fairways not up to par

the fariways are dried out and hard packed. this is a shame because woods valley is a very nice course. I know we need rain, but other courses have managed to keep there fairways and greens in good shape. How about getting connected to the revamped sewer treatment plant to use there recycled water on the course? I'll have to wait till they start WATERING the fairways before I will return and play / pay the prices they are asking.

Love this place

Always love playing here, can’t wait for the rain to come and take care of the greenery. They do what they can and keep the rates low, that’s why I will continue to play here.

2 different nines

Good place to play in beautiful Valley Center. Front and back nines are different...some very interesting holes...Not your average layout, every time you play it you find something new about the place....Tee Box's are spaced out very nicely so your ability can match where you play from...far enough for most and short enough to be enjoyable for us less skilled or powerful...greens seem a little different on front and back nine? Worth playing when down that way...

Woods Valley is my go to course

Great layout with challenging holes and greens. The fairways are a little bare in spots but it doesn’t take away from this gem. I play here a lot and it never gets boring.

Sllllooooooooowwwwww pace

Wednesday late morning tee time I found out real quick was a big mistake. I was behind 4 seniors groups playing ohhh boy I must have taken a nap in between holes a few times. Over 5 hours to finish. A few really nice holes with nice greens and the rest seem to be infested with some kind of decease. The drought has definitely left its mark on the fairways and some greens. Ballmarks left on the green near the hole are plenty. Also watch out for workers screwing around on golf carts like they own the place.

The course has friendly staff members

Picture perfect day for golf. We were a twosome, and another twosome asked to join us - we ended up having a blast. We were held up on holes 7, 8. And 9. Fairways and greens were in good shape. Would recommend open tab policy on credit cards. The time it took to write up credit card slip manually took far too long and contributed to holes being backed up. May want to add another beer cart on weekends. Never saw the beer cart until the 9th hole. Stock up beverages before you head out.

Some good, some not so good

Hadn't played Woods Valley for years, course is better maintained than in the past but still has a long way to go.

Could be an excellent course with a little water and some better maintenance. It always is a shame to see that many operators don't take a little more pride in their product.

Tougher than it looks

Haven't played her for quite some time. This course will pad your handicap, that's for sure. Beautiful layout, lots of bunkers, forced carries and water. All make for a nice but interesting round. We teed off at noon and got done at 4 p.m. If you are hungry after the round, a rib rack called Fat Ivor's is just down the street and has the best ribs I've ever had, plus it's all you can eat.

i usually don't lose balls on the course, lost four here. I'll be back soon to see how many more I can lose.

My first round.

It was all that I expected. Been wanting to play this course since the first time I saw it. Layout is in my favorite style with lots of up and down challenges. My new favorite course!! Recent aerating was the only exception from this being a perfect 5-star review. Can’t wait ‘til it’s recovered completely. Thank you to Bill, the Starter (didn’t catch his name), and the Marshall (for this particular day). Their friendliness added to a great day!

Course is in good shape

I thought the greens tees and fairways were all in good shape and green which is sometimes hard to find this time of year. Ball runs a lot on fairways and greens will hold for pitch shots. Good course for the value.
