Greens covered in SAND

Its April 2025 and the greens weren't just punched... They were covered in sand. Unplayable. No discount, and only warned upon checking in for the tee time. Not happy.

Reseeding

I was pleased this time with the pace of play .. Finished in 3 hours 50 minutes like it should be … However I Only Wished They would have Let us Know That They Were Seeding The Greens … Either by Telling People Woodley Golf Will be Down For The Week Of 4/13-4/20 or even Longer .. That Iway you weren’t playing either on sandy beach like greens or temporary greens

Don’t make me pay full price for subpar conditions

Overall, the course is great and I fully intend on playing there again. However, half of the greens had been freshly punched and sanded, and it was like putting on a beach. Don’t make me pay full price for those conditions.

First time this year there , it’s been a while since playing Woodley
Was impressed at the condition of the course after all the rain we got and the greens were very nice
Decided to walk and picked a bad day at 93°to do that , it was too hot and was cooked after 12-13 holes . Did not post a good score but had a fun day meeting new people . I’ll give it another shot on a cooler day. I like Woodley just don’t play there often
I’ll get a cart next time , 4+ hour round wasn’t too bad

Great course. Very forgiving

Even during rain episodes the course looks great.
Fairways are clean and greens playable. Definitely not the most challenging course but great to keep your score low and practice your game plan with no risk.

A very enjoyable round!

The course was in good shape considering there were rains last week. There were a few mushy areas, but the grounds staff labeled most of these areas. 90% of the greens were in excellent condition. The starter let us get going ahead of scheduled tee time which kept all the groups moving. I definitely will be back!

Pace Of Play

A Round Of Golf should not take 5 hours.. These Starting Times are 10 minutes apart and Need to be implemented.. 10-12 minutes per Hole (Basically 3 1/2-4 hours to play 18 holes) … No Walker's especially when you’re on Social Security Benefits.. had these people ahead of us (65 plus) they wouldn’t say scramble to their ball and get their clubs ready .. They’d be waiting on Everyone in the Group to Hit… then go up to their ball and repeat .. let’s play Ready Golf.. Get To Your Shot and Keep Up Pace of Play .. No Waiting on the Tee Box 7 minutes for them to get outta the way … You’re Not McIlroy, Woods, DeChambeau and are not gonna hit the Group in front of you

An enjoyable morning round

You can’t beat low 60’s in Southern California in February! My wife and I had an enjoyable experience playing Woodley Lakes. The course was well cared for with newly mown fairways and well-kept greens (only minor exceptions). If you are Looking for a nice, full size 18-hole city course, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

Staff laziness

Big guy at the desk informed me that there’s no available golf cart and only push cart and electric cart that is available. He only offered me a push cart since there’s no available electric cart he said and when I get there in area there’s 2 available electric cart. I knew he didn’t check if there’s available and that’s laziness. Also there’s no available bucket of water available to soak your cleaning towel and so I used there hose and the guy who worked also in clubhouse told me there’s no available bucket of water because it’s raining. What a ridiculous answer. He even told me not to break he’s hose.
Staff are lazy and not friendly!!!
