Willow Springs Golf Course
About Willow Springs Golf Course
Open since 1991, Willow Springs Golf Course sits in the rolling hills of Howard County on land that was formerly the Bowman Farm. The layout was designed by Mid-Atlantic architect Alyn "Al" Janis, with the intent of accommodating golfers across a range of skill levels.
The par-62 course stretches more than 4,200 yards and is made up of ten par 3s and eight par 4s, making for a quicker round that still calls for some strategy. Holes play through scenic surroundings typical of the area's countryside.
