Willow Hill
Sorry to say that the golf course was not up to my expectations, or to how I have found it in the past. Unfortunately, the traps have not been maintained for quite some time, tremendous amount of weeds. And the tees need some work also. Hopefully it’s just a matter of being short staffed, and they can overcome the present condition
We apologize for the disappointment with the current condition of our golf course. We appreciate your feedback and will make sure to address the issues with the traps, weeds, and tees as soon as possible. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
Friendly staff and course
Our father/son foursome enjoy the friendliness of the location, staff and course: the course itself feels removed from the area due to the elevated height . Looking forward to see it when construction is completed.
Thank you for visiting us at Willow Hill Golf Course. We appreciate your positive rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.

A HAPPY OCTOGENARIAN GOLFER
My friends and I enjoyed playing at Willow Hill Golf course since it was under new management. The staff (front desk, pro shop, fields) is courteous, helpful). You just want to come back to play on this beautiful Scottish links golf course located on a hill in Northbrook, Illinois with a great view of the beautiful Lady of the Brook Church and the Chicago Skyline. Play the nine hole course once and you will come back.

Nice course slow play
I played willow hill many times but lately they have raised the price so it’s no longer a good value compared to other nine whole courses in the area
Compared to Tam, Billy Caldwell, ect it’s about 15 dollars more.
The pace of play is slow as well many new or challenged golfers on course playing from incorrect tees it you can’t get there in two shots on a par 4 move up.
I hope they have some better prices in the fall then I will play it again but it’s not worth more than 24 bucks to walk
We apologize for any inconvenience and understand your concerns regarding the recent increase in prices at Willow Hill. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration when reviewing our pricing for the fall season. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
A nice surprise
I’ve been playing this course for 25 years, it’s a simple 9 hole course that was never in good shape. But I played it this morning and it was in the best shape I’ve ever seen it in. The greens were in great shape, ball marks were repaired, bunkers were raked, and no goose crap on the fairways. A nice Surprise!

Poor Conditions
Played here a few years ago had the feeling of Scottish courses. Played last month and was embarrassed at the poor conditions. The “dirt” traps were a joke. More sand in my yard than the traps. The tall grasses were cut down to where there were bare spots.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize for any negative experience you had during your recent visit to our golf course. We appreciate your feedback and will work on improving the conditions of our traps and tall grass areas.
We love hearing about our golfers' experiences. Please tell us more about what you enjoyed during your round. Thanks for choosing Willow Hill Golf Course!
Good intermediate course
Tricky in spots but no major trees or water. This is an ideal course for the novice golfer..

New course management changes headed in right direction
Since the currant course management took ownership, the changes made have been positive. Condition of the course is a lot better than it was and cutting down the knee-deep fescue grass makes the course more playable and more appealing to the eye. Alot of other work has been done with new tee boxes and less weeds in the grass. I look forward to seeing what other improvements are in store in the near future.
One caution is to control the cost of the green fees. I paid $23 on a deal on teeoff.com Regular green fee is $30. Getting a little steep for 9 holes. CAUTION!
Thank you so much for leaving us a review. We value our customer experience and we hope to see you back at Willow Hill Golf Course!

Willow Hill is an underappreciated gem
I have been a fan of Willow Hill Golf Course for at least a couple of decades. Lately, the grounds crew has upped its game, so to speak, as the course is usually in excellent condition. It is links style, though the punitive tall grasses have been removed from the rough areas, or they are kept mowed to a reasonable height. I suspect that its history as a landfill keeps some golfers away. But it has a spectacular view of the Chicago skyline, and often, if you can get there in mid-morning, the play is very fast. It also has a driving range (unusual for a 9-hole course), and a new dome, though I haven't stopped in there yet.
We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at Willow Hill Golf Course. We look forward to seeing you on the course soon for another great experience!
We would love to hear more about your positive experience on our course. Thanks for golfing at Willow Hill Golf Course!
