Very good course

I have written numerous reviews about the Shenvalee . The 3 - 9 hole courses are always in great shape . The Lodge rooms I refuse to stay in . 5 years ago I got to share my room with a few very nasty bugs . The Miller Grille has some excellent food and a fantastic staff working there . Unless they terminated the entire hospitality staff and replaced everyone of them , I will not recommend you stay in their rooms . Especially with a Quality Inn so close to the resort .

Terrific course .

The 3 nine hole courses are always in great shape . This is a pro type course . It’s a terrible shame that they left the Resort lodging slip in cleanliness and quality . The dining area of the main lodge went down hill also . The bright spot is the Miller Grille . The food is very good and the service is top notch ! The golf course and the Miller Grille get 5 stars . The lodging needs a lot of work to get to where they once were . I have been going to the Shenvalee since 1978 .

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 .

Always perfect

This course is always well kept , maintained and appointed . Inhale been there numerous times per year since 1978 . The course is awesome . The resort is a different story . I usually stay at the Quality Inn just off interstate # 81 . We were staying at the resort rooms until 4 years ago . yes I live in Flying Hills ( Reading ) Pa . for me the 4 hour / 250 mile trip is worth it .

Good but challenging course

Over the years I have played this course many times . It is a nicely laid out course . It is far from an easy course . My only issue with Chapel Hills is that the sand traps are Horrible . No other sand trap i have played here in Pa. is any better or worse . This course does lack a driving range and a decent practice putting green .

Tough course

This course is an extremely well maintained 18 hole course in Southwestern Berks County . It is one of our toughest courses in the county . It is very well maintained . The grass is cut to perfect length as to greens , fairways or the rough . I play this course as one of my must plays each year . I do enjoy its style of play . It’s not for the beginner . Unless a 130 is acceptable for one’s first round . The pro shop area is very small . The bar and lounge area is a bit larger .

Ocala Golf Club

I have played this course a few times between 2012 and 2018 . The course was well kept through those years . the sand traps played well ! That is one area that i Can not sat about any course that I play . I play golf in a few different states , 3 to be correct . The closest to this course and it's conditions would be " the Shenvalee Golf resort " in New Market , Virginia .
