11/4 on senior Monday $29 playing as a 2some but helped by considerate 4somes to get through with a POP of just under 4 on a great SC am with a light breeze and sunshine. Conditions are fair to good as course is in transition season. Fairways are mostly thin which is great for roll out but requires more precision on the strikes. A few marginal lies but reason to celebrate when able to execute(more like conditions before the pro influence of expecting every blade of grass to be perfect). Rough is mostly thin and also on the dry side so not overly penal.
Tees are quite thin and many have been sanded so in a state of repair but playable. Bunkers were mostly ok rather damp but recently groomed.
Greens played much better than they looked having some varied coloration but well healed from punching. They were surprisingly quick and rolled smoothly while being receptive to well struck full shots.
Grass driving range, good carts but no active GPS(200-150-100 yd markers in fairway) large practice green that provided a similar speed to course conditions and layout and setting that provides a scenic challenge.
Friendly welcoming staff.

Played on a Sunday and the course was crowded but moved along fairly well. The greens were good but still had a few bumps from the last punching. Rolled well and were fast but you had a few times where the ball bobbled off line.
Fairways were dry but very few areas without grass., overall really nice to play from. Rough was mixed bag from dry to super lush clumps mixed in. Bunkers were disappointing as they were not dragged by the course for at least a day or two and had ridges and bumps all through them. Made for some really tough lies but at least there was sand in them.
Tee Boxes were thin and dry and mostly level.
Good customer service but no beverage cart but overall fun day with a challenging golf course.

Early Sunday morning four hour round. Staff always great here and helpful. The tee boxes were in okay shape with some a bit thin and dry. The fairways were in pretty good shape but somewhat drier than my last round here. There are a few fairways that have patches of bare dry sections throughout the course. The rough was also very dry and thin where it existed. Many holes have lateral hazards with long grass and brush. The traps were mostly damp and in better shape than I've seen them. The greens have totally recovered from maintenance and held shots very well. The golfers here REALLY need to fix their marks on the greens! There were so many ball marks in need of repair!! The long drive is forgotten with the reasonable rates and great scenery which surrounds this course.

Back out to Woods Valley, which is a course I have always enjoyed playing. I find the layout a lot of fun, with the holes offering enough of a challenge, but provides enough forgiveness to allow the round to be relaxing. Plus, I just love the back nine !

Conditions were a mixed bag, with some greens soft, some firm, inconsistent speed, same applied to the fairways, some wet, some dry ??? Only in one bunker which was fine, but looking at them, I could see there were some issues.

Staff as always was wonderful and using an Underpar coupon made it a bargain to play. Because I enjoy this course so much, I seem to be able to overlook the condition issues.

Early Sunday round in under four hours. The staff always great. The course is showing it's summer time. The tee boxes were a little thin, shaggy and beat up. The rough is pretty much gone with the only thing left is the scrub and bushes that line the fairways. The fairways are very dry and thin, Many of the fairways had dry dirt patches here and there. The sand traps are hit and miss with most having a need for sand and attention. The greens were mostly firm but had very good coverage with numerous ball marks. There were a few greens that were soft and held shots well while most were firm and did not hold anything. The water features are very low on a few holes as the heat continues to stress out the course. The overall conditions are really not too bad for the time of year and the greens were to be punched on Monday. I love the layout and area the course is located in and continue to recommend.

Played 9-21-19 7 am POP 3:50.
Course is in decent shape. Typical for this time of year here. Fairway's mostly dry with some areas that collect water being very wet this early in the morning. Some areas of the fairways have good coverage. Most areas a little on the thin side and some areas brown. Didn't really cause any big issues unless you found the browned out area. Firm underneath so good ball striking helpful. Traps were a mixture of hardpan and wet sand. Found a couple of them. If you are fortunate to land in a "raked" area they are not bad. Rough was mixed bag from very thin to very thick grass. Sometimes very close to green, which made chipping interesting.
Greens were the highlight. Very receptive and ran mostly smooth at about a medium pace. They were all in great shape. Even #14 which has had many past struggles. Really enjoy the layout and mix of holes. A fun day can be had here.

Finally got to play some golf this last Sunday, as i have been nursing a fractured hand ... Joined some old friends at Woods Valley in Valley Center played a little scramble. One thing i always notice is how dry and hard packed the driving range is which always make me worried on course conditions. One thing to note is Valley Center area is under water restrictions and the range receives minimal water.

As we hit the course we notice the course is in much better shape. Tee boxes have decent coverage and are much softer than the range. The fairways have good coverage as well but can be a little dry. Some bare spots here and there but nothing that really disrupts your game. Sand traps were the only thing that I would give negative marks to. Most were wet and rock hard with not much actual sand left.

The highlight of the day would be the greens. Greens were lush and in fantastic shape. They felt soft and received shots but rolled at medium fast speed. Most put rolled true and steady with no bumps at all. This course is a fun layout and you must actually think out your shots. Gripping it and ripping it will get you in a lot of trouble. Overall I am always pleasantly surprised by Woods Valley and look forward to playing again.

8/9 using golf moose $59 2some on a warmish but overall pleasant a,m. 8300 tee time off a few minutes early at a leisurely pace what with some errant shots and searches with no waiting until 14 when we caught up with the early groups. POP just under 4. Fairways were generally on the thin side with the possibility of the ball finding gaps in the grass to be sitting on dirt. Still about 70% ok to good lies. Did get good rollout however. Rough was about 2 inches along the fairways sometimes whispy and others thick and juicy--in either case definitely impeded forward energy and often made for a difficult extraction. Then around the green was the really thick and long stuff sometimes looking like it was processed by a kitchen aide mixer. Miss the green at your peril.
Tees level but a little thin but not beat up. Bunkers had decent sand and generally were groomed but occasionally still wet from the watering.
Greens mostly good rolling medium speed with a little grain to factor in as they have been cut a little longer to prevent heat damage. Greens are receptive to full shots but firm enough to be able to keep up speed on chips. Way too many un-repaired/poorly repaired ball marks.
Easy friendly check in .

One of my favorite courses to play ! Just "fit's my eye". I find the diversity of the holes very enjoyable and particularly the back nine, the way it kind of winds through the trees/valley. Great design which provides many fun holes, without being too tough, but also no pushover either.

Condition was a mixed bag. Greens were the best part of the course, fairways were hit or miss, the rough was thick and juicy. Worst part of the course were the bunkers.

Great staff. Always friendly and accommodating. Very well priced. Wish it were closer because I would play here a lot more.
