Willow Lake Golf Club sits on the southern edge of Metter, Georgia, where flat pine lands give way to open fairways and several water hazards. The course was built around a 40-acre lake that borders the first and tenth tees and comes into play on four other holes. Bermuda grass covers the fairways and greens, which are maintained at medium speed and roll true. A single cart path runs the length of the property, crossing the lake on a narrow bridge between the sixth green and seventh tee. Oak hammocks line several landing areas, while the back nine features more open terrain and longer approaches. The clubhouse, a single-story brick building, houses a modest pro shop and a grill that serves hot food from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily. Local high-school teams use the practice putting green for matches, and weekend mornings see steady play from residents of surrounding counties.
