Horrible fairways

I Mean, c'mon Woodley!!! Spend a little of the money you collect and fix all the dirt patches in the middle of the fairways. this is one the only public golf courses where you are punished if you are in the fairways.

Greens GREAT. POP was almost 5 hours!!

Weekday Thursday, pre-noon tee time. Thought we would move and be done in 4 hours, which is possible here -

except, we got stuck behind one slow group who was a full hole and a bit behind and held everybody up, and it took just under 5 hours because of it. So disappointing and really annoying. The course needs to tell these people and educate them on etiquette. It was quite obvious they took far too long on everything and then spraying it all over the map!!! So frustrating.

Greens are great, however. Might be the best of the munis at the moment. Most of the course is good too, lots of grass on tees and most of very fairways. Bunkers obviously need some work as some had grass starting to grow in them.

At least somebody is looking after the greens.

Please do something about the pace of play!!!!! It’s a week day, for crying out loud!!!

Greens were in great shape

It was a great Thursday round. We had a great pace, and only had a short wait on the 10th. The group behind us never really caught us. The greens were in great shape and a little tricky. Some were faster than others. BTW, happy hour starts at 3PM and the wings were delicious.

Love this course!

I love coming and playing Woodley Lakes. The course is a ton of fun to play, and I love visiting Best Ball after the round!

Only complaint is that the pace of play is pretty slow by the afternoon. I also wish the bathrooms were kept a bit cleaner.

Another course that’s worth it if you get a hot deal

This is another course that if you can get a hot deal on it’s worth playing. It is a public course in Los Angeles so not all the greens are as uniform as you’d like to have them and a lot of people don’t help take care of the course with fixing divots and so on. But it’s moderate in the challenge of the course and each hole is a little bit different from the other so we can be fun.

Now’s the time!

I play Woodley a lot. This is the best shape it’s been in in a while. Greens are rolling true. Played in 4hrs 20min which is perfectly acceptable.

Great Course for the $

Booking through Golf Pass made this golf course reasonable. Had a great time and met some new golfers.

The cart police mechanism is set a little aggressive. Actually got stuck between a tee and green and a hazard. I was well away from all. Ridiculous IMO, though I think it was set for new golfers that don’t know better.

Have a nice day!

Good course, but beware of golf cart jail

I played Woodley Lakes golf course on Friday, 30 May. The course is in pretty good shape, with some exceptions where it needs watering and trimming of the clover. The greens were in really good shape. Had a great round with some new golfers.

At one point though the golf cart froze up, warning that we were entering a restricted zone. Started to back up out of the zone, and the cart stopped moving. I tapped the screen on the GPS to get it going again, and nothing happened. We ended up having to push the cart manually about 75 feet or so until it finally came back to life. I understand the restrictions, but I’ve played golf all my life and respect the tee boxes and green areas. My brother and cousin built golf courses for many years in their 20s, and that too taught me respect for the course. I understand there are beginner golfers out there that may need guidance with a golf cart, but having to push a cart in 90+ degree weather is ridiculous. I was at least 30 feet from the green and the tee box. Hopefully, I won’t run into the same situation in the future.

Have a good day and hit him straight!

Greens are nice

Greens are smooth and rolling nicely. Firm-ish, but fun to hit into and to putt on.

Overall the course is in good shape. Of course there are some spots that need fixing but for a City course it’s in very good shape.

Surprised how good the greens are.

Teeing off just past the half hour after noon, we got round in 4 hours, which is really very good compared to many other courses around these parts, these days!

Good course for the money

Got it on hot deals, saturday for 54$. Course condition is somewhat dry with a bit of brown patches in fairway. The rough.. is rough. Pace was acceptable, held back by a foursome ahead but still finished in 4.45hrs. What i really like in this course-- ground driving range, has a chipping and bunker practice are not to mention bigger putting green. Overall a course id consider going back

Good course. Lots of beginners though.

Good course but odds are you could get paired up with someone who does not know how to play golf. Third time this has happened to me. Makes for a looooooong rounds and frustrating if you have any sort of a game you want to get in a groove with. Course is easy and fun. General decent shape.

Overall a C- course

I like this course because it is fairly easy with not too many challenges. But the greens keepers need to take care a little more as there are so many dirt patches in the middle of the fairways and in most cases you are punished by being in the middle of the fairway
