Always fun

Quietly some of the best greens in the region, I enjoy playing Shenvalee every time I go. Unfortunately, I think sometimes people see the price and think that they can drive carts anywhere and treat the course poorly, but the staff does a great job keeping it in shape.

In great shape!

Shenvalee is in great shape right now. The place looks great and it's nice to have 3 distinctly different 9 hole layouts to choose from.

Good day

I wanted to play for the first time this year ( usually 10-12 rounds per year ) . I was not disappointed . I played through my round well . My least favorite on The Shenvalee is the Creek Course . I love the Olde Course . It’s a very challenging 9 holes . The both 9 hole courses perfectly groomed . After my round I stopped by the Miller Grille . I grabbed a sandwich to go . As expected , it was an excellent quality experience also . I am asked to do reviews on numerous courses . This is one of 3 that received a 5 star rating .

Shenvalee review

The course was in real good shape considering recent weather. Staff is always friendly. I was playing alone so I caught up to the group(s) in front of me. Fortunately they have 3 9's, so i was able to get around them. Had a great time!

KB's review

Played the Olde and Miller courses. Olde was fine. Miller was a bit confusing.
The Pro Shop staff was adequate, but the starter was one of the best with whom I've ever dealt.
Snack bar was very nice and the chili dog was good.

Nice day for golf ⛳

Beautiful setting for an old school golf course. Greens are FAST and firm but putt true. Only negative was we were behind 2 foursomes who were very slow. 2nd nine we got ahead of them and it was much better.

Front 9 creek course nice layout and conditions. Pace of play was fast. Back 9 miller course layout odd. Serve real blind tee shots and second shot. Conditions okay. Pace of play very slow. Unfortunate.

Great little course

Course was in excellent shape. I love playing here. Pace of play was pretty bad today, there was no ranger and we had people in front of us not letting people play through. Stacked up a bit.

Soggy but very nice.

I took my son and his friend golfing. There had been lots of rain. The course absorbed the water mostly and the green were soft and forgiving. The carry was not as long as usual due to the wet conditions. Overall a great day and nice round. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Chili dogs were delicious.

Value / Friendliness

We took a small "golf holiday" and Shenvalee did not disappoint.

From the start, with a major mix-up on our room, number of golfers and cost, the staff did a good job of understanding the confusion and making the most out of a bad situation. The staff is excellent from check in, through the course. Customer focused culture is important and Shenvalee has that covered.

We played five rounds over three days covering all three nines. A couple of holes had minor areas that needed repair but overall the course was challenging without being unfair and offered enough variety. We managed to be there while the greens were being sanded and yet the greens still rolled true. I can imagine once the process is complete, the greens would be pristine.

Only one hole of the 27 would I consider "silly" (Miller Course #4) until after we played it with a very blind tee shot with no way of knowing when the group in front of us was clear of our tee shots.

Plenty of nice scenery, a few drivable par 4s, a couple of long par 5s and interesting par 3s made the trip very enjoyable.

As a Civil War historian being in New Market was fun, however there's not much more although with the onsite grill and "all you can play" each day as a resort guest unless you just get worn out from the course, there doesn't have to be much more.

The wife is already thinking about another trip in the spring.
