650am Tee time for Woodley Lakes Range was closed. So, I started chipping balls by the front and one of the maintenance guys rolls up on me and in the most condescending way yells, "can't you read"!? To which, I replied," yes" but the range is closed. He got mouthy, I was mouthy back then the range opened shortly after our chat. Playing golf and not being able to warm up when you"re old and crusty is a real bummer. Way too many ranges are closed in the am, yes I know theres maintenance however there was none being done today as the range was packed when I left. Moving forward. Tee Boxes, tee boxes were typical county some good some not as good but nothing so egregious that it would be noted. Fairways, fairways were decent for the most part and looked like they were trimmed and tidy. Lots of geese. Theres always lots of geese, today looked like a Nat Geo special on cranky fowl there were so many of them. Sand Traps, I was only in 1 and it was ok the sand wasn't too crusty this morning so I'd say they looked better than most like a 7/10. Rough. Heres where things get different at Woodley. While its wide and flat and you can basically try to break a rib hitting driver on every hole there are consequences for missing here. The course is in decent condition but the rough and patchy areas around trees, bushes and other areas can be real penal. So missing is cool but just be careful. Greens, greens were slow but in good shape. Lots of water on them but not too soggy. Big pitch marks today because of the water so you could get a little greedy. Holes 12 and 16 had some patchyness too them but nothing too major. POP, was pretty quick today 4 hours. Woodley is a fun course to live free and die hard on. The condition was good and for 28 bucks totally worth it for a pre round of work, and remember, don't hit balls in the front unless you want an English quiz.
