Though willow is considered a hardwood, it doesn't burn as well as some other hardwoods that burn well in fireplaces, such as apple, beech, eucalyptus, hickory, maple, oak, and more.
Additional response -
It depends upon what you mean by good. Seasoned (dried) Willow will burn just fine in your fireplace. It has about half of the energy per volume that a harder wood like Oak, Beech, and Hickory have. So you will have to burn almost twice as much Willow to provide the same heat as the harder woods. But if it is properly seasoned, it will burn nicely, not smoke, and not risk excess creosote buildup.
There will also be more ash to clean up, but, at the end of the day, if you have seasoned Willow available to burn, burn it.
