Too Many Leafs!
Willow Run has the potential to be a great nine hole course, unfortunately it leaves something to be desired. When I arrived they were running 15-20 minutes behind and there were no golf carts available. I had to wait until a group finished their round of golf before I got their cart. There was no starter/ranger thus the pace of play was slow. The tee boxes, greens, and fairways need a lot of work, especially the greens. The weather was beautiful but since it was November all the leafs were on ground. It was difficult finding our ball even on fairways. I have seen many golf courses use riding leaf blowers which greatly helps clear the course and allows for golfers to find their ball and keep up the pace of play. I was told by the others I was playing with that the course is usually much nicer at the beginning of the year. That being so, the course needs a lot of care, especially the greens.
Do not golf in the fall season!
Falling leaves covered the fairways, tee boxes and rough. Lost two balls in the leaves, found seven balls while playing. Five balls were found in the fairways. Greens had many browned out areas and mud areas where there was no grass at all. Have golfed here before, when there was better conditions. It can be a fun course........but not today!
Practice
First time playing course, and it's been several weeks since last play. With that said, this course is good for stepping back in or keeping edge if need to get some swings in. Course needs help and one can see that grounds crew working on that. Overall, not bad, would and weather permitting, will play again.
The greens are basically mud. Not much turf left there
Good Value........Good Course
Was hesitant to come after reading earlier reviews but was glad i did..........I have worked on the maintainence side of the business and could tell that the tees,fairways,and greens had all been recently aerified which should bode well for them moving forward. The greens were by no means fast but they putted pretty true...........everything had been mowed out on a Monday which to me is very impressive for a small operation...........Friendly people inside and lots of beer choices..........I will definately be back
My favorite golf course!
Willow Run golf course is one of the best golf courses I have played. I have been playing there since I was in high school and it never disappoints! The staff is super friendly and helpful, and they make you feel so welcome. You can't beat the prices or the amazing course layout! I would definitely recommend this golf course for anyone looking to have a great time!
Just horrible
So my buddy booked us on this course. Let’s call him Mike. So mike was like, we have a tee time. I’m like, cool. Then I looked at the reviews of this place. I thought people were being pompous af with the reviews. But no, it was really that bad. My buddy, Mike, has been golfing since he was born. He never shot bogey on a par 4. But, with sticks and rocks in the way on the green, what’s a guy supposed to do. Now, I’m sitting here in the emergency room waiting area because my buddy, Mike, had a panic attack and is now depressed. Shame on you, Willow Run.
I have golfed there many times over the years - this was the first time it was in such terrible condition! The greens were in terrible shape
Not worth it
Just finished 9 holes at this course and the tee boxes and greens are absolutely terrible, grass around the greens were basically half mud half grass. Fairways weren't great either but somewhat playable. Every putt the ball looked like you were putting on rocks it was jumping so much. Definitely will not be back it's not even worth the $22
Greens
I've played this course many times in the past, however, this is the first time i have seen it in this condition. The Greens and tee boxes were in terrible shape. Unsuitable for play. We disappointed.
Amazing place!
I played all though high school and Willow run has always been a favorite for me! The staff is so friendly and they always make the experience as best as they possibly can for everyone that comes in. I tell all of my friends that golf that they should check it out. I will definitely be going back!
Course is very stressed out
Course has been beset with a lot of ailments this past season including too much rain early, covid shutdown and lack of money, vandalism of greens and fairways, pump and watering failure for two weeks, hottest and driest July/August in decades, and more. Unfortunately, it shows! Fairways, which were never great, have lots of bare spots. T-boxes are nominally OK. Cart paths are rough and bouncy. Greens are in very bad shape. Patchy bare spots, which cause a lot of bumpy rolls. It going to take a lot of attention, and the course needs a few breaks to go its way to get back. It's too bad, since the course is basically rather attractive on a hilly, wooded tract of property. Maybe next year will have better things in store. This can be a fun little course to play when time for nine is all you've got, but it needs a lot more work before it's really up to caliber. I'm conditionally recommending it for next year assuming a bounce-back. Will try again in 2021. I'm hoping for it to succeed.
