Woodley Lakes Golf Course is the most beginner-friendly of the three courses sharing the Sepulveda Dam Recreation Area in Van Nuys, designed from the ground up for accessibility and playability. Nine acres of water hazards spread across the 6,803-yard layout give it the Lakes name and add visual appeal, but wide fairways and large greens offset the water challenge — making this one of the most forgiving full-length courses in the LA City system. The course carries the lowest slope rating (114) of any major LA City 18-hole course, making it the best entry point for improving golfers in the Valley. Like Balboa and Encino, Woodley sits within the Sepulveda Dam flood-control basin and can be temporarily closed in heavy rain years. Flat terrain makes walking comfortable.
Woodley Lakes opened in 1975 as the third and final course built in the Sepulveda Dam Recreation Area, designed by Ray Goates with a clear mandate for accessibility. It is the newest and most beginner-friendly of the Sepulveda trio, serving the Van Nuys and surrounding Valley communities for 50 years.
Lower prestige and reputation as the beginner course in the Sepulveda complex keeps demand slightly below Balboa and Encino. Valley golf is busy on weekends but Woodley is among the more accessible options.
