Fairways had been punched late September and recently the areas around the greens and bunkers not fringe. Some par three white tee boxes (#8 for sure) need some over-seeding.
Had a great season here taking advantage of a ten play package usually offered in the early season. This was the second year using that plan.
Let it snow soon...

Played out GK Cup match out here Sunday afternoon, teeing off at 2:10 PM. Everything seemed pretty consistent with Covid rules, nothing out of the ordinary.

Played out GK Cup match out here Sunday afternoon, teeing off at 2:10 PM. Everything seemed pretty consistent with Covid rules, nothing out of the ordinary.

I've always been a big fan of Woods Valley. I know the back nine kind of gets most of the attention with holes back in the trees/canyons, but I think there are some really interesting holes strategically on the front nine as well. Overall I think it's a tough but fun course to play.

The conditions were a bit of a mixed back for me. Fairways were kind of hit and miss and felt pretty bare in some spots which led to a bunch of run out, sometimes causing holes to play much tougher. I was in one bunker and it was a bit firm but without much care of them lately with covid I don't really mind. The greens were pretty slow and bumpy from my perspective. The upside is that they were really healthy so seeing as they are going to be punching in a week or so, recovery should go great and they'll be back to cutting them shorter. All in all I think the course conditions are more than playable, it just feels like they've taken a bit of a beating with the amount of hot weather and increased play.

Gary got us a good deal ($45 with cart) and at that rate I felt I got really good value. As temperatures cool and the course goes through its normal maintenance it's going to come out the other side looking great. I'll be excited to go back.

A little late with this review as I played DB on 10/14 with a 7:50 tee time for 4 of us. We checked in a little early with the young man behind the counter who was not exactly the most customer friendly guy in the world. Get this kid in a customer service class soon please. He could use it. We kept asking him when we will go off and would he call us to the tee. He said on... » More

A little late with this review as I played DB on 10/14 with a 7:50 tee time for 4 of us. We checked in a little early with the young man behind the counter who was not exactly the most customer friendly guy in the world. Get this kid in a customer service class soon please. He could use it. We kept asking him when we will go off and would he call us to the tee. He said only when all have checked in. Well, we all checked in but we kept having to come in and find out when we could go to the tee. Hate that and fortunately it wasn’t too crowded. Anyway, we got off about 20 minutes late. Oh well.

Fairways were in pretty good shape even though it is cut down kikuyu. Still pretty lush and in the fairway, we got good lies for the most part. The rough wasn’t as nice. Pretty bad lies on hard pan and weeds. Bunkers were not as bad as they looked. Damp but playable even though many were not raked. Tee boxes are under repair or something as they have been raked over.

The greens were in pretty good condition. Not real fast unless you’re putting downhill.

I really enjoy the lay out here. Pretty challenging playing to around 6,800 yards from the blues but the freeway noise is brutal. Can’t even carry a conversation with anyone. I knew that already but it was particularly loud on this day with the heavy traffic. Noticed that they are opening a new hole. #3, a par 3 is being replaced with a different par 3 just off to the side of the original one. Not open just yet but it looks real nice. I’m not rushing back to play here anytime soon. A nice change of pace but playing it every couple of years or so is just about right.
