Woodbridge Country Club used to be private but has now turned public. The members new their course, due to this, the now open to the public semi-private course is not very well marked, especially from the tees (including par 3's) so it is hard to determine how far it is to doglegs or bunkers. Overall this course requires a lot of local knowledge. There are many blind shots and a lot of elevation changes. Even getting from one hole to another is confusing.
As for positives, the course is in very good shape. The greens are difficult, but in good condition. We got an on-line special for $60 that included golf, cart, range balls, and lunch which I feel was a good value. However the normal price is $85 dollars and this does not include lunch. In my opinion this is a $60 course and not an $85 course.
Would travel: 20-30 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line:
Condition of Course, No Houses on Course, Clubhouse
