The Willows

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best time of year to play The Willows in Canada?

We always recommend late May through early October for The Willows. You'll catch the course in prime condition, avoiding the early spring chill and late fall frost, with the vibrant Canadian foliage as a bonus.

What makes The Willows' course layout unique or particularly challenging?

The Willows truly stands out with its intricate marshland hazards that come into play on nearly half the holes. You'll need precision off the tee, especially on the back nine where the meandering Willow Creek demands strategic layups and carries.

What's the typical cost for a round at The Willows, and is it good value?

Expect green fees at The Willows to be in the mid-range for a premier Canadian course, typically around $120-$180 CAD depending on the season and time of day. We think it's excellent value for the meticulously maintained conditions and challenging design you'll experience.

Is The Willows a walkable course, or should I plan on taking a golf cart?

While The Willows isn't overly hilly, there are some significant transitions between holes, especially on the front nine. We recommend taking a cart if you prefer to conserve energy, but it's absolutely a walkable course if you're up for the exercise and want to truly soak in the natural surroundings.

What's the post-round experience like at The Willows' clubhouse?

After your round, the clubhouse at The Willows offers a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere. We love grabbing a pint and their famous 'Willow Burger' on the patio, which overlooks the 18th green and provides a perfect spot to recount your birdies and bogeys.
