Stopped for a quick, first-time ever round at Woodhaven after concluding some work and before heading back home to LA. Was short on time so a short, regulation course seemed to fit the bill. Woodhaven is one of those property-first oriented tracks with the first part of both nines making a square around the perimeter of the residences, and the second parts on the interior. Not a lot of mystery as to what's happening at Woodhaven, but it's in nice condition and the service is fantastic. I called just ahead of arriving to see if they could accommodate me as a single and they were terrific. They even got me the twilight pricing and other discounts so huge props to the staff there, including the cart staff who were all wonderfully pleasant and hard-working. As for the course conditions, very nice indeed. The fairways actually look a lot more lush than they play, but every lie was quite good. A little bit on the thin side and requiring precise contact, but good nonetheless. Rough was great and the tee boxes (played from the blue tees) were in good shape as well. Bunkers were a little heavy and wet so difficult to play from. Greens were in very good shape, running around 10.5 and holding shots and lines well. This is not a course that's going to 'wow' you in typical Palm Springs fashion, and it's not going to make you sweat as it tops out around 5800 yards I think, but it's a fun afternoon in a pinch and the staff is so wonderful that it deserves a bit of your business.
