Played 3/27...the day AFTER they aerated. We completely forgot to check this site. The greens were punched with big holes and as expected, very very crappy to putt on. Other than the greens, the course was in excellent shape. Give it at least a month (as that is usually how long the goose takes to fully recover) and it will be first rate again.

Played 3/14. The greens are s-l-o-w. The fairways are coming back from winter conditions. Can't complain too much for $16 afternoon rate.

Played 3/4. The course conditions were nice. The fairways were smooth and allowed good roll. The greens were not as damaged as others reported. They rolled very true to the line and very consistent hole-to-hole. The wind was kicking so the front 9 was a bit difficult. But the back 9 seemed to be better shielded from the wind. Good times...nothing to complain about.

Played 2/5. You don't really play willowick for the excellent conditions (the fairways are pretty much brown, the greens are a bit bumpy). you play for the good times a classic old muni offers -- wide fairways, generous sized greens, and old, mature trees which make you suffer if your ball lands anywhere near them with their big branch overhangs). As usual, it's very easy to play on the weekdays. walk on after 2pm and you will finish if you're fast enough.

Played 1/29. All the fairways are dormant -- brown, stringy grass. It is quite a weird experience to see just the fairways brown and everything else green. The greens are rolling great. This is always a fun course. Very challenging with the elevated tees and tight fairways. Service is great.

Played 1/27. Wanted to play here after reading all the good reviews. I was a bit disappointed by the conditions. Could it be because of "winter" conditions? I don't know but the fairways were not in good condition and there were gopher holes everywhere. The greens were not receptive of and kind of shot as approach shots consistently rolled through the greens. One bit of advice we got and played true: ALL putts break towards the air force base. I hate to say it, but it seems like the "locals" rule the place as there was a group playing behind us and they had no problems voicing their opinions on the pace of our play -- despite the fact that we finished in 3 hours 45 minutes as a foursome! The couple we were playing with said "that guy" always says something. How disappointing for him. I can't really recommend this course because of the bad condition and the attitude from locals.

I cannot recommend playing this course enough. The conditions are excellent from tee to green. Everything is set up perfectly. Just don't complain about not having a driving range...there is none so expect that before you come out. Book online and save extra money. Seriously...come out and play and you won't be disappointed.

Played 1/15. I haven't played this course in years because of the bad condition always seemed to be in. Came back to play on a couple other people's recommendation last month. Boy were they wrong. Still the same bad conditions. Tee boxes not always level or grassy. Fairways were horrible -- uneven, dirt/thin spots everywhere. The greens were very slow and did not roll consistently. The course still has the "cramped" feeling -- like they are squeezing in the holes in the least amount of space as possible. I've played smaller courses that seemed bigger. I would not recommend playing here. Even beginners would not enjoy it as the fairways are very narrow.

Played 11/5. The course is coming back nicely from overseeding. The fairways are smooth and let your ball run pretty good. The rough is almost non-existent as they seem to still be growing out. The greens are very slow compared to the summer time speeds but do roll very consistently and are butter smooth otherwise. It's cart path only until around Thanksgiving, so do yourself a huge favor and walk instead of carting..you will enjoy the course more and you won't be doing the army walk back and forth from the farside of the fairway back to your cart on the path. If you want to wait until the conditions are back to 100%, the always helpful staff told us come back around Thanksgiving...what a great thing to be thankful for!

Played 10/22. The conditions of the course were really nice. The greens rolled great and did not have too many ball marks. The fairways were cut perfectly. The wind was blowing so that made it a bit more challenging. There are numerous doglegs throughout the course so ball placement is key. Most holes are very very secluded and you really do fell like you're playing somewhere very special...but some holes you can see all the houses being built -- strange variety there. Bring your A game if you want to score well. Oh, the marshall is going going up and down the cart path during the first 2 holes but is never to be seen again after that...which is pretty bad because our round took 5 hours to finish

Played 10/14. The course is currently going through overseeding and punching of greens -- so the conditions were crappy at best. It was cart path only and the greens were very bumpy due to the punching. Although the course has potential. The layout is interesting and the greenside bunkers will challenge you on your approach -- especially the par 5 17th. There are nice elevated tees and greens to test you...and a few fairways with large undulations to test your ability to place your tee shots and/or hit from uneven lies. I will definitely come back in a month or more to see how everything comes back. Enjoyed the round despite the conditions. Finished in 4 hours playing with a newbie...could be a very fast course to play otherwise.

Played 9/23. Do yourself a huge favor and come out to play this course. It is in great condition. The fairways are nice and clean. The greens roll true and fast. Although, it would take a very high ball to stick on the green -- they aren't completely receptive to lower struck balls. The 18th green is a definitely risk-reward par 5. Beautiful surroundings and the staff is excellent. No driving range to warm up...but you should utilize the putting green as it is a great indication of how fast the greens are on the course. Hurry up and play here before all the houses start popping up and ruin the desert atmosphere.
