Willow Springs Country Club was established 1915 and is one of the oldest courses on the eastern coast. The course has been family owned and operated for more than 23 years and features a collaboration between Donald Ross and Ellis Maples, two giants of the "Golden Age" of golf architecture: Ross designed the course's fairways and Maples focused on its greens. As is customary with Ross courses, fairways are lined with tall hardwoods and pines that give Willow Springs a feeling of majesty that simply can‘t be replicated by newer courses.

Willow Springs Country Club is a semi-private, 18-hole golf course and country club with plenty of options for players of all skill levels. Offering up several tee locations with as much as 6,641 total yards and as little as 4,836 yards, Willow Springs is a classic par-71. Ross's plush fairways and Maples' tricky Bermuda grass greens may render a maximum difficulty rating of 71/127, but the layout is such that everyone from seasoned golfers to those new to the game can enjoy a round on this beautiful and historic course.

Off the course, Willow Springs' pro shop is stocked and ready to meet each player’s needs, whether that be through custom club fittings, club repairs, rentals or computerized service for those with disabilities.
