Great day on the course

I played this course for the first time with a friend yesterday. While the cost was a bit more than I expected, I was impressed with the course. Overall, it's fairly well kept and shows minimal wear even through it was quite busy. The holes are nicely laid out and interesting. Despite it being mid day on a sunny Saturday, the pace of play was quite good. We finished in about 4 hours despite a 15 minute delay on the 9th hole. I look forward to playing this course again.

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

Good just slow

The course is great, greens are fast. It played slow, the groups in front of us was playing off the wrong tees and causing a back up for the rest of course. Would love to see the Marshall ask them to move up tees when they see this much of a back up.

Very slow pace

As most of people playing here select Walking option so I think the club should use 10’ interval instead of 7’ to avoid jam on the course..
