ARVGC is, and pretty much, has always been a very good value. Pricing has increased a bit this season but the value remains. The conditions are excellent for a muni course that sees so much play. For that matter, conditions are better than many a private course! The lay out is unique. The first 11 holes are "typical" golf holes in that there are tree lined fairways. Holes 12 thru 17 are a links style layout. More like a wide open lay out with bunkers and water and some wild grasses as opposed to true links golf. There are 4 sets of tee boxes that allow you to pick what feels good for you. There is not a clubhouse to speak of but beverages are available. The pro shop is adequately stocked.
This course shines on its condition, uniqueness, and value. However, the facility does need a course ranger. The pace of play can be terrible! It is the only course I have ever quit mid way because pace was awful. I only play here a few times a season because of that fact and always pick way off peak times and weather to do so.
