Valley cc

Both times I have played here the pin locations are in the dumbest possible spots. All front pins on a huge slope so you can wait for the groups in front of you to 4 putt before you’re approach shot and then proceed to do the same thing

rough turf conditions

We have been getting a lot of rain this summer, but the fairways were EXTREMELY spotty with lots of damaged turf areas. The rough was ridiculously long. I felt like I was playing a US Open. The greens were good but the cart paths and fairways were not good. Extremely bumpy ride in the cart path on both the paths and the fairways. It will be a while before I give the Valley another go.

Members only….

Appreciate the fact that they will take public money for a public course pretending to be private. Range yes but not if you are not a member Same apparently for drinks.

Slowest round of my entire life

This course is so slow it took 6 hours for us to get around and we never saw a single martial the entire day... I think they were given up.

Solid course!

Great bang for your buck here! Greens and fairways are in great condition and there are a handful of challenging holes. Staff is great and Jay at the bar is a good time! Will definitely play again and bring a couple of friends.

Fun Course

My wife and I played 9 and walked off the course just as the skies opened up! Enjoyed our round and the new drink menu for summer was fantastic! I will say the rough can be very very thick here at times which can make it difficult to chip around the greens. Overall a nice course, really nice carts. Will play again.

Greens were terrible. Needs lots of work. Bar and snack bar closed on Mondays. Hot and hungry didn't get solved here. Rough was patchy and weedy. Course layout wasn't bad.

Driving range issue a bummer (course is top notch)

I was all ready to write a negative review when i arrived at the course early to warm up, only to discover that the driving range is members only.

plan accordingly.

However, once out on the course all thoughts about warm up disappeared. the course is excellent. fairways, rough and greens are in sterling shape🧐. usopen rough. they have a collar or first cut that is deeper than most rough i've played this year and the second cut was deep. especially around some greens. it had poured the entire prior week, but the course still had run. wow!

ps- its somewhat difficult. small greens, lots of undulations. a golfers golf course. but that challenge did cause some slow play.
