Friendly and enjoyable place to play.

Staff was great. Driving range and teeing off #1 in the evening was a little tough because the course layout had us facing the sun. But minus the sun, the views are great. Course is close to the fairgrounds, so if they have a concert (which they did when we played), you’ll either enjoy it or have to deal with it. Price compared to other nearby courses for the weekend rate was fair. Overall good experience and will visit again.

Decent Course for the Money

This is a good course to get practice in with your irons. Only a handful of par 4's but mostly par 3's. It's a fun, fast course with a friendly staff. Would definitely recommend.

Decent Value

Decent value for the $$, but attention to detail lacking. Several greens have ant hills and fairway grass is long. Wasn’t thrilled that the starter kept sending everyone off 10, which severely clogged the back 9. A good course to practice iron/short game in 2-2.5 hrs if you can keep moving.

MmmLong grass

Never in my life have a played at tee boxes with grass up higher than the tallest part of my tee. Losing balls that are in the middle of the fairway. This is the first time I was considering leaving by the third hole. Not somewhere I’ll return to. Cool staff but if the grass is super long, just let us know before we pay.

Willow Springs Golf Course

Fir the price, it is a nice course. The staff could do a better job of preparing the greens each day. My last two outings, I found numerous ant hills on the greens and small dirt piles( worms maybe).

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.
