Woodlands Golf & Country Club - Masters Course

The Masters, more challenging, The Signature an easier course with the Signature hole on the 17th.

Kept in excellent condition, the bunkers are not perfect but takes little away from the course.

Word of warning when booking a round at Woodlands. While there are commendable aspects, such as reasonable pricing, the presence of an average club shop (no club house as such), and a reasonable standard of the courses, I encountered several issues that have left me dissatisfied.

1. Booking Process:

* I had booked a two-ball round for Sunday, March 17th at 7.24am adhering to the booking policy of paying upfront (irritating) and noting the cancellation policy.

* Unfortunately, heavy rain and feeling unwell on the morning of the tee time forced me to cancel.

* While I understand the importance of policy adherence, I expected some flexibility given the circumstances of playing this time of year.

* Typically, I play in all weathers, and I cancelled solely due to my physical condition, heavy rain and guaranteed very wet ground.

2. Club’s Response:

* I regretfully emailed the club before my round on Sunday morning updating them on the cancellation.

* The email I received from the club was disappointing. It emphasised that I should have cancelled by the previous evening and offered no assistance.

* It stated that the course was open and people were playing.

* However, this may have been true at 12 noon on the Sunday when the sun was out.

* Considering the weather conditions and time of year, I doubt another golfer would have taken the tee time late Saturday night.

3. Recommendation:

* While I appreciate the club’s commitment to keeping courses open throughout the winter, I recommend that potential players consider alternatives.
