Overpriced
Course is under major construction yet they continue to charge full rates, terrible value. Layout is absurd, hopefully only due to the construction? I won't be back anytime soon and would avoid this course right now....maybe for the next couple years until construction is finished.
Terrible Shape - Way Overpriced
I never really write reviews but Woodwind deserves a bad one. I used to love this course as it was typically in good shape and a good amount of the greens are challenging. Another benefit was that it's less than 1 minute away from my house. However, they started construction some time ago then raised the prices. Pace of play was excruciating. 5 1/2 hour round for a solo player is ridiculous. Constantly waiting 5+ minutes to tee off every hole. At least it was a beautiful day outside.
The raised price of $65 is absurd, especially considering that the course is tore up in many spots. 6 par 3s, 400 yard par 5s? It's a joke. At best I'd maybe pay half to play here until the construction is completed. It seems that people have caught on and realized it's way over priced as the tee times appear to be wide open now.
One thing Woodwind appears to have going for them is their head Pro, Elliot. He was very laid back and a pleasure to talk to during my checkin. Seemed to be an awesome guy.
Sold out for $ - layout is now terrible.
Used to be a good golf course. Now, with the encroachment of housing developments, the course has been fragmented and slung all over the place. I quit after nine. Won’t be back.
Under construction
I wish we had known the course was under significant construction and renovation before we booked. We encountered a group of 8 playing together. They eventually let us play through right before we were going to skip a hole to get past them. New holes have been constructed and one of the holes is currently unplayable. The scorecard gives Everyone a Par for that hole. So you are paying for 18 and playing 17 holes.
Under Major Construction
I know they need the money. But paying $52 for a long confusing par 3 course is a bit much. This course maybe done right when it is finished. But for right now, it is a mess and certainly not worth the money I paid. I’m sorry to say that. Because I want truly to support all things golf. But we played nearly 4 par 3 in a roll. One of my biggest complaints from both rounds I played there was the color of the tee boxes. I play blue normally and the blue they have is very close to the black. There were a group ahead of us that lived there. So during the round, they needed more beer. So they stopped at their house right after their tee shots. Carts left on the fairway, while they stock up for the back nine. This is a huge problem on Fathers Day, Sunday golf day, and golf etiquette. Sprinklers going all day. Got to 17 and 18 and was showered with water as you chip and putt. On 17 we were almost fire hosed down as the cycle randomly came on to water the green with a direct stream of heavy water flow. For what it is, that price needs to come down. Or they need to close until they have a golf course that can really be played and enjoyed. Also, if folks who live there want to play golf, that’s great. But if they want to stop off at home, it should be like going to the shack; you don’t tee off and sit your cart in the fairway.
Wonderful time
The course is still getting it's "sea legs" with the updates and construction winding down. We could have used better signage to know where to go, especially the new holes. The pricing is a bit high. Other than that, Woodwind is starting to come together nicely.
Under Construction!
50% of the course is basically under construction! There is major work being done on many holes and not just the ones involved in the housing development portion of the course. Almost all of the bunkers had little to no sand in them. Many areas where the grass has not been cut in a while, grass 8"-12" high. The water sprinklers kept coming on during much of the round right when we were hitting and only a few feet away causing several of us to get very wet. It seems like they have way too much going on at one time while still keeping the course open and very busy with golfers. And despite all the construction and torn up sections they still are charging full price to play. We all knew that tearing up this course to add houses was not going to be a good thing, and it has proved true. This was a very good course prior to the plan to build houses on the property. There was absolutely NO need to do this as there was plenty of land close by to be used for new housing developments. Just another greedy land grab by developers and officials. Not the kind of experience we were expecting. We will not be returning!
Great course!
Good course, challenging and very well maintained. Renovation/updates made it a bit challenging in knowing how to finish the front 9, but still overall it was a great course!
Course conditions
I understand the course needing renovation but to tear up as much of the course as they have at one time impacts play tremendously!! Wish they would have spread things out. Also, the yardage on the new holes seems off to non-existant. Curious how league play will be affected by the construction b
Under improvement
I thought the course was a very cool course. I’m glad I got a chance to play it. My review is a bit under rated only because of the construction improvements they are currently doing. I walk and the walk from #4 skipping #5 to resume on #6 is a bit far. I would also like the tee boxes marked a bit better. Played the back tees and sometimes they are paired with the blue. With so much elevation change; it’s hard sometimes to tell where the separate tee boxes are. But course experience can fix that. Greens were firm and moderately quick in places. Really liked the two new holes on the north side. Need improvements to the cart path there though. Seen a single I played with try to squeeze through and no room to stay off the soil which will leave holes pretty quick once the season gets in full swing. A very good course overall really. Practice area is a good representation of the course.
Pretty good
Our first time on this course, reserved through golf now. It’s was quite windy! I understand that it was above and beyond normal wind conditions. The staff were nice in the shop and at the snack bar; didn’t see any staff directing starts. LOTS of construction going on which keeps this in the 3.5-4 star rating. Pace of play was good and greens and fairways in good condition considering the time of year. Bunkers need some work. I imagine when the construction is over it will be a nicer experience.. If you live north of the beltway, probably worth the drive. We are located centrally so may not return for awhile.
Iffy
I was nervous playing this course as people have mentioned there is construction. There definitely is and it’s noticeable. Ideally, you won’t be bothered by it by not ever shot is ideal. I had to pick up out of the dirt construction zones a few times and play from there. A couple holes are completely out of play but they do have two new holes to make up for it so you get the full 18. Overall, it wasn’t terrible since I got it for a hot deal but I wouldn’t have been happy if I paid clubhouse price. The course would be very nice without active construction. Conclusion: ~$25 or less, yeah play, anything over that I’d go to a different course
Construction
No where on the website did it say they would have construction on the course. There were multiple times I had to pick up my drive to move around construction equipment in the fairway. I will not be back this year.
Construction
The course, with construction of a housing development on both sides of the course, is difficult to maneuver. holes #10 and #18 are closed and a new par three and par 4 are being used in place of these holes. I was disappointed with the course conditions where construction is taking place. The greens were great and the other holes are in great condition.
Construction? Really?
The course is torn up with all sorts of construction going on for a housing development that is being implemented on both sides of the course. #10 and #18 are closed and a new par three and par 4 are being used in place of these holes. I will not be back to play this year. Very disappointed with the course conditions where construction is taking place. The greens were very good and the other holes are in fine shape, but it is a shame the course is experiencing this kind of construction.
Course in great shape!
The course was in great shape especially for this time of year. As finances allow, the concrete cart paths need serious attention.
Good for beginners and intermed golfers
This course is just 7 minute drive from my house so I played here several times this year.
Basically fairly easy course except few holes and fairways are wider than average.
You can expect many slow players especially on weekends so please be patient if you think you are an above average golfer.
Overall this is well maintained and nice course, but I would give 5 star if this course has actual driving range.
