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.

Challenges await those who play Woods Valley. Be prepared to use every club in your bag. Shot shaping is a premium here.

Fire the Marshall

I play golf twice a week and I really like this course, it's a north county Salt Creek. I played on a monday after Christmas and it was packed. No problem, good management will handle it. By the time we got to hole 2 after a 30 min delay, there were 3 foursomes - it looked like a golf cart dealership. At the turn, after nearly 3 hours I asked management if we could replay the front because it was so slow. Yes. As I left the manger asked the employee, "who is the marshall today?" Really? You should know. Great course, fckin get it together!

A little disappointed...

I have been playing in this course for a while. I understand it is under a new management and I expected great improvement, but I am a little disappointed. Some greens need some work. I invited a couple of friends from out of the area and they were not that overwhelmed. I like to play this course because of the challenge that it poses, except for the few greens that I just mentioned that need a little care.

Nice layout

The staff (Lisa) greeted us warmly, fed us xmas chocolates and then sent us out 20 minutes early to avoid a group of student beginners that would have been playing three foursomes right in front of us, she really saved our bacon. To do that we started on #10 and we really loved the layout of the back nine along the creek and thru the oaks in a big circle. The front nine is layed out with most of the fairways paralleling each other so doesn't have the same feeling of solitude but still plenty fun and challenging. We did catch the course after a nights rain so it was overly moist. There are a lot of fairways where the grass is being replaced and or is pretty thin but they are working to improve that. All the greens had challenging contours, grass a little thin here and there. Good bunkers.

At the right price it's worth the drive.

We played right after a big rain, otherwise I'd give it four stars for condition. It's a well kept course for the money. But this time the starter let out a group of five and 3-2-2 behind that?! Pace was very slow, lots of waiting. Stick to groups of four and below. Overall though, I wish more courses at this price had fairways and greens like Woods Valley.

great layout

This was my first time playing Woods Valley. Overall was an enjoyable experience. The Layout was my favorite part. Great design and beautiful bunker sculpturing. The three holes in the middle of the oaks were really cool. Course conditions were a little crusty. If the greens had about two more feet of stimp on them, I would have rated the entire experience an Excellent.
I will definitely play here again

Beautiful course

What a fantastic course to play. All of the par 3's require tee shots over hazards no freebies. The layout is challenging if you don't hit the fairway. Staff is the friendliest and helpful I've seen in a while. Don't let the drive steer you away from this course. I will definitely play here again.
