Great mountain golf

The course was in great condition, greens were fast and fairways lush. Well worth the drive up from Atlanta.

This is a beautiful and challenging course

I picked the perfect time to give this course a try. Cool weather and the leaves were turning everything into a fall wonderland. I had read a review from a few weeks earlier that said the course was not in good enough condition for the price paid....I must say, au contraire! The layout is great and the beauty of the course is greater. The fairways were in fine condition and the greens couldn't have been more in shape...bent grass and plenty fast. Perhaps the gentleman who wrote the disparaging review ought to consider Golfnow next time he arranges a tee-time as he apparently paid twice as much as me. The only gripe I have is that at this time of year they have no starter and the proshop wasn't in synch with the online tee-time reservations. Fortunately, our threesome was able to go to the 10th tee to have a wide open course in front of us. I would recommend this course.

Beautiful Fall golf day!

Course is in great condition but guests could repair their ball marks on the greens to make it even better.

great mountain course

Perfect Friday afternoon. Paired with a super nice couple. Had drinks and apps afterward. Staff is
extremely friendly and the course is in great shape.
It's fall and they have their hay bale tour set up. The community puts a ton of work into the caricatures.
Wonderful!

A beautiful fall round of golf

We have played Sky Valley many times. A wonderful Golf course and layout. Day was warm and sunny but course was very wet. Lost several balls in fairways. Sand traps were in very poor condition, but greens were excellent. It was still a fantastic day of golf.

Beautiful views and great golf

Beautiful mountain views but valley golf makes this an enjoyable day of golf. True, fast greens and rolling terrain plus streams and hills make for a great day of golf.

Great mountain layout

Really enjoyed the course. Back 9 tougher than the front but more elevation and therefore more scenic. Had a really good afternoon, left me pumped for hours.....

Sky Valley ranks high for locals and visitors!

Reservation was made with Golf Now. Very easy to complete the purchase process and even easier to get a tee time. Employees were very courteous and helpful. All were very attentive to your needs. Pace of play was excellent. Completed a round of 2 in about 3 hours 25 minutes. The only negative is that the only view of the layout of the course is on the score card. Would like to see their tee boxes with the layout of the hole. Beautiful scenery and weather condition was awesome!

Good Course Design

Good layout with some challenging holes. Nice elevation changes create interest. No boring back & forth holes. Competent, friendly staff. Greens in good shape, but lots of unrepaired ball marks (a member issue?). Fairways & tee boxes in good shape. Sand hazards fair; too hard. Many wet spots throughout course which I suspect remain that way throughout season. Clean comfort stations. I will return to play here again.

Enjoyed the visit.

It was very nice. The person checking us in wasn't that interested (giving us info, etc) in the discount playing fee we were paying, as opposed to members...which I understand, but this was to obvious.
