Carved from acres of rolling countryside, Valley View Golf Club blends seamlessly into its surroundings. The scenic setting has led to the club being known simply as "The View" amongst locals. It has been a standby for the area's golfers for more than 55 years. The hilly terrain provides some interesting slopes throughout the golf course. The watered, fairways are generously sized, but they are lined with mature trees so they still demand a fair amount of accuracy. The medium-sized greens are undulating and vary in speed from medium to fast. The golf course has an ideal combination of challenges balanced with more forgiving features that appeals to a variety of different skill levels. Both beginners and more experienced players looking for a casual round will enjoy Valley View Golf Club.

Good course!

Liked the layout of the course with the hills, especially the second 9 holes. Fairway condition was good, greens are fair ( better if more maintain). Staff friendly. Can't tell the real pace because there were very few people played. Will play again if got chance.

Very nice 👌

Course is great! Mix of challenges. Back nine has some redesigned holes which gets a bit confusing without updated score cards. ( Also, and I know it isn't the fault of The View, my Garmin watch got completely baffled on back nine.) Really like this place and will return very often.

Under a lot of construction.

I would not recommend this course right now because it is under a lot of construction….They are changing the layout a lot on the back 9…I feel like it will be fine when this work is completed.

Great course with huge potential

Play 9 holes the other day. Great course layout. Wasnt so busy that you had to rush your pace. Really enjoyed being able to practice, refine skills and mechanics which allowed me to enjoy and appreciate the game. You dont get that most courses because the hoards of people that golf bow a days. Course is still constructing the landscape and will only keep getting better. Futre 5 star course im certain.

Good course with bright future!

Valley View is under new ownership and has made remarkable improvements not only to the course but clubhouse, roadways, etc. Changing the course design to include a winery that’s currently being built shows the amount of love and money invested into it. The owners are super friendly as well as the head pro Chris and the rest of the staff. The front 9 is kind of old school back and forth holes (which they plan to redesign) the back is more spread apart and a bit more challenging. When the newly redesigned holes (11,12,16,17,18) are open for play VV will be dramatically better with 11 in my mind being the most beautiful par 3 in Fairfield county. VV is more than just golf it’s a great place to hang out. Look for this course to be all around a spectacular place in a couple years!

Course is under recent new ownership and management. 3-4 holes were under heavy construction, altering the layout and playing experience. But price was reasonable for the conditions, staff knowledgable and friendly.

Challenging but Fun

Course is in great shape, greens are fast and deceptive. The only issue I had was the somewhat confusing routing of the cart path on the back nine. It was my first time there so it could be that. But overall, I liked it and I will play again.

Good course

Staff are friendly and accommodating. Greens are pretty hard and fast for being half way through the season. The back 9 is definitely going to be well worth it once complete. Hopefully get some newer carts in the near future, the current ones are getting a bit tired.

Our favorite course close to home

"The Views" are beautiful on this course especially near sunset. For newcomers please have some patience and understanding as there is some new construction with the development of new holes and a winery/restaurant coming on the back 9. The food is realky good and they offer pizzas, subs and more! The clubhouse is newly remodeled with a brand new patio where you can come out and enjoy the view, food and spirits even if you aren't golfing. The staff is friendly and amazing!
