Located in the heart of the Palm Desert in the Coachella Valley, Woodhaven Country Club offers panoramic views that stretch across the San Jacinto and Santa Rosa Mountains. The golf course has a traditional desert landscape but the stunning mountain views elevate it to a truly unique experience. The course has a classic design that is player friendly enough for beginners and even gentle enough juniors. It may not be what you're looking for if you want a formidable test, but more advanced players will appreciate it for a quick casual round. It's also great for working on your short game skills. The golf course is short and tight with immaculately manicured greens. You won't find much water at Woodhaven Country Club except on the 17th, which seems like its nearly all water.

Fantastic course

Course was in great shape. Fairways and greens beautiful. Pace of play was slow, had to wait on every shot but starter let us know this info on the first tee, so we were aware. Definitely worth the money.

Over Booked Course

First and last time here. Arrived an hour before tee time of 1200. At 1250 was informed by the starter on the first tee there will be an hour delay. Money was refunded. A day in PS wasted which costs more than the green fee. First time in fifteen years of playing in PS at any course I've had to ask for a refund. Golf now refund not requested.

Hello. Thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We work hard to accommodate everyone who visits our course and to best control pace allowing everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. Thank you for choosing Woodhaven Country Club. We hope to see you again soon.

Fun course, but way too SLOW

This is a short, straightforward course that should really play much faster than it did for us yesterday. For 18 holes, we waited on every single shot, both from the tees and from the fairways. Our group was joined by a single early in the round, and even as a 5-some we still waited on every shot. We ended up finishing our round in about 4:15, which doesn't sound as bad as it felt. Given the length and difficulty of this course, a competent foursome with carts could easily play this course in under 3 hours.

Nice course

Only played the front nine but it was in great shape and a nice layout. Play was a little slow but not bad. I would love to go back and play 18.

Very good condition. Interesting, but not too difficult. Likely one of the best values in the Valley.

Tight Short and Slow

Only were able to complete 14 holes in 4.5 hours. Course is really tight and short but in good condition. Not worth the money especially with pace of play for me.

Pace Needs Work

Tees off at 1:30 on a Sunday. Only 13 holes done by dark. Course is short and tight with other holes close enough by that errant shots can be an issue. Greens were good and staff was nice. Probably won’t be back with 14 holes for $70.

Nice course, bad timing

Apparently the course was being shut down for overseeding the next day, and it appeared that they hadn't watered the course for about a week in anticipation of this event. The fairways were completely brown and getting hard, and the greens were very green and brown splotchy. The staff were friendly and the couple we played with (also visitors) were wonderful, but the course really was in poor condition that day.
