Played Friday 3/12 under pleasant late winter weather. Mid-morning POP 4 hours exact. Two days before was heavy rain and hail. The bunkers under mostly effected. Puddled muddy. Didn't affect my game didn't visit there.
Greens nice healthy but rolling med/slow a few unrepaired ball marks. Fairways some areas tight dormant, others green, nice lies either spot. Rough is getting healthier day by day. 2"+
Overall what I expected hadn't played here in awhile. Good muni-track. Like previous review hole #5 weird double dog with unseen hazards in fairway and front of green. Power lines above. I know the hole hate it and would blow it up. #11 short dog left par 4 needs some thought to play well.
Great round with good friends I don't play enough with.
$49 rack rate was ok. Beer $25 w/tip for a 6 pack of American named lager.

A little late with this review as I played Woodcreek on Sunday 5/26 with an old college friend. We were making our way up to a tournament and stopped in SAC area to visit friends and play golf. Bought a golf moose deal for $59 for 2 and had an 11:16 tee time. For a holiday weekend, it was pretty crowded but we played as a 2 some until joined by a single on the 5th hole. Not much waiting on any groups and finished in just under 4 hours.

The course is in pretty good condition overall. Fairways were green and lush. Not many bare spots and really nice lies. The rough was thick and lush. No issues with the tee boxes but many of them could have been mowed. Bunkers were not very good. The ones I were in were terrible. Not even sand but hard, compacted dirt. Best to stay out of them.

Greens were nice and rolled great. Average size greens but some undulations.

The layout is not my favorite. A muni layout really. Some blind shots especially #5. Fortunately, the single who played with us knew the course otherwise we would have really struggled. IMO, the back 9 is nicer with holes that have some nice mature trees that meander through some nice homes. Although the course is in nice shape and worth a stop to play but not sure if it will be on my can’t wait play again list.

Played this course in late September as part of my monthly golf group. Had never played the course and had heard mixed reviews, so we thought we would give it a shot.

Clubhouse and bar area are large, open, and well stocked. The facility looks more like a community center than a golf course and bar/restaurant, but it definitely serves its purpose and I felt welcome by all that I encountered there.

Course conditions were a mixed bag. The greens were excellent. Fast, rolled true, as good as almost any in the Sacramento area. Fairways and tee boxes, not so much. There were many unexplained bare spots in random places on the fairways. Not sure the reason, other than a possible irrigation issue as some areas were incredibly dry and super saturated. Bunkers contained little to no sand for the most part, but some had more than others.

The layout itself is fun and challenging, although there are a few blind doglegs and carries that you would need to play the course a few times to master.

There was no on course beverage cart, which was disappointing for a Saturday. The on course marshall was helpful and kept things moving. One of the best I've seen.

Not sure if I'll return until they fix the condition related issues, but this course does have some potential.

This was our second round on Sunday morning. We had a 9:29 tee time and used a Costco voucher for a good price, but they ran a little late and it was closer to 9:40 by the time we teed off. They said there was to be a single or another twosome to join us, but they never showed up when we were announced on the first tee. So, we played as a twosome amidst wall-to-wall groups on a super busy Sunday morning. We just jumped from shade to shade, sitting in the cart and watching the end of The Open in between shots. It was brutally slow on such a hot day, as we finished in just under 5 hours. Conditions were also pretty mediocre here. You can definitely see how the drought took its toll and they haven't quite recovered, as it is very rough around the edges. Tee boxes fine enough. Fairways had okay coverage. Lots of inconsistencies with shaggy sections and plenty of bare spots, too. Rough was a mixed bag, with some decent areas around greens and the rest being very spotty. Greens were firm and rolling pretty well. Definitely the best part of the course condition-wise. I wasn't in any bunkers, and that was probably a good thing based on what I observed. At first glance from the clubhouse area, this looks like it will be a really plain muni-style course. Those holes closest are kind of plain (9 and 18 are decent finishers with water in play). However, everything in between is fairly interesting as you get into the more wooded areas and lots of natural hazards are brought into play. Some fun/funky short holes for risk-reward opportunities. It's the type of course you probably have to play a few times to figure out. Layout was ultimately better than expected, despite lackluster conditions. Only worth playing if you get the right deal and you have plenty of time to spare.

Visiting the grandkids in Rocklin and they gave me a two-fer groupon for Woodcreek and Diamond Oaks, so I pulled a sixpez, er, double today. Played Woodcreek in the AM, getting out with a local twosome at 8:40AM on a sunny, warm day with almost no wind. This course (and Diamond Oaks) are City of Roseville munis that get a lot of play and are popular with locals. The course played through an open space zone with lots of scattered large oaks trees and grassy woodland, almost all out of the line of play. Some of those large oaks guard approach lanes to greens or restrict certain hitting lanes off some tees. Wild turkeys roam the grounds - I saw about 2 dozen. The overall ambiance is a pleasant walk through a forested area playing golf, and is generally very relaxing.

The course plays along and across numerous lakes, drainages, and swales, and there's a lot of red and yellow stakes to contend with. A mix of longer and shorter holes, with numerous doglegs where you're tempted to cut corners and bomb shots, but pinpoint accuracy is needed and penalties await.

Greens were great, uniformly smooth and rolled great at medium speed, getting faster toward noon as they dried out. Only neg was the large number of old and new ballmarks on each green. Some greens had a lot of internal movement and slope. Lies in fairways were generally good, but lies in the rough depended on whether you were in bushy grass, dirt, dried hay, hazard surrounds, or whatever. Tees were OK, although generally pretty torn up. Some were not that level. I wasn't in any sand.

No yardage book, a minimal distance measurement GPS in the cart (can't be removed), and not too much on-course markings. The pro shop provided a tip sheet on how to play each hole. Course knowledge would have been valuable on several of the short dogleg par-4s where tee distances and positioning are critical. The course was not crowded but we got behind a deliberate 3some and the POP wound up being just over 4 hours.

Recommended.

played this course yesterday Oct 13, 2014 with no rain in a month. In the middle of a drought this course is grossly overwatered. There are huge areas on many, many holes where balls plug and there are big tire marks from maintenance equipment. The fairways are bare in lots of places and they have recently reseeded them and that may be the main cause of the many wet spots that are unplayable. The greens are in decent shape as are the tee boxes. The rough has been allowed to grow very high causing real problems finding balls. This course is not worth what you have to pay to play it right now. Next year would be my guess as to when it will be worth the money.

I played on Saturday, June 23, 2012. Tee time was 11:08am. The course is in beautiful condition, except for some brown spots in the fairways. Greens were hard to read, some were fast, others were slow. Overall, I would recommend this course as a must play. the course is not overly hard, but is does have some deceptive holes. The pro shop personnel were very helpful and willing to help with any questions. The 19th hole was superb.

Woodcreek Golf Club features a generally flat yet winding layout through old growth oak trees, approximately half the course is bordered by homes. There are several environmental out of bound areas, on some holes a truly bad shot may end up difficult to locate if lost in the native grass/brush; there is a water hazard running along the 9th and 18th hole.

Overall the condition of the course is not very impressive, though the saving grace are the greens which play on the faster side and generally run smooth. Unfortunately the overall conditions of the tee boxes are poor as they are chewed up and uneven, both the fairway and rough suffer through thin spots in large patches. Aesthetically it's a nice course to be on with the large oak trees dominating the majority of the view, though once your ball finds the thin fairway or rough areas, it's not as fun to play as one might have hoped for.

Do note as of 1/6/12 it appeared the par 3 8th hole had recently been punched and sanded. The pace of play was excellent as I was able to rocket through the course in about 2.5 hours owing to minimal patronage and late tee time start on this day.

Buyer beware. If you plan on using a two for one coupon, you will get screwed. I just played there and brought a 2-4-1 coupon. Out tee time was after 12 pm and was considered twilight. The coupon I had only said good if used after 10 am. When I went to pay, my partners were able to pay the twilight rate of 20 dollars (plus 16 for cart). I on the other hand, had to pay 28 dollars (plus 16 for cart). When I asked why, the assistant manager, Jason, I believe told me he had to charge me peak price!! Although it says nowhere on the coupon, he says that goes for all 2-4-1 deals. He said if we were to play super twilight at a rate of 13 dollars to walk, we would have to pay 28 dollars! Two more dollars for one using the coupon, than for two people at regular rate! WTF! 13 dollars a peice or 28 dollars for one with coupon. What a crack of sh*t. But at least they want $1.60 for a re-fill of a $3.00 soda. What a bargain! Course is not worth it. Just spend your money where they might appreciate it.
