The whiteboard is between the pro shop and the door to access the course. Judging from reviews posted Friday I was not the only one getting the clear message of my value as a member. Several other reviews point to the pain point created by the installation of GPS geofencing several months ago that still could use some fine tuning. Most who play the course frequently know the points on the cart path where it is best to avoid the irritation of the system by steering around it. It is also best to ignore the traditional signage for returning to the cart path from the fairway because the geofencing frequently doesn’t match the physical signage. Players drive carts by referring to the red line on the system’s screen instead. As for me, I renewed my membership because of my fellow members. Not because of management’s response to constructive criticism. Clearly they have no interest in reading their own reviews.

$70 to spend half the round with the cart barking at us to get on the care path despite never leaving the cart path? Then the Bev cart attendant refusing to turn around to meet us at the next tee box so we could purchase drinks.... This round could have been better. My photo is were the cart finally stopped barking at us because "we were on the cart path".

Willow Creek Golf Club
Greer, SC
As we near the end of winter, we're on the hunt for a fun nearby course. Winner, winner, chicken dinner! This fun and challenging 18-hole layout winds around a neighborhood on the outskirts of Greenville, SC. Designed by Tom Jackson, this little treat allows for target golf and full throttle shots. A couple of years back, they renovated the greens, making them much harder to hold longer iron shots. The greens roll true, but as mentioned before, they are much firmer now. When the wind blows, this course tends to play a little harder due to a few holes being exposed. It's a bit of a challenge to walk but can be done. Bring your friends and don't worry about the round breaking your bank. It's financially friendly, and the employees are laid back and genuine.

Toby Louris (TobydeTiger) Disappointing Experience for the Price
I was really looking forward to playing Willow Creek, but the experience fell short. The course was in poor condition — fairways were patchy, several greens were damaged, and overall maintenance seemed neglected. For $70, I expected a much better playing surface.
What made matters worse was the check-in experience. I had booked online, and instead of a friendly greeting, I was met with attitude from the staff member, as if using their own online system was a hassle for him.
At that price point, both the course and the customer service should be far better. Golf is supposed to be a relaxing escape, but this round felt more like a disappointment from the start.

Ladies and gentlemen, it's dad again. I had the pleasure of teeing off at the Willow Creek Golf Course in Spartanburg, South Carolina, and let me tell you, it was a hole-in-one experience. This course has everything a golfer could want, from challenging holes to stunning views.
Now, before we get into the specifics, I have to throw in a few dad jokes about golf. You know, the ones about how "the best way to improve your golf game is to play with someone who's better than you" or "why did the golfer wear two pairs of pants? In case he got a hole in one!" Okay, okay, I'll stop now. Let's get back to the review.
The Willow Creek Golf Course is a beautifully maintained 18-hole course that offers a variety of challenges for golfers of all skill levels. From the moment I stepped onto the first tee, I knew I was in for a treat. The fairways were lush and green, and the greens were fast and true.
One of the things that sets Willow Creek apart from other courses is its layout. The course winds through rolling hills and forests, offering stunning views at every turn. But don't let the scenery fool you - this course is no walk in the park. There are plenty of challenging holes that will test your skills and keep you on your toes.
One of my favorite holes was the par-4 10th. This hole requires a long drive over a pond, followed by a precise approach shot to a green surrounded by bunkers. It's a hole that requires both skill and strategy, and it's a great example of the challenges that Willow Creek has to offer.
But it's not just the course that makes Willow Creek a great experience. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and they go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need for a successful round. The clubhouse is also top-notch, with all the amenities you could want, from a pro shop to a restaurant.
Let's not forget about the value. The prices at Willow Creek are more than reasonable, especially considering the quality of the course. It's a great option for anyone looking to get in a round of golf without breaking the bank.
Of course, no golf course is perfect, and there were a few minor issues that I noticed. Some of the bunkers could use a little more sand, and there were a few areas where the rough could have been trimmed a bit more. But these are small complaints in the grand scheme of things, and they certainly didn't detract from my overall enjoyment of the course.
In the end, I would highly recommend the Willow Creek Golf Course to anyone looking for a great round of golf in the Spartanburg area. It's a course that offers both beauty and challenge, and it's clear that the staff takes great pride in maintaining it to a high standard. So grab your clubs, hit the links, and don't forget to bring your best golf dad jokes along for the ride.
