Nestled in 170 acres of an old walnut orchard, the 18-hole championship course is enjoyable for players of all skill levels. With water coming into play on several holes due to Covell Creek’s presence, the links style golf course enables the golfers to either enjoy the golf course, or tackle it, depending on skill levels and how risky you want to play.
Registration includes green fees, cart, box lunch, range balls, BBQ dinner and beverages at Woodland’s new Community & Sr. Center, closest to the pin contest, long-drive contest, tee prizes, awards and a great raffle.
