Rating 71.0

Raccoon Valley Golf Course (formerly known as Raccoon International Golf Club) sprawls across gently rolling woodlands, featuring scenic vistas of the surrounding countryside. The course is known for being home to the longest par 5 in the state, the notorious 17th hole. This treacherous hole measures in at a devilish 666 yards that will challenge even the longest hitters. Although the terrain is mostly flat and open, there are some surprisingly dramatic undulations in the greens that will cause tricky uneven lies. There are several lakes that come into play throughout as well as a number of strategically placed bunkers. In addition to the penultimate hole, notable holes at Raccoon Valley include the par-4 eighth, which requires a 220-yard carry, and the 11th, a par 3 that plays over a lake to a two-tiered green guarded by a bunker.

If you like long drives

this is the course for you....plenty of par 5's on gently rolling landscape and one awesome shot on top of a steep hilltop overlooking a valley and a pond that is really fun to play!

Pass on this course

Ruts in the fairway. Ruts on cart paths and on the course will give you a bad back. Greens were shaggy. When I mentioned it to the lady working in the clubhouse she said the mower has been broken 4 or 5 days. The sign by the entrance states under new management, which isn't necessarily a good thing.

First Time Playing

Goat Ranch

This course has a lot of potential. The greens were in good shape, they are large, very inconsistent from green to green. If they don't start doing some maintenance on this course they will have to by 4x4 side by sides, the cart paths are that bad. There are a lot better courses in the area in this price point.
