Great course to perfect you’re short game!
Many Par 3s and Par 4s , great chance to work on your short game, greens and fairways were in excellent shape; staff, very friendly, carts exceptionally clean, and have GPS for the course to assist with distance, great experience all around!
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round, u314162187173! We look forward to seeing you again soon at Willow Springs Golf Course.
Disappointed
This was my first time playing this course and I was a bit disappointed. We paid a decent amount to play 9 holes only. When ready to tee off they start all groups on the 10th hole, and there were 4 groups in line waiting. There was no one on the 1st and 2nd hole and no one currently making the turn. We asked several times if we could go off on 1 since we were a twosome and only playing 9 holes and wouldn't hold anyone up at the turn. We were told no several times and therefore for all 9 holes we sat waiting for 5-10 minutes to tee off. This seemed very unreasonable that we couldn't play the front 9. Also, there were about 5 par 3's on the back 9, and zero par 5's so that was also a disappointment. The one silver lining was the MOD when we finished; I think it was Eric. He chatted us up, told us all about a new women's league and was super friendly. All in all, I wouldn't choose to play 9 holes here for the cost, but might be willing to give 18 a shot another time.

Not great, but not terrible
This is a great course to practice your irons on, however there seems to be a lot of confusion when it comes to sending people off onto the course. No one playing seemed to care about the people behind them - there were multiple instances where the people in front of us were just taking way too long to find their own balls, and really created a back up behind us. The fairways are pretty decent and the greens are okay at best. Fun course, just poor course management.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us, Kcandbuddy. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Willow Springs Golf Course, and we hope to see you again in the future.
Great course, horrible groundskeeper
I have played this course many times of the years and let me just start off by saying that most of the staff are really trying to make the course better. Scott the head pro, has hired 2 assistants that are making numerous improvements around the pro shop, and are doing a wonderful job. I have noticed that a lot of the staff have been replaced and it was for the better, they have all been extremely accommodating and professional with me. The pro shop just a few years ago was outdated, and had almost no inventory. Now it feels like a real golf shop with prices so fair that I am happy to buy from there rather than any big box store. Sadly though I wish that I could write a review that was all positive, but there are negatives with this place. I played yesterday on Memorial Day and for some reason the course is still cart path only, when I asked indoors about it I was told that’s what the superintendent has told us our policy is and we have no idea when it will not be Cart path only. I play golf often at many different courses around the area and this is the only course that is still cart path only. I have difficulty understanding why other courses that are not executive courses that are in much better shape allow carts off the path but for some reason the superintendent here feels as though that would hurt something. Even worse than the cart path only though is the condition of the grass and greens. The grass is so thick around here that it literally feels as if you are playing in the U.S. Open at Bethpage Black. You can’t find your ball, and as a mid handicapper it’s almost impossible to hit your balls out of it, Also with the cart path only it just slows down the pace of play even more because of how hard it is to find your ball in the rough. The tee boxes are cut so high that even with a 3 inch tee it’s not high enough to tee up above the grass. Im not sure if maybe the grounds crew was on vacation and maybe that’s why the grass was so high but if that’s the condition they normally have it then quite frankly the superintendent should be ashamed. The greens are not in good shape, long grass, unrepaired divots, dead spots, and poorly cut cups. This course has so much potential and like I said the new management in the pro shop is trying extremely hard and doing a great job. The only thing holding this course back in my opinion is the condition of the course.
Great tune up course.
Overall a excellent executive course. The course was very good shape.and Improvements are appreciated. A great way to tuneup game in around 3 hours.
Great experience
A nice short course for beginners or just a casual player. Staff very friendly and some killer dog action at the turn.
Love the Springs
Wow the improvements to the course and clubhouse really seal the deal. Course looks and plays great !!! Great staff and new amenities go a long way. Can’t wait to play again. Would recommend this course !!! Thanks !!!
Not for single handicap players
Course was very short and not challenging at all. This course is more for those who are getting into golf or just enjoy being out on the course. Single handicap golfers will breeze through this course without struggle. Not worth the money
Sunday Golf
Had a great round at Willow Springs. We played 18 in just under 3 1/2 hours. Started on 10 for some reason. Only issue is the tee boxes are not in great shape. Otherwise course is in great shape and the staff was very nice. Great value for the money for sure!
course management
Course needs to be maintained better for the price, rough is very bad, lots of patchy grass with clumps of grass, almost impossible to hit a shot out of. fairways were fine. greens need to be cleaned off. there was severe debris on every green. and the course marshal was not doing their job. i spent 10+min waiting at each and every home for the group ahead of me to tee off. nothing was done about the pace of play when asked to help speed them up.
Good value but fix amenities
Enjoyed the course but ball washing stations were empty and no water on course to refill water bottles
