Willow Ridge Golf & Country Club

Frequently Asked Questions

When's the best time of year to play Willow Ridge for ideal conditions?

You'll find Willow Ridge truly shines from late May through early October. The fairways are lush, the greens roll true, and the Canadian weather is perfect for a full round without the intense heat you might find further south. We recommend booking a morning tee time in September for crisp air and stunning fall foliage.

What kind of challenge can I expect from Willow Ridge's course design?

Willow Ridge offers a delightful mix of tree-lined holes and more open, links-style stretches, demanding both precision and power. The back nine, particularly holes 14 through 16, features some tricky water hazards that will test your shot-making. Don't let the scenic views distract you from the subtle breaks on these greens.

Is Willow Ridge Golf & Country Club accessible to non-members, and what are the typical green fees?

While it's a country club, Willow Ridge does offer limited public tee times, usually on weekdays and select weekend afternoons. We advise calling ahead or checking their website well in advance, especially during peak season, as they prioritize members. Expect green fees to be in the CAD $80-120 range, which we think is fair for the course quality.

What's a unique feature or "must-see" hole at Willow Ridge that sets it apart?

You absolutely have to experience the par-3 8th hole-it's their signature. It plays over a natural ravine to a well-guarded green, offering incredible views of the surrounding Canadian landscape. It's a true risk-reward shot that you'll be talking about long after your round.

Beyond the golf, what amenities does Willow Ridge offer for a complete country club experience?

After your round, we highly recommend grabbing a drink and a bite at The Willow Grill, their clubhouse restaurant. Their patio overlooks the 18th green and is perfect for recounting your best shots. They also have excellent practice facilities, including a full driving range and chipping area, if you want to fine-tune your game.
