Great for first timers

Tried out this course for the first time. Easy and fun and I was paired up with another single and a lovely couple. Everything was great until my cart #29 literally broke almost on top of my head while arriving to the 16th green. I was lucky to have caught it when it cracked apart. The shield broke off and the metal poll that keeps the front of the cart steady also broke off. They came and got me a new cart. I asked to speak to the manager for maybe ya know a free round as I’m not a complainer whatsoever, he was on the driving range. I emailed him now twice and still no response. So I’ll see before I call and go from there. Other then that the rest of the staff were excellent and I had a nice round

Another Ray Goates design...

The single most unimaginative golf course architect ever known... boring design, zero challenge not helped by poor maintenance by city employees.

Close but no Cigar!

Love the fact thatvotvis close to home. Thatvis the real draw for us. But the fairways are a mess and the cost is expensive for what you get. It definitely is getting better and the carts are great and have been upgraded. The addition of The Best Ball Bar and Grill has made a big improvement! Please work on the fairways and then it will be worth the premium cost.

One of the best courses to play/hang out at in socal!

Course is in great shape, at least every time I play.
The food and drinks are very good. Great bar atmosphere. Great place to catch the game after a round of golf. I recommend this place to everyone I play golf with.

Horrible Fairways

This course has the best greens in the city…BUT…the rest of the course is garbage. Horrible fairway conditions. After all the rain we’ve had (which should make the grass very lush) the fairways looked like the course superintendent just doesn’t care. I got tired of hitting off hard pan and minimal grass under the ball. Makes it difficult to play wedges at all. You should all be embarrassed. Woodley Lakes is overcharging for this dump. If all you care about is putting, this is your golf course. If you like hitting irons to the green, go someplace else.

Like some have said the greens are shaggy and no good. The aerification still showing a bit. Played in four hours so that’s always nice. Fun day.

City course and it shows

Fairways were brutal and spotty. Rough wasn’t cut, lots of little white dandelions/flowers growing making it hard to find your ball. Greens were good but they have soccer golf flags up as well, bit confusing for first timers here seeing 2 flags from a distance. ( flags were similar too, soccer flag was orange but from distance could pass as a red). Course is wide open, and bit of a boring layout. Back 9 little better. Oh a random jogger on the path through the course picked up our ball. I know it’s a city course, but was disappointed in the shape of the course. Wouldn’t play here again

Decent course, recently aerated greens

The course was in pretty good shape for the most part. Tee boxes were in good condition. Fairways were a little patchy in places. The rough was pretty thick at times and the greens, while aerated 2 weeks ago, were still annoyingly hard to putt on. Between the 4 of us, we probably missed 20-30 putts because of it.

Not a fault of the course but the wind was constantly swirling and very gusty, making it hard to know how to play the correct yardage.

Woodley Golf!

They have done a great job with the carts, added digital score cards with course lay-out and distance settings. Along with Blue tooth sound system easy to connect to. Unfortunately the course is in pretty bad condition, the fairways are made up of different types of grass and weeds. The fairways are kind of "cut" out but not really defined. I would give the greens a 7-8, they have recently been punched but overall not bad condition. They finally opened the restaurant a few months ago, "Best Ball" , great wings and the staff are super friendly! Wish they would work on the course conditions it has so much potential.
