Nice Course

Decent course for the price. Only problem was they were way over booked. We paid for 18 but only played 9 due to darkness. They did however give us a rain check for 9 holes another day.

Great For Beginners

First Time at Pine Valley, and wow where do I start. The conditions were pretty good, tee boxes and greens were fantastic. The fairways were pretty swampy on some holes, and I’m pretty sure Shrek isn’t a permanent resident. The layout was great and the facilities/ staff was awesome! The only big negative was the pace. It wasn’t abysmal, but it looked like the group in front of us was trying to hit a marble with a garden stake most of the time. I mean it looked like I was one of the better players on the course, and that’s saying something because I played like crap. Anyway, will have to give this course another shot sometime soon!

Keep trying but this may have done it.

Well over 5 hours. Won’t be able to finish the round.
There was actually a 6some on the course and several 5somes.
Used to play the course a lot. Then the first new ownership was terrible. The r cent owners seem to be trying. But pace of play and fairway condition will keep me from ever coming back.
I’m done.

A great time!

I went with two friends, one being a very new golfer. The holes are relatively short and narrow but it’s a beautiful place. All of the people both customers and employees seemed really nice and laid back, I would definitely recommend this course if you’re looking for a nice casual place to play.

Hard and dry

The reviews I read were all over the place but I decided to try it out anyway. Greens were actually ok. Everything else was rough. Fairway were not kept up. Tee boxes were hard. Couldnt tell fairway from rough most places. A few holes had a nice layout but not enough to intice me to go back.

Slow

Teed off 15 minutes late. 18 holes took over 5 hours. The fairways were like hitting from a parking lot. Greens were actually decent, but the rest of the course was very rough.

Great round

The course itself has a lot of mature trees. Some bunkers had sand, others did not. I like the course. It is fun and I played great. It is not a long course but the trees make a difference. The greens are also difficult with a log of slope.

Getting better

Getting closer. Greens are much better. Not fast but not super slow either. Fairways also getting better.
However there is room for improvement. Water and or lack of may be an issue but the fairways need to be shorter. There also needs to be a first cut of rough. The grass off the fairway is unfair. We were searching for balls just off the fairway often. This all being said the course is headed in the right direction. We had a very good time and pace of play was ok for Sunday.
The clubhouse has improved exponentially and the staff was great.

SURPRISE!!!!

I had not played Pine Valley in years as it had been a cow pasture with no discernible fairways. New ownership has turned the course around and it is now a favorite. The conditions were great and its management is customer-centric. We will play again and again.
