Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play Willow Brook Golf Course, and what should I expect?

We highly recommend visiting Willow Brook in late spring or early fall. The course conditions are typically pristine, and you'll avoid the peak summer humidity and crowds, making for a much more enjoyable round. Expect vibrant foliage in autumn and lush, fast greens in spring.

What's the signature challenge at Willow Brook, and how should I approach it?

The back nine at Willow Brook, particularly holes 14 through 16, is where the course truly tests your mettle with its dramatic elevation changes and tricky cross-bunkers. We advise taking an extra club on uphill shots and trusting your short game around those greens-side traps. Don't let the views distract you on the par-3 15th, it's tougher than it looks.

How much does a round at Willow Brook typically cost, and is it good value?

A round at Willow Brook usually falls into the mid-range category, often between $75-$120 depending on the day and time you play. We think it's excellent value for the quality of the course and the immaculate conditions you'll find. Look for twilight rates or weekday specials to get the most bang for your buck.

Beyond the golf, what unique amenities or experiences does Willow Brook offer?

Willow Brook's clubhouse is a real standout, offering a fantastic post-round experience with its locally sourced menu and a great craft beer selection. You'll also appreciate the expansive practice facility, which includes a dedicated short-game area that's perfect for honing your wedges before hitting the course. It's a welcoming spot to relax and recount your birdies (or bogeys).

What practical advice do you have for a first-time player at Willow Brook?

Bring plenty of balls, especially if you tend to spray it a bit-the tree lines on several holes are unforgiving. We also suggest walking the front nine if you're up for it, as it's quite walkable and offers a different perspective, but definitely grab a cart for the more undulating back nine. Pay attention to the pin placements; they can be deceptively tricky.
