not Worth more than 20

The course was in fair to poor shape. Grass cut and left all over the edges of the fairways and rough. This makes it hard to find your ball when it's under the huge piles of grass. Just not well maintained!! Last time for us. We paid 20 to walk thought it was a great deal but NOT REALLY.

Battlefield

The greens were very firm and you couldn't hold them. played Usshers Creek a month ago and the greens were very nice. Battlefield needs these type of greens. The grass must have been left to grow cause they mowed it and left all the trimmings. That wasn't impressive.
