great for the money

It's good to play at a course that has real sand in the traps, although I don't like being in them.

This is a really fun course with a great layout. Overall conditions were very good. Great variety to every hole. Very scenic.

First time playing this course, and I was pleasantly surprised. Very enjoyable layout with a great variety of holes. Challenging yet very playable. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who happens to be out in this area. I you are in the area or happen to be going to any of the local casinos, bring the clubs and check out this course. You won't be dissapointed. Conditions were very good from tee to green.

Great 'Hot Deal'

I like this course. My only concern is some low lying areas in the fairway that have not drained well although there has been very little rain. Greens are well kept and roll nicely although many patrons seem to have a problem fixing ball marks. Lots of hazards so bring your A-game :D

Mr. Vee

This course is very challengeing, well kept and nice greens. Love to play here and highly reccomended to play, but bring extra balls for this course has narrow fairways and about 7 holes with water into play. Over all it has nice features and is a beautiful course. A fun round of golf and well worth the price.

FRIDAY golf can't beat it!

It was a wonderful Friday afternoon round of golf! Staff was very friendly and super helpful! The tee time bookings were spot on because there was sense of being rushed at all and we never saw the people in front of us after the first 2 holes! Overall great day and I would definitely bring friends again!

Great Experience, Bad Score

1st time playing this course. Very nice change of pace golf course. The views are great and the overall condition of the course was nice. Made a road trip to play here and do not regret the decision. However, I felt the course was challenging. Has blind dog leg holes and the greens were not playing the same throughout the holes. Some green were fast and some were slow. I have to comeback to make up for the bad round.

Challenging well maintained Course.

I played at Woods Valley on Wednesday, and the conditions were great. The fairways were looking above average and the greens were fast. I really enjoyed my round and look forward to going back, maybe with a few extra balls in my bag. It is easy to lose one in the rough. If you do go looking for them, watch out for snakes. The only complaint that I have about the place, and it's hardly a complaint, is that there are no ball wash stations at any of the holes. With that said, I would not hesitate to golf at Woods Valley on a regular basis.

This course is well maintained

I was surprised when we pulled up. I didn't expect it to be so nice. Course was well maintained, 95% of the fairways were green and well groomed. Greens were a little firm but nothing to whine about. Its not too friendly if you're a hard slicer as youll find your ball in the light brush or woods, which there are very few or none side by side fairway to save you. Stay away from the brush as there are a lot of snake holes. All in all, very enjoyable round and was surprised how empty it was on a saturday mid morning. Will be back for sure.

Well manicured with challenging greens. Good value with this course. Not sure if ballwashers will be put back, but if it impacts cost of play, no big deal.

Course has seriously deteriorated.

This used to be one of my favorite places to play. Thae fairways are HORRIBLE. NO GRASS!!! There was one one marshall. He passed us three times and never said a word. There was no water in any of the the water stations,. We saw the beverage cart as we were approaching 17 tee box. I heard that there are new owners. They need to get their act together!!!

Great value

10 am twilight on Sundays, so you can get out for $35
Its a great course at that value.
Conditions were good, fairways are dormant , but the boxes and greens are are in good shape.
The greens are tough, really fast, and there are some brutal pin positions.
Pace was a little slow, probably because of how busy it was with the rate so cheap, but nothing unreasonable.

Beautiful Long Course

I've played a lot of the shorter courses, and Woods Valley is a really nice change of pace. The par 5 holes are just what I need to work on my fairway game, and the hazards around the greens keep you on your toes. The course layout is great, and the staff is very helpful.

Good course, lots of character

This is my go to course. I really enjoy playing here. Can eat golf balls so if you're not hitting fairways, bring enough balls to finish your round. It's very easy to get into trouble here. Fairway are not plush but are playable. Green are usually in decent shape and takes a good eye to read them.
Have fun. Oh, water does come into play on several holes.

The course is a moderate challenging oak tree lined course.

Castle Creek is an old established course with lots of oak trees lining the wholes. The greens are in good shape compared to last year. At this time most of the bermuda grass fairways are dormant and brown. The course and clubhouse need some maintenance and renovation. The snackbar is adequate. The cost is a value.
