Willowick is a great course when you need to work on your game. The fairways are wide and the course is short (6000 yards). The course is in good shape. The tee boxes are the only draw back (uneven an... Continue »

Went out 9/30/08. Haven't played the Wick for almost 7 yrs. Nothing has changed, but it is well kept for the amount of traffic it gets. The only real hazard that this course has are the errant shot... Continue »

While I don't play here very often, it's nice to have an easy track to play every so often to boost the ego. The course was in pretty decent condition, better than I remember it being. We were able to... Continue »

Played the wick for the first time yesterday. I understand this course has been in existence for around 75 years. The course was in very good condition and easy to walk as it is flat and for today's... Continue »

This was a very enjoyable, not over-challenging course. I had a great time, the fairways were often wide and straight. The greens are all a bit elevated so make sure your shot will hold. Some large... Continue »

A pretty straightforward course. Most holes are very straight, no real hazards. Beware of the huge bunkers on some holes. Most of the greens are elevated so any shots that are not on target tend to... Continue »

Played this course for the first time two fridays ago with a couple of friends from work.

Bring your helmet. This course is super small and it seems like each tee box abuts another green.

Comments: The Willowick golf Course in Santa Ana, CA is a pretty simple and straight forward golf course that should draw players looking for a full Par 72 course that they can bomb & gouge to their hearts content without the fear of hazards such as ravines, lakes, hills, eco-areas, etc.

The majority of the terrain in Willowick is flat with minimal topography features, you'll experience straight fairways the majority of the holes with only about two holes showcasing dogleg turns. To combat the fairly straightforward fairways, the designer placed some tough and tall bunkers smack dab fronting the green. A good majority of the greens have a huge sand trap right at the front making sure you do not try to lay up your shots, and if you try and blast it over prepare for a good many sloping areas around the green that will frustrate you to no ends when you place a good shot in the green and watch the ball roll a foot into the fringe and then roll down a hill 20 yards down hill.

The greens at the time we played in the afternoon had many "scar" marks from previous punches of the hole. The value was decent for $35.00 smack-dab in the middle of Santa Ana. For some reason our threesome was paired with two other walk-ons. We could've done with one, but at least the two guys were amicable and were just a touch better than us. The course also has a small driving range for players to warm up. Be careful in this course, I would rank this the most dangerous course in So. Cal since many of the tee off areas and greens are right next to each other so you can get pummeled by players are you tee off. There's also a lack of nets or trees/brushes in areas to protect the tee off areas from wayward shots, the day we played we saw many close-calls.

Summary: All in all Willowick Golf Course was a decent average course with no wow factor but if you're new or just looking to wail away on your shots then this is a good course to choose. Only full 18-hole, par 72 where I have not lost one ball. Simple layout but you still better play well if you want a good score.
