Willow Springs Golf Course Review

The greens, fairways, and tee boxes were in great shape. Would have given it 5 stars, but the snack bar is closed on Monday and Tuesday.

Staff in the clubhouse were friendly and helpful. No starter. Beautiful day but very busy and we started 15 minutes after our tee time because there was nobody managing the first hole. Not a big deal for me but certainly there were some angry golfers out there. Fairways were hard surfaced/very short grass. Greens were very fast. Tee boxes were in good shape. Push cart rentals were terrible but they were actually assembling new ones in the clubhouse for future use.

Greens and fairways are well kept. Great day of golf.

Magnificently maintained city course across the home of the San Antonio Spurs. Great rates at a course guaranteed to provide scratch golfers with an entertaining day as well as provide a fair challenge to the novice amongst us.

Fairways in great condition. Greens just plugged, OK, but bunkers were like hitting off sandstone.

It's a Muni. Clubhouse and bae and grill is very basic, no frills. The course is okay, with dry, hard packed fairways. Hit and miss with the fairway, and green conditions, probably more miss than hit. Fun times tho and the play is fun.

Great golf course and very affordable no driving range thoug takes a few holes to get warmed up

Very slow. Tee times were double booked. Common Alamo trail....if you need money that bad just increase prices. Your courses aren't that good anyway

One of my favorite public courses in San Antonio. The greens were in rough shape today, May 9, 2018, they looked cut too short. It's got a few long and straight holes, as well as some good technical dog legs, then throw in some elevation on approach for 9 & 18, this course has a variety that's enjoyable to play.

Went for the parking during a Spurs game. I really miss playing "Footgolf" at Willow.

Driving Range = No
Putting and chipping green = Yes
Bar and Grill = Yes

Overall I gave 4 out of 5 stars in regards to value. I am a member of the Alamo Trail and like to walk this course. It is long but even longer from the tips. You can see the improvements made; new bridges and new planted trees. I have played this course several times and it is one of my favorites on the trail. Fairways are open for the most part and greens are big and never in bad condition. I like the back 9 better then the front as there are more creeks and hazards that come into play. Pace of play is usually steady. I am not comparing to a resort course but gave 4 out 5 due to value (if trail member), friendly staff, and full service bar and grill. I would like to see a beer cart on weekends. Im surprised there is not one considering how busy it can get on a weekend morning.

Good bunch of people working course greens in great shape

Nice golf course, fast greens, open fairways, nice place to golf

Get ready for a long round. Played here 2 times. Dont understand why 5 sums are allowed here..

Greens were good, fairways a little spotty...but cool breezy day did not help

Nice layout that could be much better if the maintenance was stepped up. Very reasonable green fees, so I guess you get what you pay for. Pro shop has very little to offer, so make sure you have what you need.

A pleasant yet challenging place to play. High grass cut short & water or high ruff areas being transformed. Well manicured and carts are handicapped, giving us older & physically challenged golfer a closer view of the beautiful play ground. Very enjoyable including the low playing fees and replay fees.

First time on this course. Walked it on a nice early November day, not advisable in summer. Good greens for a muni, good speed. Has a lot of long par 4s, which gets a little redundant. Most have open fairways so good place to hit driver. Not much sand in bunkers. Staff were great.

I love this course, hard but fun. Perfect set-up of par4 & 5, decent shape greens and fairways

Had a great time. Weather was great. Course was nice! Great place. Challenging golf course!!

Nice course some greens are almost in perfect conditions. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Cheeseburgers are great as well. The cook can use some help at lunch time. Overall a good experience.

So far best greens and fairways...awesome on Alamo Trials

2nd best course after Brackenridge of all the ACGT golf courses. It's in great shape. Plays pretty long and it's pretty wide open in most holes.

Decent course. The downside was the tee time managment. My tee time was delayed 55 minutes due to the course overextending themselves with 2 morning tournaments. I expect better from any course. This will detour me from playing here again.

Course was in great shape. Never had to wait all day. I love the layout of this golf course.

Still a good Golf course, good greens, but needs a bit more grass.

The course is in excellent shape. A fully enjoyable round.

Very friendly staff, will help you, and are nice and social. The front nine, however, is crap. It is literally a trash yard around the fairways, and not pretty. But, the greens are nice. The back nine is pretty solid, but still, outside trash is all over the course at times. No help for navigating the holes. Makes it difficult with many dog leg fairways. It could be good, but prices are very detracting. $50 to walk 18 and rent crap clubs. Would recommend if you have money and don't care where you play. Some decent, long holes overall though...
I would say
Distance-5 stars
Scenery-1 star(trash everywhere)
Mapping/hole guidance-2 stars
Greens-5 stars
Prices-2 stars

Very nice greens. Rolling really well. Course is on very good shape.

Challenging fun course. We played after 2 weeks of rain and 1 day to dry out. Grass was way too high. Will go back.

The course is in great condition, the staff is done.

This course was ok. For being right across the street from the AT&T center, it was not as nice as I thought it was supposed to be. There was not a cart girl and the club house was a little below average. The equipment (carts and GPS) was on the nicer side which is what I expected but the rest feel short of my expectations. The greens were maintained but not outstanding.

Course is in very good shape as of December 2015. Proshop staff very helpful and courteous.
Bryan (assistant manager) should be a trainer so all the Trail courses would provide the best service.

For being 1 day after a major rain hit here, it was in goid shape. Staff was friendly, good snack bar. City course, rates are reasonable. Come loose and prepared, NO DRIVING RANGE. Recommend playing.

Great history at thusbcourse which brings a feeling of happiness and can't help but feel like you're playing history. Highly recommended!

Wounded Warrior Project's time for us to have a blast and we did. Thanks WWP!

Beautiful grounds, remarkably cool in the afternoon, it's a surprise in the shadows of the Spurs center

Willow is one of the better golf courses in town. Greens are in great shape, and the course can play loooooong from the tips. Nice staff, starter needs a hearing aid though :-)

Played here last Sunday for the first time. For a municipal course, WS is not bad. Scenic, plenty challenging (for me, especially!), and reasonably priced. I think it ran about $47 including a cart. A couple of negatives--fairway grass was okay but too riddled with weeds, especially nutsedge, and don't get far off the fairways if you know what is good for you. Greens were still recovering from aeration, so they were not in great shape and yet very fast. No beverage cart in Texas in the summertime is just plain cruel and unusual. Food in the grill was good--I had a delicious breakfast taco, freshly cooked up. All in all, not a bad course, but certainly not something special.

A favorite of the city courses. Great layout. Beware of the beastly #2.

I know it is winter, but this is as poor I've seen this course in years. No grass on the fairways & the greens might as well be wooden floors.

Ok condition but cheap and good greens for February

Course was in great condition and fun for a municipal course, but beware of rude patrons. I played 9 holes, 3 over par in 1 hour and 20 minutes on a late Sunday afternoon with almost an empty course and yet I was still hit into on two occasions. Neither party apologized. I can only imagine what the crowd is like during more peak playing hours.

This course is a great value for the cheaper rate, but in terms of overall experience, you get what you pay for.

I thought the greens were a bit fast and the fairway grass was, well, interesting it's not a bad course but the inconsistency of the greens speed was, well, interesting. Not a bad course overall.

Great course a little overpriced. Greens are fast and well maintained, fairways are firm too. Great people running the club house.

Greens are great but the price to play is unreasonable high. If I want to pay that. I could go to brack and pay a lil less. But all and all great greens

Nice place to play. Greens were in good condition considering the time of year.

We enjoyed the course but not the two snakes we saw. Best to stay in the middle. Great folks with making accomodations to still allow people to

This course has a nice layout. It is not a difficult course.

Considering this time of year the course is in good shape.

a great go to for a round of golf. I have been going here for at least thirty years. The staff is very professional and they take good care of you and the course.

Course is in decent shape for winter. They have a practice green and pitching green. No driving range though. They also have a grill. Had some upgrades done to the course. Fairly open type course and several dog legs scattered around. Fun to play.

Not in the greatest shape, but we're playing in December.

Beautiful course... nice greens Disrespectful golfers

Awesome course, hole 2 is the longest par 5 in San Antonio. Worth the price.

Course is challenging and well kept in spite of the Texas heat and covidity, another spectacular establishment that scratches that itch when golf is the only thing on your mind

Very solid track for the price. I was impressed with the maintenance following weeks of rain in San Antonio. Grades are below; keep in mind this is after 15+ inches of rain the last 14-18 days.

Greens: A-
Fairways: B+
Tees: B
Rough: B (They are working on this to get caught up)
Bunkers: B- (Due to rain)
Value: B+
Pace: great for a weekday. I was playing solo and was waved through 2-3 groups with no issue. Settled in behind a twosome but I was taking my time.

First course I ever played back in 1968. Went home for my 50th HS reunion and booked a tee time with my son. So looking forward to playing it again. Unfortunately, after 4 holes, the sky opened up and we had a torrential downpour. So much for that. I will make sure to try again on my next visit home.

Very nice and challenging course has good elevation challenges well kept the only down side is if there is an event going on at AT@T center parking is slim.

Played in a tournament there - course in good condition.
