Start or end your day dining on the golf course, where The Willows is waiting with new additions this season.

The bar and grill inside the clubhouse at Willow Run Golf Course includes a popular patio overlooking the course.

“We’re excited to open for longer hours and bring back the patio,” said Amila Husic, GreatLIFE director of food and beverage, and events coordinator. “It’s an amazing setting with fantastic views.”

Here are seven things to know about The Willows this season.

There are new menu additions

The Willows offers a popular menu of appetizers, burgers, salads and entrees — and there are tasty new items to kick off the golf season.

New additions include a spinach artichoke dip and a Philly steak sandwich.

Plus, there’s a new Manager Burger each month. April’s offering is the Fajita Burger with cheese, bell peppers and onions.

Daily deals abound

There’s literally a different reason to visit The Willows every day:

• Monday: $3 off burgers.
• Tuesday: Taco Tuesday! Taco baskets are $7, and margaritas are $3 off.
• Wednesday: $2 off Philly cheesesteak sandwiches.
• Thursday: $2 off appetizers.
• Friday: $2 off desserts.
• Saturday: $2 off entrees.
• Sunday: $4 mimosas and $5 bloody marys.

Plus, happy hour runs from 3 to 6 p.m. daily and offers $1 off beer, wine and well drinks.

It’s easier to access

Last construction season brought major improvements to Arrowhead Parkway, and they’re finishing up this season.

But traffic is flowing through the new roadway alignment now. So enjoy the smoother ride as you use caution through construction and find a refreshed route to The Willows.
