Played on Sunday 4/21 around 1PM. I'll have to say that the greens are in extremely good shape considering how recently they punched them. They used those smaller punch holes with a wider pattern and did not appear to sand them. Overall the course is playing very similar to how it was before the maintenance. Tee boxes are good, fairways are firm and fairly fast but also have good turf coverage, rough is minimal (maybe 1-1.5") and generally without pockets or dry patches and the sand is plush in the bunkers I and my playing partners found. Greens were still on the firm side but definitely held well struck shots. My approach shots from around 100 yards out in the fairway would take one big hop and then stop. The greens are slower than they were a couple of weeks ago but I'd still rate them just a little past medium speed and very consistent from green to green.

Pace of play was typically slow for this course on the weekends, about 4 3/4 hours. I guess you can't have it all. I never grow tired of this course, it has the scenery, a sporty layout, good conditioning and it is extremely walkable. Although most people would consider this an 'easy' golf course, I find it difficult to score on. There is enough nuance to the course to keep you constantly challenged.

3/20/13. I haven't played this course in over 5 years but I decided to take advantage of the Bday offer and teed off late morning on a Wednesday. I chose to walk and I was pleasantly surprised by the entire experience. The staff was super friendly and they got me right out. I played as a single without ever catching anyone in front of me.

The course played as I remember it from years ago with some nice tweaks. The black tee box on the par 3's, #8 and #16, were pushed back. #16 is a bruiser from that tee box, especially playing into the wind. I think that is a great tweak as a course should force you to use different clubs on the par 3's. The other change is #11 playing as a long par 4. My only dislike of that hole is the mickey mouse green that was truly meant as a par 5 green.

Course conditions blew me away. Greens were just a hair past medium speed but all 18 were consistent. Not many unrepaired ball marks. Greens were firm but held well struck short and mid irons. Fairways were on the long side but offered great lies. It also helped slow down a few drives that were heading towards the bad stuff. I don't ever remember the conditions being this good at Woods Valley.

I'm putting this course back on my play list.
