Spring valley

A great hidden location in the hills behind Milipitas
Sun and the sound of peacocks frim the Vietnamese retreat behind.
Course was in good condition (hole 8 was closed because it was still a little soggy)
Plays best in the spring through autumn
Looks open but has challenging greens and the wind off the bay as its main defense
Great value for money
Tee times are every 7 minutes so 2-4 groups per hole but it all moves with 4-4.5 hour round on average.

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.
