Absolutely get more than what you pay for here! The course is in phenomenal shape. The pace of play has always been consistent, the fairways are well kept, and the greens run smooth. I play here a handful of times a month and always look forward to my next game. Just remember to bring snacks/water as the restaurant is not open, yet.

Great course, but very slow play

The round was just under 5 hours (4:50 minutes). Too long and there is no marshall to be seen to move the pace along.
Saw a group of 5 being allowed on the course at 2:30pm.

The conditions (except 2 holes, that were positively a swamp) were very good.

The course is very nice, just VERY VERY slow. Not the first time I would leave the same review.

Something needs to be done about the pace of play.

Top notch muni

One of the best muni tracks I’ve ever played. Front 9 is an especially sick layout. Total treat to play. Greens fast fair and in perfect condition. Once the restaurant reopens this place will be 5 stars across the board. BVGC rocks!

Enjoyable round at a leisurely pace

Had a great round on a beautiful day.
Pace of play was a bit slow, but not unbearable. Made for a leisurely round to enjoy the beautiful day.

Wide fairways, trees, challenging greens

The secret to this course is to keep the ball in the fairway away from all the trees or you will regret it. Greens are easy to approach. Minimal water hazards.
