Lots of Improvements

Congratulation Willow Spring Staff !! I have been playing here maybe 2 to 3 times a year over the last 20 yrs on account its only 4 miles from my home and I can say this is the best condition I have ever seen this course . Ownership change a few years ago and you can see the difference . I am not going to get into details, but the course is still a challenge and a few of the holes are still tight, but the conditions were very good. A few greens still have some issues but it did not impact my game at least. The range is closed in the morning on Tuesday for mowing which was also the day I was there and all the fairways were freshly cut.. Just note , if you miss the fairway, that 2nd cut is still a challenge in finding your ball and it helps to make a short yardage course play longer. Staff is very friendly and helpful . For the first time , I can say, I look forward to playing here again when I have limited amount of time to play. Also , thank you golfers for fixing your divots. Did not see too many today. Enjoy .

Course trash. People trash

How an executive course wouldn’t allow children under 7 is absolutely crazy. This is a par 60 course. How do you not allow kids? Absolutely ridiculous.

okay but they need many lawn mowers . . . .

I have to give the course the benefit of the doubt, we have had a lot of rain in the last week, so I can't really fault the course for being long and shaggy as they likely have not been able to mow, but when i say long and i mean everything was long - the tee boxes (2-3"), the fairways (2-3"), the greens (3/4")and OMG the rough had to be 6 or 7" deep, which made all balls disappear instantly.

I have played here about 15 times and the pace of play was long, about 45 minutes longer than usually would be expected for such a short course.

Good place to use your irons a lot.

Narrow cut fairways with long rough

I don't plan to ever play this course again as it does not fit my game. The rough way too long with narrow fairways You can hit a fairly good shot, be in the rough just off the fairway and lose your ball.

Good Little Course

Great for par three and short game practice. No liquor license right now so soft drinks only.

Mid day round

Great opportunity to take my 10 y/o son along. Mix of par 3's and 4's so not too much length for him to navigate which was perfect. Course is showing improvement in upkeep and appears headed in the right direction.

Short well-maintained course

Beautiful course with few frills but nice people and good vibe. No snack shop or beer while they wait for license. We’re going back soon!
