Monday 7/23-- started 11am & finnished befor 2:30. This is a muni and not very changeling, if all you want to do is go out and hit the ball around on a week day, this is a fine place for it. The greens are smooth and rather soft and kinda slow, not so slow to drive you crazy, but not near quick. Tee boxes are very good, flat and well kept, as I said this is a muni and nothing is perfect, the rough can be punishing at times. Fairways are ok. All and all not a bad place for a weekday tune up.

Played today around 11am. 2.5 hour pace. Course is in good "muni" shape. Greens really well maintained. Under $40 with cart.

Keep expectations low and this track will surprise you. Fun, stress free rounds to be had here as the fairways are wide and there are not a whole lot of traps or water hazards.

Good place to work on your game. Recommend.

Wide open course with very little trouble. Greens and tee boxes are OK. Fairways are not maintained with 15 different types of grass, feels like the only maintenance they do is mowing and watering. Hardpan and dirt lies everywhere. Pace of play was fantastic for a Saturday afternoon. Overall OK but when you consider $45 to walk (non resident rate) Ill play elsewhere.

Played there Monday (4/9) and was really taken aback by some of the conditions. The fairways were thin and half the time you were hitting off hard-pan lies. The greens were very bumpy and uneven. They are doing aeration next week so that may have had something to do with that. Grass around the greens was patchy and uneven and the sand, well sand at an LA City Muni is always bad. I felt like I was playing an overpriced goat track in Ohio. Someone needs to take the groundskeeper to task there. I've always liked playing at Woodley and shot my best round there years ago, but I will not go back until they do something to improve this place. Do yourself a favor and avoid this course for now as it is definitely not worth the greens fee.

Played Woodley today in a little over 4.5 hours. Course was steadily busy but kept a reasonably consistent pace. Basically, refer to the previous posting and not too much more to add. Fairways were parched—thin, firm, and dry, but not many actual bare spots. Visually, they are splotchy with mix of dry and green areas. If you don't mind playing off tight lies, you'll get a lot of roll and the greens are good. In my opinion, based on observation and only a little direct experience, the bunkers were also pretty good—not fluffy, but generally smooth and raked with decent sand. It ain't a resort, but if you "know before you go" it can enjoyable enough if your expectations are appropriately calibrated. I enjoyed it.

Played 3/4/12 - very dry fairways. Lots of brown spots. If you hit a decent drive and kept it straight it would run and run. Greens were pretty good. Played on Sunday and we waited on every tee on the front 9, then the group ahead of us left and the back 9 opened up.
$40 seems expensive for this very open and wide course that's in OK condition for the winter. All of the LA City courses are this price so there's been a bit of grumbling. Now that daylight savings will kick in this wknd I can wait & play later & pay less.

Played Sunday morning; third group out at oh-dark-thirty (7:00 a.m.). A little dark on the first hole; I don't know how the jack rabbits can see. First group out was three ahead of us easy. The course is in fair condition. Greens felt a little on the slow side, but having just played at Angeles National just two days ago made for a learning curve here. Hole one green had some spots of dead grass, but rolled fine. It looks like it is recovering from some kind of fungus. Hole four was bumpy all over; looks like a different kind of fungus got this one. Other than that, the remainder of the course was decent. I did not notice any severe ball marks on greens. Fairways seemed to be cut low and dried out as the day progressed. One thing to note: you want to STAY OUT OF THE ROUGH! It was brutal. Hard to hit the ball out of 3 to 5 inches of wet fescue. We had trouble finding a couple of balls. Sand traps had decent sand, but were not well maintained. The pro shop looks like they are closing, because it was nearly empty. Someone said this is their last day. Nice practice areas with a bunker area, large putting green, pitching green, and grass range. Pace of play was stellar at 3:50 walking. Cost to play was $40 walking (resident rate; out of area is $5 more).

Played Mon 6/27 as single walk on. $33 with push cart. Nobody in front or behind me, so played 18 in under three hours, teeing of mid-day. Caught up to another single at 9th, but he didn't want to pair up, so played right through.

Staff friendly. Fairways good, rough needs to be mowed - seemed a little deep, greens in above average shape. I'm still surprised that people leave huge ball marks - that's just poor etiquette.

Course is pretty wide open, so not overly difficult, but fun. Hot in the valley - bring water, no beverage cart.

Will return, well worth the price for a muni.
