Willow Crest Golf Club — Restaurant in Westmont

It's a challenging track for sure. Each hole is a unique design. Greens are more undulating than most in the area. There are plenty of sand and water hazards.

Tee box distances are fair and cater to all skill levels of players. Super-long hitters may not like the tips since they are only around 6500 yards.

Staff was on top of their game. Marshall was touring the course, starter, pro shop, and beverage cart staff all working to make our round run as smoothly as possible. That said, we were waiting on several holes so expect a 5 hour round on crowded days.

I wanted to give the course 5 stars, but there were some maintenance issues that should be addressed. Cart paths could use some resurfacing. Some tee boxes were pretty torn up. And I don't understand why players can't fix ball marks. I must have repaired 3-5 marks on every green. I get the feeling the course gets a ton of play, and maintenance may not be able to keep up.

On the plus side: The golf carts were fantastic. Greens rolled true and consistently, rough was not too long. Fairways were well maintained for how much play the course gets. Sand in traps was good quality, maintained, and consistent throughout the course.

WCGC uses dynamic pricing, so expect to pay a lot more on popular play...

Discriminatory behavior.

I had a 7:08 AM tee time and was planning to rent a cart. However, even five minutes before my tee time, no carts had been assigned, so I approached the cart area to inquire. Before I could even ask, an older staff member shouted at me very aggressively, telling me that I was not allowed to enter that area. While I fully understand safety protocols, there was absolutely no need for such hostility.

What shocked me even more was that other customers — all white — were allowed to walk freely into the same area and even sit in the carts without being stopped or reprimanded. When I calmly asked the staff member why others were allowed but I was not, he became even more aggressive, yelling in my face from just a few inches away. I simply came to enjoy a round of golf, but instead was met with intimidating, unacceptable, and seemingly discriminatory behavior.

Afterwards, I spoke with the front desk staff, and they were very understanding, which I appreciated. However, what happened at the cart area was truly upsetting and...

I used to work here back in the 90's as a Chef and it was great to see Randy the golf Pro-Director still running one of the best courses in the west suburbs. I tried to say Hi to Randy but he looked engaged in a conversation and did not want to interupt. If your reading this Randy all I gotta say is Great Work from your crew! A#1!! The course play was excellent and the best shape I've seen. My round score was less to be desired Lol but a bad day of golf is better than a good day at work. I had a good time and great weather. I was golfing with Trevor and my good friend Darren whom you may have talked with that morning our T time was about 650am Please share with the staff and you should be...
