Willow Run - a better 9'er 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Sep 2, 2008 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

This is definitely one of the better 9'ers out there (now 12 holes). It should be considered a mostly wooded course with decent elevation utilizing some ridges in the park along the lake. There is very decent balance of shot selection from right, left, long, and very short holes. It is definitely an ace race course.

Cons:

Only 9 holes (technically 12, but I mainly played the 9 hole layout). Not extremely long or great distance. Some short holes are far too short. Trash and traffic are very high here due to it being a newbie-friendly course. While it is right on the lake, it does not come into play, what a negative! While the use of ridges is decent elevation, it lacks extreme elevation. The greens are not risky, and mostly wide open.

Other Thoughts:

I simply can't rate it higher due to it only being 9 holes and I try to review from the perspective of a travelling player. It is definitely worth a shot if you have extra time, but not worth a special trip without hitting up a better course in the area. The location, woods, shot selection, etc are all very sound. It would be great 18 hole course if the lake also came into play more. Swimming afterward is nice.
