Friendly staff, course in great condition but greens were not.

The staff were very friendly, the course was in great condition but looked like the greens had been hollow tinned and not been rolled so putting was a lottery. Shame about the greens as course and greens usually are excellent. Must have been course maintenance week at start of the week but not advised.

Very enjoyable round of golf. A slow round following last group of a Texas Scramble 3 ball. But I was happy not to pressure group or rush as no one playing behind.

Summer

Course was quiet, teed off early, no holdups but still a long round, it was hot with little shade and the on course water fountain was not working. Fast fairways, greens in excellent condition. Definitely play there again with a hot tee time it’s excellent value

Another good day at Crane Valley

Course fully open despite recent rain, and very little sign of flooding. Greens in good nick. Great course this, fairly forgiving but a few testing holes as well.

Good track

Played before many times. Decent layout and a fun challenge. Played midweek so fairways not the best condition but nothing really to complain about. Played mid afternoon. Pace of play was good but can be troublesome due to popularity of the course.

Course fully open

Considering the amount of rain the course has held up well., only a few areas where it was a bit wet under foot. Greens weren't the best, some have patches so putting was rather bumpy on occasion. Grass on 1st cut of rough quite long.

Really enjoyable course, Greens in perfect condition

Unfortunately, our front nine was spoilt by a very slow 2 ball who would not speed up or let us through.
It rained most of the afternoon, but we enjoyed the course. Some fairways a bit bare but understandable after the hot weather. The greens were the best I've ever seen them, playing here for 14 years. A credit to the greenkeepers.

Golf

A group of us decided to take advantage of the nice weather on BH and play a round of golf and booked Crane Valley. We were not disappointed, the course is in good condition esp. considering the hot weather recently, The greens were in excellent condition and made putting challenging.

As a 4 ball we ended up letting a couple of 2balls through but the time was acceptable for our round, and most of the group managed to only loose one ball.

Overall a very enjoyable course and day. We will be back!.

Revisited after 18 years

Used to play CV many years ago when I lived locally, was back in the area this weekend so took the opportunity to pay a visit, It used to be a members club, but now appears to be part of a group, I’ve always liked the layout, but have to say the condition is. A long way short from what it was, the bunkers were appalling, and many areas were unkept, tee boxes were probably using the same little strip they had done for ages, despite the large holes it was difficult not to stand in.
