Well maintained greens.
Greenskeeper is doing a great job.

Pro shop staff is friendly.

There is not much airflow in restroom.
It smells.

If you can find the money, kill all the gophers. Re-level the fairways to eliminate the thousands of gopher hills and depressions. Put down new turf..
I love this old course and it deserves to be restored. Greens are good but slow.

Agree with other reviews

Like others have said, this course is in desperate need of TLC. I will say that the greens are nice, and well maintained but the tee boxes and fairways are destroyed. Fun layout, course has a lot of potential. I had my share of fun here, but prefer to play elsewhere

Very nice and friendly people at pro shop, but fairway is too bumpy

People working at pro shop are very nice and friendly. But all fairways are so bumpy and it is not comfortable at all to ride.

Holiday Golf

I haven't played Willowick for many years and I must say that the conditions of the course, especially fairways was terrible. Not sure if it is a lack of money to keep things up or if someone just doesn't take pride in their business. Having golfed out of california, I can safely say that the courses, Willowick, can't hold a candle to the conditions of these courses. I will golf there again, just a shame that the average guy with a limited budget has courses like this one to pick from.

Fair Day

This was my second time playing the course, it needs some work. Pace of play was horrendous but the players were all understanding. The course has a pretty descent layout but the fairways need some grass and the bunkers, which I found alot of, need some sand.
