Willowbrook Country Club

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play Willowbrook Country Club for optimal conditions?

We always recommend visiting Willowbrook in late spring, specifically May, or early fall, around September. The fairways are lush, greens roll true, and the cooler temperatures make for a much more enjoyable round without the peak summer crowds. You'll find the course in its absolute prime during these windows.

What makes Willowbrook's course design truly unique, and are there any signature holes I should look out for?

Willowbrook truly shines with its dramatic elevation changes, especially on the back nine. Keep an eye out for the par-3 14th; it plays downhill over a natural ravine to a well-guarded green, demanding precision and a bit of nerve. It's a real beauty and a genuine test of your short iron game.

As a non-member, how can I get a tee time at Willowbrook Country Club?

While primarily a private club, Willowbrook does offer limited public play on select weekdays, usually Tuesdays and Thursdays, and occasionally Sunday afternoons. Your best bet is to call the pro shop directly a few weeks in advance; they're quite helpful and can advise on availability and current guest rates. Don't just show up expecting a walk-on.

Beyond the golf course, what other amenities does Willowbrook offer that enhance the visitor experience?

You absolutely must check out the newly renovated clubhouse dining room, "The Willow Grille," after your round. Their patio offers fantastic views of the 18th green and their post-round burger is genuinely one of the best you'll find anywhere. It's the perfect spot to unwind and discuss your birdies-or bogeys.

What should I expect regarding green fees and overall value when playing Willowbrook Country Club?

Expect green fees to be on the higher end for the region, typically ranging from $120-$180 for non-members, including a cart. However, for that price, you're getting impeccably maintained conditions, a challenging yet fair layout, and a truly upscale experience that feels worth every penny. It's a splurge, but one we consistently recommend.
