    I played this course this morning and haven't been there in 10 years. First off, it was only 30$ to walk and play 18. The course is in really good condition, fairways are nice and the greens were all well maintained. The greens are very soft so you can attack the pins.

    The staff was very friendly, the Marshall was off to the side of #11 and saw us hit our drives off to the right into the fescue (not sure if I'm spelling that right). He sat at our balls and waited for us to get close to him and showed us where they went. I don't think the previous comments about the staff being unfriendly are fair.


    The only thing I would recommend to new golfers trying this course is to bring a range finder. I feel like the yardage on the scorecard are old. For example hole 17 is marked at 272, we got 215 to the middle of the green , and 18 is marked around 250 and it was closer to 220.

    The courseis short, but there are several evergreens along the fairways that make accuracy important and if you hit into the fescue your best bet is to take a penalty drop. We will be back again.

    Love this course. Always friendly. If you don’t have cash, they have an ATM. Great course to walk. One of my favourites to play in the area. Great hot dogs also.
    Only suggestion is that a few holes are difficult to find and need better signage on the course.

    Do not understand how this course can charge $30 for nine holes riding and it’s always cash, need to get a debit machine and reduce your cost to fit the state of the course and carts

    To start, this course is terribly kept. Secondly, I have never in my entire time of golfing been subjected to the customer service that I was given during my round. We were profiled from the second we started our round and were told that wed be kicked off the course for a few objections before we were even given a “hello”.
    Not only were we disrespected before our tee off, this persisted throughout our round. We will not only be back, but we urge people who are thinking about golfing here to refrain. 0 stars if I could and the owner should be ashamed. P.S please mark the speed bumps as I ruined the front end of my car from driving over them.

    your day time worker in the clubhouse should dress appropriately instead of dressing as if she going to perform at a strip club
    young children shouldn't be exposed to that kind of dress code

    The previou comment must be written out of anger... We played today sept 19 2016 and the track was in great shape, it is a very challenging course. Club selection and straight shots are the only way you wont get eaten, very little room for error if your shooting for 70's. The Willows greens are in fantastic shape and the same as any top golf course. I have played every track around windsor essex county and if i had to describe it, its like kingville red and Erie shores front nine had a baby. Go try it for yourself! Cheers

    If I could rate this course 0 stars - I would. First of all, this golf course is in terrible shape. Even at the cheap rate, it is a terrible value course. With so many reasonably priced courses in the area, I would avoid this golf course at all cost. Further, while the staff is pleasant and accommodating, the owner is a curmudgeonly little man with no sense of how to act like a professional or to treat golfers.

    I would highly recommend Belleview for a cheaper track or Ambassador for a bit of a nicer track.

    You will regret booking a tee time at Willow Creek.
