It's not easy to find your balls here at Willowick Golf Course, as the rough here is not just long but rich, with the sun shines on the dew, you hardly can find any balls even though you're just right on the edge of the fairways.
Meanwhile, there's zero water hazards here, and not much design, not even dogleg right or left, an easy course. (And I actually can't name one worth mentioning too much ....... )
Well, if there's one, Hole 16, a short Par 4, dog leg left, and the green is a little hill surrounded by beautiful trees.

Greens were punched last week, it didn't matter. Easy course 4.2/10 not a long course, every par 5 is reachable in 2 shots. Nice putting green and practice area. Clean restaurant and bar on a Friday. Good food, $1.25 sodas sell themselves. Love this place

This was our first time here in a couple of years. The fairways were greener than before and the greens were in great shape. We teed off at 8:50am. The course was packed, so it was not the fastest round. We got around in just over 5 hours. Know there are no rest rooms on the course, so plan your drinks accordingly. My only gripe on the day was regarding the restaurant. I called from the 9th tee and there was no answer (3 times). I called the Pro Shop and they said they would let them know I was calling and to call back in a few minutes. After teeing off, I called again as I walked to my ball, still no answer. I stopped at the restaurant after finishing #9 and there was a line to order. I just ordered Gatorade as any food would have taken too long. This is a great value for 18 holes and is in better shape than recent years. I recommend it for those getting into playing golf or players looking for a casual round.

Decided to walk on this past weekend before the rain, haven't played here in 10 years and it still looks the same. Greens were nice, Tee box was crap on most holes, fairways were good. For an afternoon weekend time pace wasnt too bad , back 9 slowed a bit . Back 9 had some asian couple playing around jumping random holes which was odd.
The rough could use some TLC along with the clubhouse and pro shop. holes are pretty tight with Tee boxes and greens side by side be prepared for crossfire.
Growing up down the street and from santa ana I really wish they would fix up willowick nicer.

Had a good time here. Reviews almost scared me away. We finished in 3 hours. The greens were nice, as well as the fairway. Yes - it wasn’t the typical “beautiful” course. More like a park. But for the price $35, including the cart, I feel it was a pretty good value. It was honestly not that bad. I have been to a worse course that should not have been a golf course.
