Sorry to see it go

I've played this course many times over the years. It was never in very good shape but the price was right and the layout is fun, if you keep it in the fairway. The new owners made some improvements but jacked the prices way up. It got to the point where you could play far better courses for nearly the same price. The course was packed all summer due to the coronavirus, like other courses. If the owners couldn't make it with packed play and jacked up prices, they were never going to make it. That said, this course closing will leave a hole in golf availability in the moderate price range.

Fair course. Good for beginners.

Played on a wet wet Saturday. Staff was nice. Easy to get on and off course. Course is perfect for learning. Open fairways, not super long and rewards good shots. Not in the best shape, but for the right price, a good value.

Not worth it

Overpriced, no variety, straight with terrible fairways and greens

Front desk person was rude..

Arrived for an early round (740am) with my buddy having bought 2X18 holes using GolfNow. Was told that I only could have one golf cart. Was told "you need to read the fine print". I argued that there would be many cancellations that day because of predicted rain. (which arrived just as we finished the 18th hole) He relented begrudgingly, "just this last time".When we finished there were half of their total supply of carts still available. It was like he was doing us a favor when in fact we were two of very few who played that day. Terrible customer service. But the course was in good shape. They have improved it from last year.

Highly. Recommend

Hard work system off. The staff has worked hard to make this a enjoyable course. from staying ahead of the mowing to trimming the fairways and greens. Checking in the staff shows they appreciate your business. I would recommend Woodford Lakes for an enjoyable round of golf.

Good time

Everything was ok! Not a lot of golfers on the course so pace of play wasn’t an issue this time. The fairways were a little more dead than usual but nothing the got in the way of gameplay.

Looking good

Played last year and was very disappointed. Went back today and was impressed with the work the staff has done. The course is in good condition and well manicured. Will definitely play here again.

Sprinklers and mowers

On 3 holes the sprinklers were still on! I teed off at 8 am and even on the back nine I hit my drive right in the middle of the fairway and in the path of the sprinklers! I had to wait for it to go around and hurry up my shot so as to not get soaked. The mowers seemed like they were on every hole. Very hard to concentrate on your shot when you have mowers right next to you and in the middle of the fairways. You should think about mowing earlier or later so the players can enjoy the course better. Thank you for mowing and keeping it nice, but the timing needs to be fixed

Great Inexpensive Track

Played this course 30 years ago and to be honest I think it's much better now. Nice putting green and irons only range. Staff was friendly. Fairways and Greens are pretty well kept and the rough is ok but for the value is well worth it. Will absolutely return for more rounds and look forward to the next round.

Good Shape and a good time

This is not a country club, it does not have a fancy pro shop or clubhouse, but the course was a in great shape and we had a good time trying out a new place. Greens, Fairways, Tees, were all in very good shape. Greens were running much slower than other courses around but given our stretch of scorching heat and no rain I was pleased to see they were not burned out. This course is tougher than it looks especially if you miss a fairway!! Pretty flat overall which is unusual for our area, but you must be able to put the ball in play off the tee. Lot's of tree trouble will eat up your strokes quickly. While it is not my favorite course near me I must honestly say it was fun, challenging, in great shape, and staff was very friendly. I'll come back and play again when I can straighten out my tee ball!

If you think this is the old Cabin Brook course you would be wrong.

This course has defined fairways and boxes. The greens have fringe and roll smooth. There is still heather but a lot of heather has been removed. They work the course all the time it is always in great condition. The speed of play is good I just played the 4th of July in 3 hrs. 15 minutes. T-time was 9:10. They take precautions on Covid-19 with pool noodles in the cup, The cart are cleaned after being used. The amenities are basic candy, water and drinks due to Covid-19. The staff is friendly and courteous. If you’re looking for a new course check them out. The closest I’ve ever came to a hole in one was here too.
