Willow Run Golf Course was designed by Jack Kidwell, a central Ohio architect whose work appears on courses throughout the state, each with its own distinct character. The layout here asks for both shot-making and careful course management, with bentgrass greens and fairways accented by Ohio bluegrass.
Accurate placement from the tee is the main demand, particularly across the front nine. Water figures into play at many points on the property, and bunkers are positioned to influence decisions. On the back nine, the 13th stands out as a demanding par 4, its green guarded in front by a winding creek.
