Willow Brook Country Club

Frequently Asked Questions

How challenging is Willow Brook Country Club for a mid-handicapper?

Willow Brook offers a fantastic test, especially if you're not consistently hitting fairways. The course demands precision off the tee, as many holes are tree-lined with strategically placed bunkers that gobble up errant shots. You'll find the greens are quick and subtly contoured, so your short game better be sharp.

What's the most memorable hole at Willow Brook, and why?

Without a doubt, the par-3 14th hole is Willow Brook's signature. It plays over a picturesque pond to a two-tiered green, often with a swirling breeze that makes club selection a real puzzle. It's a beautiful, nerve-wracking shot that you'll remember long after your round.

When is the best time of year to play Willow Brook Country Club for ideal conditions?

We highly recommend visiting Willow Brook in late spring or early fall. The fairways are lush and firm, the greens roll true, and the weather is typically perfect for golf-not too hot, not too cold. You'll avoid the peak summer humidity and enjoy the course at its absolute best.

Can I play Willow Brook Country Club as a non-member, and what's the process?

Willow Brook is a private club, so you'll need to be invited by a current member to play a round. Your best bet is to network or inquire if they have any reciprocal agreements with your home club. It's an exclusive experience, so planning ahead with a member is key.

Beyond the course, what can I expect from the clubhouse and amenities at Willow Brook?

The clubhouse at Willow Brook is a classic-elegant yet welcoming, with fantastic views of the 18th green. We always enjoy a drink and a meal on the patio after a round; the food is excellent, and the service is impeccable. It's the perfect place to unwind and discuss your birdies-or bogeys.
