Woodley Lakes Golf Course

My first time playing here with 2 friends who also never played here can agree that the pace of play was just right with no waiting and no one pushing. The wide open fairways gave opportunities for up and downs. The greens are easy to read and the putts hold their line. The driving range is grass and they have a large chipping and putting practice area.

It’s not gonna break the bank, so anyone who just loves getting out and playing golf should be, at a baseline, content to do so at a reasonable price. Another nice (though mostly pointless with cell phones) feature is the screen in the cart that tells you how far you are from the hole. Everything else about this course is ROUGH though. It might be because I played in the summer, but it is drier than heck. The carts are so slow (limited to maybe 8 mph?). The pace of play is slow, too. None of the grass is cut that well, but the greens were relatively okay. I was told there was a beverage cart but there wasn’t one. Basically, it’s a course I’ll play cause it’s cheap, but it’s worse than the worst courses I grew up playing in Michigan by some distance.

Felt great to hit the driver without worrying about where the ball ended up. The rough was forgiving enough to still end up on the green for par. There are no real skill shots or calculated approaches to the tee—aim for the flag and enjoy the game!

Best greens of all LA muni courses. Layout is fun and challenging from the tips. Par threes are solid and the course is fun to play.

This course has a good layout and is relatively challenging for amateur golfers. The grass is healthy and the fairways are in great shape.

Now, I can’t blame the grounds keepers for the greens. But for god’s sakes… the demographic of people who play this course DO NOT FIX BALL MARKS on the green. Every green at this course looks like it was carpet bombed with golf balls.

Folks, this is less of a review and more of a reminder, please fix your pitch marks on the greens.
