I've been here a lot. It's a nice golf range with early bird specials. Gets super crowded.
Recently there was an injured bird on the second floor and we told them about it and they refused to do anything. The bird at the time of the picture is still alive and sitting still, in the middle of the path.
Why would an establishment leave a bird with blood on the floor?Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

We sincerely apologize for the bird incident, Yuya. We understand our team could have reacted more efficiently and we regret they didn't. Rest assured, we prioritize both patron and wildlife safety. We'll brief our staff to ensure a more empathetic response in the future. We hope for an opportunity to deliver a superior experience next time.

2023 Updated review: Nice day for mini golf at Willowbrook Golf Center. Ample parking for golf and mini-golf. If going to the range, need to bring your own clubs as due to pandemic no club rentals.
For mini-golf, there are putters for children and adults.
Friendly and helpful staff. Price for adults $12 to play 1 course, $18 to play both courses... Of course, if one has time, better deal to play both courses - Tiger and Bear.
Played Tiger course this time and mini-golf greens are clean and repaired since last here. Got here before it got too crowded. Love the blue waterfall from the cave - really nice to see on a sunny day.
Snacks and drinks are available for purchase inside, along with the Willowbrook Golf Center store and restrooms.
Have fun and get your game on!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 4Oh no 0Business owner information

The Willowbrook Golf Center Management TeamJul 24, 2022Previous reviewSecond time here in awhile...Came on a nice day for mini-golf at Willowbrook Golf Center while in the area.
There is a driving range but one must bring their own clubs. There are no clubs to rent. This is due the pandemic and having to clean the club after. There are two levels so plan ahead to not have to wait.
Mini golf: Adults $10 pp for 18 holes, $15 pp for 36 holes.
Nice to play out mini-golf when not too hot or too cold or rainy outdoors.
Decided to play both 18 hole courses since it's only $5 more: Tiger and Bear. Both courses are par 3. The blue water is nice flowing from the "mountain". Don't forget the scorecards, pick a color ball, pencil to keep score and mini-golf putter before you start. There is a 6 stroke limit per hole...hopefully one doesn't need it.
Go early to avoid crowds and waiting...had a couple of people in front of us but wasn't too bad.
Some of the holes are harder than others - watch out as some balls may end up in the water, sandtrap or off the course...each will result in a 1 stroke penalty. Follow the rules and have fun! Tally up the scores and may the best mini-golfer win! Return the putter and pencil when you finish.
Restrooms and vending machines inside for drinks etc.
Safety first and maintain distance. - Mar 9, 2023
Good for a quick stop for fun if you are in the area
Location/Ambience: 4/5 The golf course itself is in decent shape but the water and other parts of it are pretty muddied and trashed but it wasn't as noticeable since the mini-golf course with its layout deviates attention from it. Area is nice and decently quiet considering its location.
Experience: It was a solid mini-golf course. Two versions of 18 holes interlocking with each other. Didn't get a chance to use the range since no rentals allowed
Staff: 4/5 lol it was just one guy manning the center from what it looked like to pay for the minigolf course. Staff is pretty much lets you do your own thing and anything happenes, happens, you go get them.
Price: 4/5
It was about $10-$12 for mini golf for one so it was pretty fair
Accessibility/Layout 5/5
Its off the exit for the highway so its well secluded from everywhere else with a good amount of land dedicated to it. The mini-golf area is next to the parking lot with the range further back adjacent to the center where you pay and enter the pro shop.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1Business owner information

There's plenty of land here to have a fun time golfing, Mark. We want every area of our course to be in tip-top shape, so we'll be sure to keep an eye on the water areas you had mentioned. If you find yourself traveling near our place again , we'd love to have you visit for another fun time.

Been here a few times for mini golf only. Its $10 entry which is fair. The clubs and balls are always in good shape. The course could use some work on some holes - you'll see carpet rough or torn up in some spots. Sometimes the foliage around the course is a little overgrown and large. It's far from the best course I've ever played but its fun nonetheless.
There are two courses to play so you could come back here and get a different experience which is nice. I hope to go to the driving range at some point.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

In my recent interactions with Michael Hong, the head of Willowbrook Golf, I found the experience lacking. The business exchange was subpar, with Mike appearing inconsiderate and rigid. Consequently, I'm reluctant to suggest Willowbrook Golf to peers.

I have played mini golf here for years. It's not cheap, but it's a very solid establishment when it's not raining... Anyway, they've kept the greens up, actually just closed for a bit to remodel and reopen. They do have two courses, but some holes on each course are a little basic. Some interesting, and a few holes in one are opportune. Don't do what I've certainly never admitted to doing, play 17 holes, then switch courses and play 17 more there without losing your ball.
Anyway. *Cough cough* they also have a driving range. Standard stuff, again it's a little bit expensive. Customer service is fine, no issues, but the inside of the store is rather strange and has a bunch of doors unusable by the public. (Long walk from the desk to the clubs for example.) Finally, getting there is a bit tough - you have to get to the 23 North exit to 46 East, more or less U-turn, and then snag an immediate left into the parking lot. Or use Hobson Terrace at your own risk.
Anyway anyway - 4 stars overall. Maybe a bit high given the basic nature of many of the holes and the price, but 3 stars seems a bit low for the overall quality.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0Business owner information

I've been here for both the driving range as well as the mini golf. Both are adequate but as certain have mentioned, the place could use some updating. The mini golf obstacles are very basic, as a good number of holes are pretty much straight shots. If you're looking for more of the novelty kind of mini golf, monster mini golf down the road is probably a better option (but indoors)
Location is a bit annoying to get on and off rt 46.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

Went mini golfing with my boyfriend on a late Monday afternoon around 6 and it wasn't packed. Saw a beautiful sunset. It's not the best date in the world - and the water is kind of icky looking around the first put on the right course- but for $12 a person for two courses it can't be beat. The courses were cute and medium, I felt like I was enjoying but not struggling. I had no complaints.
The sunset was so pretty!! A wide area to see it set.
Go early around the time we went or a little earlier or you'll be sandwiched between big families.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

Melinda, we're thrilled you had the chance to swing by and enjoy the sunset (and of course play some golf)! Having some fun on the green shouldn't cost an arm and a leg, so we're happy you had a lot of fun at a little price. We'd love to see you back, so come by the next time you want to enjoy another beautiful sunset at our place.
Take care,

Although the mini golf course looks nice and well maintained, I mainly come here for the range. You never have to wait because there are 2 levels. In the winter, each bay has heat which is necessary.

My daughter likes coming here for the driving range. It's not flashy, which she likes. It has the essentials and the staff are professional. And there are heaters in the bays.
