With more than 200 acres devoted to the golf course, lakes and natural preserves, Willoughby Golf Club residents enjoy a serene, low-density environment.
A Shot-Maker’s Course
Arthur Hills designed the golf course with four sets of tees to make sure both men and women golfers are suitably challenged, but not discouraged. From the championship tees that have been used in several U.S. Open qualifiers, the Willoughby Golf Club course plays to just under 6,800 yards between towering trees and natural wetlands, over lakes and around more than 55 bunkers.
In keeping with the Arthur Hills tradition, Willoughby is a shot maker’s course carved out of the natural surroundings and making abundant use of all available flora, hillocks and swales to create one of the most picturesque golf courses in the area. Send me more information about Willoughby!
