Better than last year but still needs a lot of work. I’ve been playing here regularly for the past 5 years and the course has really deteriorated over that time. Tee boxes were in really bad shape. Fairways were pretty decent with most of the burned out spots recovered. Greens were recovering from aeration with most of the really bad spots healed from last year; very very slow though. Need to be mowed and rolled desperately. I really like the course layout and hope the can get it back to it’s former condition.

First time playing woodlands. I really enjoy the layout. Course was in pretty rough shape. I think it’s a little overpriced for the current conditions. With that being said I can see the potential. The staff was very nice and pleasant and even the pro shop told us the course was in rough shape. Would play again when I know it’s in top shape.

I recently played a round here for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed the course. Despite my unfamiliarity, I only lost a handful of balls, which is always a plus! The course was lush and very well maintained throughout. The pro shop was well-stocked with a great selection of merchandise, and the snack bar offered hot dogs, sweets, and salty snacks, along with a variety of brews, perfect for a mid-round refuel. My only minor complaint was the golf cart; it squealed quite loudly when accelerating and roared at takeoff, almost like it needed a custom exhaust. Just old carts. I'll be back. It feels good out there. It's a fun course to play.

First the good- great staff, good food, nice course layout. Now the bad Worst condition of any course I have ever played. Hit the ball on the green- had to move ball so I had grass to putt in between the ball and the hole. Tee boxes all torn up. New holes hadn’t been cut for some time - fairways were deplorable.

I played a solo 18 tonight passing through town. The kid in the proshop warned me that the course had gotten really burnt last week in the heat…and it for sure had. The fairways were fried (as seen in the photos). The greens still rolled alright and didn’t seem to be in that rough of shape. This course is tight af. Definitely can’t spray the ball around here. I played the tips (7,000 yards) and definitely enjoyed the layout of the course. The scenery was beautiful and the holes were unique with water, rolling hills, and the fairways were tight. All of the staff I ran into on the course was super friendly to me. Emmitt was the cart guy that greeted me when I got there and cleaned and loaded my clubs when I left. Super cool guy. The clubhouse and property was also really pretty. Just tough to see a pretty course like that in such rough shape.
