It is absolutely enormous, there are multiple tennis courts, picnic areas, bridges (hence the alternate name "7 Bridges", trails, and much more. I remember first learning about this park while I was still in high school and running cross country races. This was our 4 race of the year, and the first where our race times dramatically dropped every season. Naturally, I grew very fond of this place. I have continued to visit and explore every inch of ground in the years since. Once again, 10/10 SUPPORT OUR LOCAL PARKS! pls

I've played mini-golf there several times, and some of the holes are pretty challenging, which keeps the course interesting. Pay for mini-golf in the pro shop. Sometimes they give you a ticket to take to the hut next to the mini-golf course, and you check in and get your putter there. Otherwise they give you the putter and scorecard in the pro shop. I've also used the driving range a few times. You walk into the pro shop to buy whichever size bucket of balls works for you, and head out to the range. The pro shop has what you would expect, and often offers fittings with specific club manufacturers. Check them out!

We played yesterday and left quite disappointed. The course is in very rough shape and in dire need of some TLC. I understand the fact that some of the holes couldn't be mowed due to the recent rains but it doesn't appear that any of the course has seen the lawn mower or a weed wacker recently. Our group lost a bunch of balls that were hit near or on the fairway. Hopefully changes are coming as we sure did like coming here over the years.

It has a driving range, putting green, and a full golf course (see the website for deets). I only come for the driving range, $4 for a small bucket and $6 for large, which is a bit expensive but what can ya do? There's no where else to go! Another plus? It doesn't give off the pretentious feeling some other places do, which makes for a comfortable experience.

Whistling Straits, it is not..but it is fun!…read more As long as you know what you are getting into, you can have fun at Woodlands. It is sort of a throwback, a memory of a bygone era, a small slice of Americana still alive and well today. Woodlands is a small, public course with no frills but lots of laughs. There is surprisingly water on almost every hole, along with lots of trees and fields to provide some hazards. The course is extremely short though. I think the first hole is about 90 yards. The longest may be 400. It is a privately owned 9 hole course that I prefer to walk and take in the scenery on. It is not in perfect condition, and does not have bells and whistles. It is a basic, short 9 hole course nestled somewhere between a par 3 and a short course with a spattering of par 4s. To walk it with a buddy and a couple of beers is a fun, relaxing way to get out for a couple of hours at a low price..i think it is $16 per person. When you are finished, there is an old school bar inside with a bartender hanging out waiting to serve you. I have never been here when it is overly busy, but I am sure it has it's moments. Good luck, hit the links, stick to birdies and greens, and try not to slice one into the farmer's field. FORE!

If you like my reviews, consider "following" my profile for reviews all across the SF Bay Area . Why "follow" someone? It causes the person you follow's reviews to tier to top when you pull up a business. I find this very handy when researching venues. Rod's Review grading scale explained. Essentially I personally base it on the likelihood of a return visit and I try to be stingy with 5 star reviews since they should be "special" in my eyes. Price/Value also play a role obviously but there are $ and $$$$ littered across my grading scale. 5 stars - "I'll go out of my way" (approx 6 % of my reviews) 4 stars- "If I was in the area I'd go here and would recommend", (approx 38% of my reviews) 3 stars "Maybe if was nearby", (approx 37% of my reviews) 2 stars -"Would likely not return, Only if you want to go", (approx 16% of my reviews) 1 star -"No thanks, even if I was hungry", (approx. 3 % of my reviews)

The barn was nice and clean. They have beautiful bathrooms. The wedding ceremony was at 500pm in front of the oldest hickory tree in the county. They set up 200 chairs with an aisle down the middle for the wedding party to enter. The property has a nice area to take pictures and enjoy and outdoor pre-reception. Our reception was inside the barn we ate comfortably and heard bride and groom stories, prayer, a charge from the father of the bride. Dinner was catered by Thunder Bay Grill. The wedding party DJ played nice taped music during the dinner. Dessert was a cheesecake. At the end of the reception we launched balloons with lights in them sending off in the air on a new adventure, just like the bride and groom. A beautiful night. I highly recommend this facility.
