Beautiful setting, some challenging narrow holes

This course is very interesting with a variety of challenges. The setting is, at times, nothing short of inspiring, especially the middle holes on the back nine. The one factor keeping this from four stars is that the greens have a high incidence of ball marks that haven't been repaired properly. In many places this affects the roll of putts.

Good golf course/ Good shape and green fees very reasonable.

If you play here, bring your own food. There is no facility to obtain something to eat after the turn. I had a " Hot Dog" for four dollars that was kept in a bun warmer behind the check -in desk. Don't eat it............................Worse I've ever seen. The management ought to be ashamed .

Pretty Good Value

The course has a pretty good track and is not too long. I usually enjoy the course, conditions are usually pretty good. The worse thing going against it is the location, and it can get really hot, but that is probably what also drives the prices down. Usually you can score pretty well here, unless your shot is way off you may earn some "out of bounds" penalty strokes. You hit off decent grass at the range, although the range itself is pretty brown. The cart paths alternate between concrete and gravel/dirt - perhaps giving it a little bit of a Valley Center rustic vibe? They don't have ball washers at the tee box, but some golf carts have built-in ball washers (not all). No clubhouse and the pro shop is pretty much bare bones right now (no merchandise).

One thing I forgot to mention, I have been stuck behind "fivesomes" twice for this course. Most courses will not allow it, but they do. When that happens, it is very frustrating and the pace really slows down. Beware!

Keep it in the fairway

Challenging fun coarse. As long as you can keep it in the fairway you will be fine. The only issue with the coarse if that the carts were a little beat up and there were no ball cleaners at any of the holes. For as hot it is in Valley Center the couarse was really green and pretty well kept up. Greens were is great shape.

Course is challenging but fair. Tee boxes are set up for all player abilties, which makes it fun for all.

Hadn't played Woods Valley for some time, and I was a bit concerned that the course was "beaten up" due to the heat the past couple of weeks. But to my surprise, the course was in great shape. Greens were especially good with consistent speed throughout. On-line reservations made it easy to reserve a time. Great value for the price. I would definitely recommend this course to my friends.

Excellent.

Excellent value

Not pristine but it's Inland which is never pristine. 3 hours, 15 minutes. Right mix of rough with fairways. Very enjoyable. Plenty of water and restroom facilities. Very challenging from the Black tees.

Great Value

Played at 9 am on Tuesday and the course was EMPTY. Literally saw 4 people the whole round. Course is in decent shape and an excellent value for the 30 dollar golfnow price. I did see a number of groups teeing off on 1 when we finished at 11:30.

has potential

the twilight rates and hot deals are great but wish they would install a kiosk so you didn't have to deal with the staff. Shouldn't the girl working there know where bathrooms are located? Why do they hire people who obviously do not want to be working there? Sigh.
