Willow Metropark Golf Course

Willow is a very fun and challenging track. It’s longer than Lake Erie and definitely has more challenge. Between the length and hole layouts, this course is a lot of fun. My personal favorite out of the downriver metropark courses. Only issue I have with this course is that if you’re a single they will force you to ride with a complete stranger, which is not okay because you pay a cart fee with a greens fee. If they’re going to make strangers share a cart, then you need to split the cart fee. Pace of play here is the real killer.

Price is the only reason for 2 stars. Got accused of slow play by Ron who then proceeded to follow us for 5 straight holes, sat at our tee box and our approach shots. I normally like this course and it’s in pretty decent shape for the price but will never be back. We were behind pace of play for one hole and got treated like we were doing it on purpose. We did not even have time to rake a bunker, fix a ball mark, or line up a putt without feeling like Ron was watching our every move. We were also notified that we would be starting after our booked tee time due to slow play in front of us but I guess our group was the only one they cared to monitor. I golf quite a bite and have never had a ranger act like this. Watch out for Ron if you choose to play here. We finished our round at 4.5 hours and another member of the staff agreed that there was no issue and 4-5 hours for a foursome to play 18 holes is expected.
