One of the Best In North County

I played this course twice. The course was in excellent shape. The fairways, bunkers and greens were all in excellent shape, especially the fairways, considering the drought in So. Cal. I would highly recommend this course to low handicap golfer as well as the amateur golfer. I will come again and play this magnificent Golf Course. You will love the back nine. This course will be in my top 5 in North county.

Greens

The course was in great shape. A few of the greens had major damage, but they did a good job of cutting the pins away from those areas. Great track.

Neat back nine

Played here a few times. Neat little track. Back nine has more personality than front nine. Noticed improvements such as new carts, new range balls and neat seating at practice range. Will play again.

Maintenance to1-9 holes

Golf Now should have a policy to warn golfers when a course is doing maintenance. We had to play the back nine twice and it was slow. Had I known this I would not make the tee time.

Bring a book to read

EXTREMELY slow round. Played @ 10:30 am. Because the course is fairly tight I'm assuming people are looking for lost balls quite often. I have played this course over 20x and it rarely can be finished under 5 hours. It's just brutal. Easily the slowest course in S.D county. No ones fault....just a slow course

There is actually green grass

Played on Tuesday for the first time here and will be back for sure. There is very good grass on all fairways, unlike many other courses in the area which are overly dry and have dirt patches here and there. Very much enjoyed the layout and the more challenging back nine. Also nice to have water in the water hazards. All in all a great day on a very nice course.

Fun Course

Greens were in great shape, definitely the best value I have found on Golf Now. It's challenging, not very long, but make you keep the ball in the fairways. Nice scenic course, water on a few holes, lots of bunkers. Will be going back.

Range Ball

The condition of the course was in good shape but it seemed to had been over booked. They charged me $4 for the range ball and I felt that it was over charged also.

Hidden gem!

I played there three times.
Second visit which was yesterday was five start all the way.
We (group of three) played 2 rounds tee off at 6:30 am + lunch, we were done at 2:40 pm. WOW!!

Staffs are very nice...Brian was very friendly.
Condition of the course was also great!
fast green!!
When I played there last year most of water was dried out but this time plenty of water!! which make this place more fun to play.

Nice drive from the Welk resort

This course is full championship length from the balck tees....just over 6700 yards....greens were cut tight, fast and firm with no bare spots....fairways could use some rain as all So California could....some tight lies but soft underneath....scenic everywhere with water features...big trees and mountain rock scapes to behold....

I will go back once a week during my month at the Welk...and play Arrowood and California Golf Club in Oceanside....but Woods Valley is less expensive....

Try it and you will come back....

Woods valley

The course was in great shape. Very well manicured and the greens were great. My group got stuck behind four foursomes who were playing their own tournamate. They played slow and the first group was two holes behind the first group. The round took six hours and was not enjoyable. There are worst ways to spend an afternoon though.
