Willow Creek Golf Course
About
Situated between Greenville and Spartanburg, Willow Creek Golf Course is a favorite course amongst many area players. The course has a classic layout that starts out gently with a player-friendly front nine but then becomes much more challenging on the back nine. The layout is a seemingly mild 6,890 yards from the back tees but it can feel longer because of all the elevation changes you'll encounter. It's a golf course that will appeal to beginners but advanced players will also enjoy the many risk-reward opportunities that can be found throughout. Water hazards come into play on eight holes and there is a slew of strategically placed bunkers lurking along the greensides. The par-5 fifth hole is Willow Creek Golf Course's signature. This 516-yard hole tumbles across rolling hills with a stream that cuts right through the fairway.

Very pleasant round with good weather and a challenging course
Great Course
This is a very nice courier all the way around. Beautiful scenery, greens are fast and roll true, fairway was in great shape. It is a pretty open course so good for all skill levels. I recommend playing this course if you haven’t already. Only negative I have to say is the stater approached us at hole 11 and stated we had a few open holes in front of us and if we could speed it up. However we had been waiting on group in front of us and were playing at proper pace.

Great course
Course was in great condition. Friend arrived a little late and starter was very accommodating despite being reallt busy. Would highly recommend the course
Great course, spectacular layout
I have played out at Willow Creek several times and always enjoy it. Course is currently in great shape. Greens are super fast and firm currently making it very challenging but still fair.
Greens were great. Fairways need the weather to change. Practice tees are a mess-again, need weather to change.
Slow group in front of us had us waiting on every tee. Sometimes the group behind was waiting with us.
Chilly Round of golf
Great staff and golf was in good condition considering the time of yesr
Grouchiest Staff in the Upstate
If you like feeling like your stepdad is mad at you, you'll love this place. The course itself is a great spot, been coming here for years, but the consistent problem for me is the staff. They act as if you're a burden to them and are downright unfriendly.
Deserve a refund.
Our tee time was 1:10. They were short on carts and we finally got one right at our tee time. That didn’t matter, because we still waited another 20 minutes to tee off. Pace of play was awful. A marshall showed up not to check on the pace, but to inform us that all carts had to be in by 5:15. We had to cut the round short by 4 holes in order to get in on time. I am extremely disappointed in the customer service here.
The course is nice, they had just cut the greens so they were pretty quick.. I wish they would tell you before booking a tee time if the high school is playing.. pace of play was super slow, but that’s understandable considering the high school girls and boys were playing…
Hi, u672216540. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at Willow Creek Golf Course. We look forward to seeing you on the course soon for another 5-star experience!
