This is a top notch 45 hole (2 full 18's) complex. The greens are excellent. They are firm smooth lush and roll true. Fairways are well watered but firmed up for summer but have a few brown spots. Great all around course. Some reviews claim over priced, but you get what you pay for. They have especially good twilight rates and other specials. Restaurant is also a top notch golf course eatery. Gina runs the bar and is always helpful and cheerful to all. Same with others and in the pro shop. If you are looking for a cheap cow pasture then golf elsewhere. Enjoy!!!!
The Willows Run 36 holes are a lot of fun. Wildlife can also be seen. The greens are very well kept and you need to keep your ball on the fairway as the rough is rough, but not gnarly. A single can usually just walk on without a reservation or tee time. This course is well maintained. The only issue to beware is the added taxes that are not normally listed as the City of Redmond collects taxes on top of the green fees.
We make a point of visiting a putt putt golf course virtually everywhere we travel. This one is in our backyard and it's one of the more fun, and certainly nice to play in a setting that reflects the Pacific Northwest, as opposed to one with treated lumber lanes and a rock here and there to avoid.
With a slope of 123, Willows is an average course. But, its well maintained. There are the right number of par 5 & 3 holes, four of each. I've had many animal spotting, including coyotes, beavers, owls, eagles, hawks and herons. Willows has two full 18hole courses, a par 3 course complete with water hazards and tree lined, and an excellent practice facility. Lastly, they have a miniature putting course that rivals any other and includes a grizzly bear cave.
With a variety of courses for all ages this complex is a great place to go if you like golf. The putting course is top notch and a lot of fun.
It's seriously overpriced, it's often understafffed, and the management is content to allow slow, slow, agonizingly slow play. Last time I hit the "call ranger" button the ranger drove over, told me to hurry up (um, there's 5 people on the green, yes FIVE and it's a par 3), and drove off.The course itself is designed to play "mean", which is to say small mistakes cost you the ball as well as the strokes. Part of that is the wilderness aspect of some of the course, where you're not supposed to go into the wetlands, and part is just due to the layout.Some could be ameliorated by different cutting, without giving away free strokes, though. They often push you out on the course "on time" even if you have to tee off the first hole with a 7 iron.It's two complete 18 hole courses, one medium-tough slopewise and one a bit tougher, but not by length. There is nothing much in the way of length here. It's usually in tip-top shape, I will say that.
The Willows Run Golf Course has some really enjoyable courses which won't eat your ball even if you're a 40 handicap.
Many golf courses are designed for the experienced, low handicap player. Only a few courses can claim to be family friendly. Willows Run Golf Course is family friendly. With areas devoted to miniature golf, to an excellent executive short course (mostly chipping and putting, no long drives are needed), to a full sized 18-hold golf course for the more adept player, Willows Run Golf Course has it all.I was visiting family and had only a few hours to explore the area and just enough time to play 18 holes of golf. Willows Run had an immediately available tee time, inexpensive rental clubs and cart, everything I needed to enjoy golf -- all at value pricing. Give this golf course a try, or better yet, bring your "I want to learn how to play" friends and enjoy a golf outing without the hassle and pressures of the courses catering to more serious players..
We eat here almost every time after golf. Last night 5/27/2013 we had two orders of nachos and some beers. Service was shaky. Nachos were soggy and boring. We have had great food herre but last night might have been the last time. nacho's were so soggy we didn't bother with a second round of beer. Would have been one star but crappy food saved us money on beer.
Had a super fun afternoon playing mini golf at this beautiful course. It was a perfect way to spend a day away from home. Clean and not crowded.
