What the club says: Measuring 6,158 yards from the competition tees golfers of all abilities face a stiff but fair challenge at Willingdon. At all times of the year players will find a perfectly manicured course with slick greens that are the envy of many other clubs. The unique layout of the course ensures that play can be commenced at either the 1st, 9th or 15th holes which are all conveniently located near to the clubhouse.

The course is beautiful. I played this course 2 years ago and it was one of bed courses I have played.The greens were like carpets..Unfortunately this time the greens were terrible and virtually unplayable.I was told that a fungus had caused the damage and were recovering.As soon as they have recovered I will be back .It is quite hilly so a buggy or electric trolley recommended.A friendly club and would definitely recommend once the greens have recovered.
