Lousy day

Weather lousy first 9. Got a little better back 9. Had a 10:22 t time. Thats all I will say about conditions. Can’t be helped.
What I will criticize though is the Wi-fi here. Absolutely unacceptable!!! Management needs to get something done about this. Tried to call the pro shop, no connection .
This is a hazard and danger. Even in good weather the Wi-fi is very poor!! If someone has a medical emergency they won’t be able to get out on phone. Never saw a marshal!!!
This is one of my favorite courses, but I had to say something about the so-fi!
I will always come back

Green work

When I booked, they didn’t let me know that the greens were going to be aerated. Temporary greens in the middle of the Fairways like normal and useless to even bring out the putter. I wish they would let me know in advance, even though they gave me a $20 gift cert.

Do not play here

Could not even finish 9 holes because it started raiining so hard. The pace of play was also terrible as there were no marshalls in the course to regulate the pace of play.

Peak conditions

Spring valley might not be the longest or the coolest course off the tee boxes, but for a muni it’s in amazing shape right now and if you can avoid the wind it should be a very enjoyable day. Great walk and at its rate you can’t beat it, it almost looks like a country club.

Painfully slow pace of play

I think they need to extend the time between tee times because every time I play here it’s infected by slow play and beginners. It’s too bad because the course is fun but it’s not worth standing at the tee for 10 minutes waiting

Also, if you’re reading this and your a new golfer DO NOT GOLF HERE. Go to a par 3
