Give it a week

Played just after aeration, little sandy, but played 18 in 2 1/4 hours teeing off at 10:00 Obviously the greens were sandy and slow, but they rolled well and will be excellent in about a week or so.

Disappointed with the experience

I had a chance to get out and play so I went on Golf Now and found a tee time that met my needs at this course. I arrived at the course, paid at the club house and was told I could go ahead and tee off. A group of very nice ladies let me play through on the second hole and on the eighth hole came up on a foursome on the tee and a single who asked if I wished to join him. I did and on the ninth tee he commented on to back nine being closed and that we would have to play the front nine again. I was a bit shocked as nothing had been mentioned to me about this when I checked in.
At the turn I went to the clubhouse and was advised that yes the back nine was closed. I was asked how I made my time and I told them on Golf Now. I was then told that this situation was supposed to be noted on the site and that they were going to call and make sure that the situation was noted. As I returned to the first tee I noted that even after the time I had spent at the clubhouse there were 2 groups on the hole and at least 1 foursome on the tee in front of us. At that point I advised my playing partner that I would not be continuing. When I got home I went back on the Golf Now site I saw the Aerification warning which I had noted when I made my initial time but nothing about the back nine being closed.
As I noted the staff was friendly however I found the failure to have a sign at the desk noting this course condition and not advising me when I paid was a great failing on the part of the course. They told me when I went back in that I could play all I wanted for the fee however I have had experience with shotgun starts after frost delays and know the delays experienced sorting groups in on the first tee.
I have noted over the last year that more and more courses tend to treat Golf Now customers as second class citizens. I use the service as I never know from one day to the next what my schedule is and the site allows me to see several course times at once rather than checking multiple sites.
I have played this course almost since it opened and I do see that the new ownership has had a positive affect on the conditions, but, while the price I paid was a good deal for 18 holes it was not so good for nine.

What happened

The conditions at woods valley have gone downhill. I've played this course more than a dozen times in the last two years and won't go back. While the greens were ok the fairways were full of weeds and patches of grass. I've heard there was new ownership that was going to improve the course but this is not happening. Stay away.

Slow Play

Had an 11:18 start time and we arrived at 10:30 to hit a warm up bucket. We were informed that they were running 20 minutes behind, I figured that it was probably because of slow play with it being a holiday. Then I saw the starter working in a couple of walk on groups with one starting on hole 3 and the other on 5 which I thought was pretty strange. We finally were able to tee off 30 minutes past our tee time. On every shot we had at least a 10 minute wait and throughout the round there was often two groups waiting at the tee box. The round ended up taking 5 hours and 20 minutes, add in the thirty minute delay and it was almost a 6 hour round. It is obvious that the staff overbooks on the weekends and holidays and have no concern for speed of play. I would recommend only playing here during the week.

For the price and the condition of the course it is a great value.

Woods Valley Delema

Several Holes for the White Tee Senior are fraught with pit falls, #10 in particular. If you fade to the right there is trouble, if you draw down the center you can reach the water left, and if you play a fade to the left it might not make it over the water left.
Straight down the middle is the best bet if you can carry over the hazards down the middle.

⛳️ great value. Play it

Fairways dry but fair. Hit ball straight and you will score shot 76 with numberous chance for additional birdies isn't that always the case. My buddies weren't as fortunate with their drives and their scores reflect their scrambling. Love the layout, this was the second time playing since it's opening. Course is quite a drive for me since I live in San Diego but well worth it for the price. Get a range finder or GPS app which helps hunting down those pins.

Rainy day round

I was a little disappointed about the weather since I booked the course a week in advance, but the storm front decided to hold off till I was trying to play.
It turned out to be an alright day in the end though. It didn't rain too much and the course didn't get too soggy.
There were a few challenges, hazards and wildlife preserve O/B's during the round but overall it was fairly flat and open.
I enjoyed the round and would go back again.

This course was nice enough for the money, but tee boxes were beat up and wet.

I liked the course well enough, but it could use some maintenance. The fairways were spotty, and the tee boxes were very wet, and beat up. The greens however, were in great shape, and the pace of play was nice. Overall worth the money.
