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.

Poor condition

Very firm very fast greens we’re almost unplayable, can’t hold an approach shot,burnt up, rough was 5 inches tall and clover, so if you weren’t in the fairway good luck finding your ball! shot an 86 felt like a 106! Overall horrible condition golf isnt fun when you have to hit your approach shot 15 yards short of the green just to have a 30 footer or run through it.

This is not a high end course so manage your expectations. It is a fun course to play and the scenery is fantastic and elevation changes are a fun change in central ohio.

Devil In The Details

I realize there may be some construction on the course but some directional signs would be AWESOME! Got way lost getting to several holes.

Fairways and first cuts are nice, greens are pretty good. Tee boxes are in poor shape.

Good Value

Good course for what you play! Greens are very hard and bounce like you hit concrete when you approach the green so land the ball short and let it run up. Greens roll well! The renovations on the back 9 are coming together well.

New ownership is great

Met Barry, the new owner. Super nice guy. Valley view is on an awesome piece of property and is great value for the golf. They’re in the process of renovating a bunch of holes. Only complaint is front nine routing is all messed up, which leads to lots of golfers hitting into other fairways, which slows down pace of play a lot. Maybe renovations in the future will help. Awesome place overall

Good course for the price.

I’m a beginner golfer and I had fun playing this course with my three friends. It’s fun and easy enough for newer players. Staff let me borrow clubs for the round for free because I forgot mine.
