Woody’s Golf Range

Never had a chance to go, but wanted folks to catch that Woody’s is no longer operating (Closed permanently on Nov 1^st)
Too bad… looks like it would have been a fun place.

Woody’s has closed — the FFX County and VA DOT street «improvements» on route 7 decimated the business so the owner sold the land to housing developers — no more Woody’s but lots of good memories

This putt putt course is great! Very creative and fun theme. It’s not too pricey at about $ 10 per adult. We were there on a Sunday and waited behind only six people. They spaced out the groups perfectly so that we were never waiting on the group in front of us or holding up the group behind. Great local business to support!

If Humphrey Bogart took you for a round of minigolf, you’d end up at Woody’s. Themed on a lost jungle adventure, there are animals that spit water, tikis that reject your golfball, and a lost tomb that literally seals you in! Best minigolf I’ve seen in Northern Virginia.

We came here for part two of date night on a Friday. This 18 hole mini golf course is set up with an Indiana Jones type adventurer theme, from the tickets that you purchase inside («passports») to the displays at each hole. The design was really thorough and creative, and has fun interactions like moving animals, sound and water effects. There really is something to look at at each hole. However it seems that a lot of it is getting rundown and needs an update.
We waited about 20 minutes or so before we were able to start, and had to wait at most holes. I thought that $ 10.50 per person was a little steep for mini golf.
I had fun, but probably wouldn’t go again unless someone else really wanted to go.

Woody’s has a nice mini golf course and driving range, but there are some cracks in the proverbial façade.
Woody’s is basically a golf place with a well-​reputed mini golf course (Perils of the Lost Jungle) that is itself worth the price of admission. Prices are reasonable for all attractions, meaning this could be a great family event location.
The mini golf here is fun, albeit with a few minor hiccups. There are animatronics, crazy shots, and some really cool effects — and I appreciate the amount of effort that went into the place. It’s dumb, corny fun, which is exactly what you want in a place like this. Most holes are missing clear places to start and there are some places where the attraction appears slightly worn out, but it didn’t really detract much from the fun. For those with kids, there are also places where you might have trouble — namely, one shot where the ball could possibly fall into a «stream» and end up in a small «lake».
Also, be warned, some kids might be slightly bothered by the skulls/“scary” parts of the attraction — there aren’t many, but this is probably a bit more intense than most mini golf courses.
The driving range here is also fun. There are obviously a lot of serious golfers here, but it’s a bit more fun if you suck, at least in my mind.
All in all, this is a fun and unique place that I’d recommend trying at least once.

I would give this place negative reviews if I could. Customer service is absolutely horrible. Management is disgusting. I wish I had read the previous review before bringing 4 children here. Even though I had no intention on participating, I was still charged $ 10.50 for entry? They should be ashamed of themselves fpr ripping people off. I will never go again and I will never suggest anyone go.

So sad … someone put a chunk of dollars into the Miniature Golf at some time in the past and they are now charging $ 10/​adult and $ 9.50/ child for a course that is getting run down and is completely non-​managed and not even swept. They post that max groups size is four. Since there is such a lack of management, that is not the case and it therefore takes so long to go through the course. It is such a mess that I do not think that I would come back. Good luck.

If Disney’s Jungle Cruise and Indiana Jones had a mini golf course baby, it would be Woody’s Perils of the Lost Jungle.
Even if some of the gimmicks and music seem a bit familiar (ok, the music is literally Indy’s soundtrack), this is a really fun place to go in the Northern Virginia suburbs.
This was our first visit despite having lived here for 5 years. We didn’t know the place existed. We arrived at 8:30pm on Saturday of Memorial Day weekend and had no wait. (The Sun had just set – definitely a plus to go at dusk or later.)
For where it is and its size, this place is astoundingly good mini golf. Cute stories, theming, and well balanced holes. (You want each hole to be fun and varied but not take forever to play, ya know?)
Everything was extremely well maintained. All the special effects, animated characters, music, and lights were properly working and triggering.
The greens were in great shape. (No sign of glue on the greens like one of the reviews here said… Must have been a temporary issue.)
It took the two of us about 45 mins to play the 18 holes, stopping for photos and enjoying the experience along the way.
I deny being startled and scared by one of the effects during one of the holes. (Ok, two of the holes. Hush.)
Very enjoyable.

DO NOT SUPPORT THIS PLACE!!!
Wait until the horrible owners go out of business and have to sell it to someone who appreciates their customers.
I was visiting Virginia last week helping my sister with her children while her husband was gone for work for the week.
I played mini golf there on Monday at 11AM with my mom, dad, sister, and her 3 year old and 5 month old daughters. The 5 month old obviously couldn’t play and my mom and dad were going to take care of her in the stroller and not play, while my sister, niece, and I played.
The ungrateful cashier wanted to charge my mom, dad, and baby $ 10.50 to simply walk with us and watch.
Instead of having a nice family outing, my dad stayed behind with the baby while my sister, mom, niece, and I played golf.
With about 4 holes left, the baby needed to feed and my dad came into the course so she could eat. He stayed with us for the last 4 holes and after finishing, the course employee was standing near the green with her arms crossed while giving us dirty looks. I also overheard hear say to another employee, «I told him not to go in there!»
We were the only people on he course and woody’s should be thankful that we were there to give them business on an early Monday morning.
Woody’s…I’m so sorry my baby niece needed to eat. But don’t worry, we will never go to your place again until you go out of business and have to sell it. My sister will be telling all of the local groups she is in not to support you so hopefully you will be out of business as soon as possible!

Pretty cool little set up. Came to play putt-​putt with my wife one weekend and was surprised at how cool the place was.
There was a small wait but we were is no hurry. Great story line for the course and the holes were not overly difficult. I can see this being great for kids as well as enjoyable for adults.
I’ll be back for sure.

I love spending an afternoon here. They’ve got a great putt putt course, driving range, and batting cage. Lost a star due to price and the fact they charge you to use a club at the driving range. Come on guys, they’re not even good clubs. Most places let you use them complimentary.

The miniature golf rivals anything you would find at a tourist destination. I actually think it is better. The safari theme is well done. It is a little scary for toddlers, but great for anyone older. While I have yet to do it, I plan to have an adult only outing one day. It is definitely a don’t miss location for those looking for family friendly fun in northern Virginia.

This place is fun! I like the whole Indiana Jones/​safari theme going on. There were a few surprise holes (not going to reveal any spoilers) that made the experience interesting. Most of the holes were missing the mini golf tee mats, though, so I think it’d be helpful if they were there! I don’t know of many mini golf areas near DC, so this is a great addition (although a bit of a hike)! Reasonable prices as well.

This is a review of the miniature golf course: I LOVE mini golf and this jungle-​themed course, I think, was a little too easy — or maybe I’m just that good? Haha… no. No, I don’t think so. Many of the holes were just not very challenging; however, the experience through the course makes trying it out worthwhile. You will encounter various animatronics and very well thought out jungle-​themed décor. While you wait for the people in front of you to finish playing their hole, stop and take a look at all of the detail that was put into the course. It has a very Indiana Jones-​y feel. Warning: you may get wet while playing some holes! You won’t get drenched or anything, but more of a squirt here or there if you play too slow… so watch out for the alligator (crocodile?) that suspiciously props its head out of the water… I wouldn’t take a closer look if I were you!

I love Woody’s! When the weather gets warmer I look forward to many more rounds of putt-​putt there. My favorite thing is to bring people here for the first time and not tell them anything about the course. It’s hilarious watching their reactions to the animatronics.
Full disclosure: the gorilla scared the bejesus out of me the first time I played that hole and I now delight in watching him do the same to my un-​suspecting friends. Mwahaha

Stay Away!!! Played miniature golf here today and they had glue seeping out of the holes and on the greens. It ended up all over our shoes, hands, and golf balls. We told management but they didn’t care and didn’t do anything about it. This could have been a really nice course.,

It was a very humid day in the DC Metro area and yet I still decided to make my way here for some putt-​putt action on my day off. My husband and I made our way into the caddy shack area to pay for our 18 holes and get our «passport». If you don’t have a passport you can’t get into the putt-​putt course. The caddy shack had cold drinks for $ 2, ice cream, snacks and some golf items.
We had to stand in line to even get to the course for about 20 mins so I would have been mad not knowing that before hand. Anyway, you get to choose your club and the color of you ball. The course make up was very impressive compared to other putt putt places I have been to before. Most of it was cheesy but still fun. The day I went was super crowded and we had tons of people just standing around waiting for the next hole to open. One thing this course implemented was that you can only get 6 stroke max per whole.
I have to give this place 4 stars because I got 2 hole in ones. :)

GOLF RANGE ONLY
Golf club rental ($ 2)
Golf balls: Jumbo ($ 13), Large ($ 10), Small ($ 7)
Woody’s Golf Range honestly leaves much to be desired in terms of aesthetics. This is golf, right? Not that I know anything about golf, but isn’t it supposed to look good! Not just your swing, but your equipment, your apparel, the people you’re with, the course, the facility. It’s all supposed to look… well…preppy, right? j/​k.
You get the idea though. So a gravel side walk, sagging interlocking brickwork, old metal tables, beaten up rental clubs, no club room that offers respite from the elements… I mean this place is just screaming for a renovation.
If all you want to do is hit some golf balls to release pent up frustrations, then this places gets the job done. If you want a nice place to relax while making a few swings, you can find better facilities. Perhaps that’s what the miniature golf is for.
One thing that initially turned us away was a sign that said all must pay an admission fee. Literally, we turned around and left because not everyone knew how to play golf (including me). It was later that we realized the admission fee only pertained to miniature golf.

Fun African safari themed mini golf course with much more «theme» than most courses. Take a few minutes between holes to notice all the signs, statues, etc. As for the golf, it’s a challenging course and I enjoyed it but I’d have enjoyed it a bit more if my wife hadn’t destroyed me on it (she won by around 11 shots).
One warning, if you go on a weekend it can be crowded so be ready to wait between holes.
