Clover Valley Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Surrounded by dense woodlands, Clover Valley Golf Club has a secluded parkland setting that also allows for some links-style holes. The course is relatively young but it has a much older feel to it. The versatile layout has an interesting mix of holes that appeals to a variety of different tastes and abilities. There are also four sets of tees that make it even more accommodating to a range of skill levels. The layout features gently rolling fairways that are lined with trees. They are rather generously sized though, which makes them more player-friendly. The medium-sized greens are also approachable with only slight undulations. There are several lakes as well as a creek that come into play on several holes. In addition to the golf course, Clover Valley also offers extensive practice facilities including a driving range with target greens, a large putting green, and a chipping area with greenside bunkers.

Nice course out in the country
Played here yesterday and enjoyed the course, especially the layout. It was challenging but not too much to discourage you. Only issue was that they must be redoing all of the bunkers because they were full of dirt, rocks, and a ton of standing water. Other than that, nice course!

Improving more and more
I have played clover valley many of times and it has been in really bad shape the past few years. You could tell they just gave up on it. Since when I played this course in the early summer it had improved very much ! The greens roll true and smooth now and the fairways actually have some roll when they’re dry. Apparently the have got a new greenskeeper that started sometime this summer the pro shop told me. A little bit of money and laborers for the bunker and some spraying this course would be back on the top where it belongs. It has the best layout of any course around and the potential to be really something special ! Workers are very friendly and the food and beverages are very good and reasonably priced. I love this course !

Overpriced
Course has potential but needs a lot of work. Sand traps are full of weeds, no ball washers on course, no water on course in 90 degree weather, play extraordinarily slow. Too may mulligans, slow play, golf etiquette is absent. For $5-7 more you can get all theses amenities and more elsewhere.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Clover Valley Golf Club, and we hope to see you again in the future.
I’d hold off for a little while
I know we’ve had a lot of rain here lately but some portions of this course are unplayable. Several holes it was tough to find a patch of grass to stand on. Bunkers unplayable but that’s becoming the norm it seems. Couple greens were rough.

Terrible experience
This course is in TERRIBLE condition! Worst course I've played all year, decent layout out, but there condition. Missing grass on the greens, no sand in the bunkers, Tee boxes grass nearly as high as the rough if it even had grass. Pace of play was atrocious, over 4.5 hr round. All around terrible experience, will never play this course again.

Nice layout, but poor maintenance.
Nice layout, but the tee boxes and greens weren’t in good shape. Lots of divots and burnt spots. Hard to get a putt with a true roll. Bunkers were hard and unkept. Fairways were okay, but need some work.
Hi, u488476481! Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. Please know the current conditions are by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We will continue to work towards a 5-star experience and we hope to see you back!
Rude
If you enjoy being talked down to like a child, then by all means play this course everyday. A simple sir the range is closed this morning we are cutting the grass would have been sufficient instead complete jerk about it. Trash all over the course and greens let go. Tear it down and build houses. Don’t waste a penny on this course. I won’t ever be back.
We’re sorry to hear of your less-than-satisfactory experience and hope you will accept our sincerest apologies.
We value our customers' opinions and would like to make things right and determine how we can provide a solution that makes you smile.
Please contact us directly at the pro shop. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Nice Layout but horrific conditions
Loved the course layout. That's the only good/positive thing I can say, other than the Starter was very nice and the drink cart was around throughout the round.
The course was in horrific shape. Several greens were sand-covered, tee boxes with grass that was longer than the fairway and the sand traps - if you can call them that - were the worst I've seen on a golf course in years. On hole 2, there was more than a foot of murky, standing water inside of one of the bunkers. It was also filled with standing reeds and lily pads - I felt like I should have brought my fishing pole. I did not see one, single, bunker that you could have played out of.
For $60 a round, I would think they would make some capital improvements. We won't be back anytime soon and now I know why I was able to get a tee time later in the week for the upcoming weekend.
Thank you for leaving us a review. We are sorry to hear your experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you will give us another try in the future. Thank you for choosing Clover Valley Golf Club.
This course is NOT what it once was…sad
This has always been a very nice golf course, in great shape, well cared for, but not anymore. A lot like me, it’s let itself go. The only issue is that no one if paying $50 to play me anymore—ha!
We all love this course, but sadly will never be back. There was not sand in bunkers, greens had dead spots, tee boxes were all but destroyed and weeds were as prevalent as bent grass.
Do yourself a favor, leave this course to die and find any other place to play, at least I will have saved you your money and sadness.
Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve and are working diligently to improve the course. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.
They've let this course go
I played this course often before moving out of the area 5 years ago. I was surprised to see the course in such poor condition. Practice area was awful and the balls were covered in dirt, mud, and grass. It was nearly impossible to find a spot on the tee boxes where I could put both my feet and ball in grass at the same time. They have abandoned every bunker on the course. It's hard to find very many positive things to say about the place. Ownership should be embarrassed.

Great course
Pretty cheap for the area, great course with some challenges, bunkers were a little rough but staff was awesome. Shawn, who sent us off was awesome.

Declining course
I arrived a little behind schedule after I purchased a tee time on golf now. I will own that I wasn’t early but I’m also 41 years old and don’t need “a valuable life lesson” from an old man working the cash register slower than a turtle. He was abrasive and for lack of better term, a jerk and I was tempted to voice my displeasure of his attitude but I wanted to play. I struggled the first 3 holes because he had me very angry but then I got into my groove. Fairways and rough were good but the sandtraps were disgraceful. Standing water, rocks, weeds growing and they were simply unplayable. I hope this gets changed quick or else I won’t be a regular customer.
