Hole MAP
Hole 1
Hole Name
From The Tee There is a lateral water hazard running across
From The Fairway the fairway, about 230 yards distance from the white tees. Choose your club wisely here as the woods run the full length of the left side of this fairway
On The Green but a well-placed tee shot will leave an excellent birdie opportunity with a short iron approach to the green of this par 4.
Hole 2
Hole Name
From The Tee A straight away drive par 5 hole with out of bounds left. You’re far better off leaving it a little right, than flirting with the disaster-welcoming left side of the hole. If you’re BIG, and you’ve had that second bowl of Wheaties…you just might get to the dance floor with only two whacks. Just don’t plan on it. Good luck!
From The Fairway
On The Green
Hole 3
Hole Name
From The Tee The shortest hole on the course. An accurate shot is required to master this par 3.
From The Fairway
On The Green Avoid being long or shots toward the left side of the bunker, as it slopes toward the woods and sure trouble. Checking the pin location is a must as there is a swail on the front of the green and a large ridge toward the back two-thirds of this green. Control and club selection means everything on this short hole.
Hole 4
Hole Name
From The Tee Woods and tall heather run the length of the entire left hand side.
From The Fairway This is a relatively short hole, making your club selection a priority once again. The green is accessible to the golfer who can work the shot from right to left, but a driver is not necessary unless you have that ability. A well-placed tee shot to the middle of the fairway will allow your approach shot to be made.
On The Green The green slopes quite severely from right to left and depth is quite long.
Hole 5
Hole Name
From The Tee Although this hole only measures 338 yards from the blue tees,
From The Fairway it plays much longer due to the fairway being up hill. This dogleg right par 4 might entice you to cut the corner in an attempt to reach the green in one. Instead,
On The Green follow the sighting stick to avoid the heather and deep sand bunkers at the front of this green, unless you’re daring of course!
Hole 6
Hole Name
From The Tee The shortest par 4 of the course makes accuracy critical. The tee shot is made from an elevated tee with woods and water on the left and heather on the right.
From The Fairway
On The Green The green is very reachable for the longer hitters but the fairway narrows significantly from 100 yard marker in. The green slopes quickly from the back to the front making your putts and approach shots an experience. Once again, going long on this hole will be your misfortune.
Hole 7
Hole Name
From The Tee Two options are presented for your tee shot. Left of the bunker in the rough is a shorter shot or you can play
From The Fairway over the bunker which will put you in the fairway for a very reachable second shot to the green.
On The Green This green is very small and usually very fast. Being long on this approach shot will only put you out of play and looking for another ball. Par on this par 4 is a very good score.
Hole 8
Hole Name
From The Tee With a sloping green from the back to the front and sand bunkers along its left side, this par 3 can be a little intimidating. Birdies are in the mix if you can avoid the hazards in front of you and play the wind to your advantage.

On The Green With a sloping green from the back to the front and sand bunkers along its left side, this par 3 can be a little intimidating. Birdies are in the mix if you can avoid the hazards in front of you and play the wind to your advantage.
Hole 9
Hole Name
From The Tee A par 4 hole that is very attainable with two extremely well-placed shots to the green.
From The Fairway Hazards on the left and water directly in front of you will come into play. The approach is bordered by sand bunkers on the left and right sides of the fairway.
On The Green Being long here to this elevated green will only put you in the club house for an early snack and a chat with the staff.
Hole 10
Hole Name
From The Tee This par 3 boasts the largest green at Willow Wood.
From The Fairway The fairway was replaced with a pond and the approximately 150 yard carry from the white tees is all in your club selection.
On The Green If you use nature’s ball wash however, there is a drop area on the other side of the water when approaching the green.
Hole 11
Hole Name
From The Tee This hole appears to be straight away, but don’t let that fool you.
From The Fairway Sand bunkers to your left and out of bounds to your right are compounded by a fairway that steadily proceeds uphill. Again, follow the sighting sticks for accurate ball placement. A par 4 on this hole is a good score.
On The Green
Hole 12
Hole Name
From The Tee Big Hitters, let ‘er rip! This par 5 is very reachable if you can stay out of the bunkers. Don’t be long on your second shot and that birdie is in the bag.
From The Fairway
On The Green
Hole 13
Hole Name
From The Tee Again, let the driver go here, just not too far right as the heather is in play.
From The Fairway
On The Green There’s no trouble here to the left. The green is very long so club selection is important. Be sure to check your pin placement. Just a hint, this is prO-Bably the fastest green on the course!
Hole 14
Hole Name
From The Tee The most difficult par 4 hole on the back nine.
From The Fairway A slight dogleg right fairway with nothing but heather and woods on your right. Sand bunkers block your approach from the left side of the fairway and being long here will only have you reaching for that crying towel.
On The Green Your approach shot plays slightly uphill and the green slopes from right to left. Birdie here will gain a stroke on the rest of the playing field.
Hole 15
Hole Name
From The Tee This short dogleg right par 4 can produce an excellent birdie opportunity for the long ball hitter who can play the cut.
From The Fairway The safe play is left center of the fairway leaving a short iron to the green. The sighting stick will guide you toward the easiest approach.
On The Green Being too long here will only have you reaching for another ball, as the bunkers drop off behind the green toward the woods.
Hole 16
Hole Name
From The Tee Your target off the tee is over the
From The Fairway fairway bunker at the extremely large tree on the right side of the fairway. However too long and right of the tree can reach the hazard and out of bounds. The hole is a dogleg left and a well-placed tee shot will leave a great birdie or eagle opportunity. The second shot is uphill and plays longer than it appears,
On The Green especially to a back pin. It is recommended that you stay below the hole on the red pin placements as this green slopes severely from back to front.
Hole 17
Hole Name
From The Tee A straight forward par 3. Avoid long and left, as the weeds are a hazard that come into play. It may be short but not easy by any means.
From The Fairway
On The Green
Hole 18
Hole Name
From The Tee From the back tee, this can be the most intimidating shot of the day. To carry the hazard is only about 150 yards to the left and 180 yards to the right.
From The Fairway The line is just to the right of the left side fairway bunker. A good tee shot will leave a short iron in and another birdie opportunity.
On The Green The second shot is all uphill so take enough club. Birdie here is a great way to end the round. Being too long will get you introduced to the clubhouse staff.
