We had a very enjoyable round . We were paired with 2 of the nicest young men we've ever been paired with. Unfortunately the 2 groups in front of us were highly inconsiderate. The combination of extreme heat and excessive alcohol consumption proved incomprehensible. They were hitting multiple balls on every hole, not just from the tee boxes but everywhere. Not one time did a course official or marshall ever appear to monitor what was happening. The course has a lot going for it. Not monitoring pace of play takes away from its overall good qualities.

We love this course. I rate it a 5 when 4+.might be more appropriate. The only real drawback is in the beginning. We have played 3 rounds here; each time there is a delay at the start. When we arrive there is always a backup delaying the start by at least 15 minutes. Other than that playing this course is a treat.

We like the course quite a bit. Walking is a 7 plus mile experience. Any balls hit far right or far left will be hard to find so hit them straight. Fairways are in excellent shape, greens go between fast and slow keeping you guessing. Due to the length of the course expect a 5 hour round. If you are patient, not in a rush,, and are playing for fun and relaxation, you will probably enjoy the course.

Two key points to keep in mind. I know I am not that good of a golfer, average at best. And, I was not happy at the staff's inability to resolve a dispute about the charge;
We used a Golf Now Hot Deal. When we arrived we were charged the Hot Deal price. Our third player had paid prior to our arrival, but when I paid they charged me a second time for him. When we questioned the charge the staff insisted the third player was not charged, although he had been issued a cart. I had refused a receipt at check-in, a mistake on my part. This left a bad taste in my mouth. It will be a long time before I return. Probably not a good reason not to recommend to others. were simply not happy

Course is challenging yet not overly difficult. Some homes can be unforgiving for certain. Good golf however.

This is a medium level challenge golf course; not easy and not too difficult. Greens can be hard to read, especially with certain flag placements. Makes for an enjoyable round when you are out for fun and trying to step up your game a bit.

This was the first time ever playing this course,definitely not the last. The course is in great shape. This is a very player friendly course with makable distances for average golfers like me. Some fairways are narrow and there are a few times when you may struggle with challenging angles, but course knowledge will cure that. A good course that won’t hurt your confidence.

The Valley course plays like a links course. If you hit the ball right or left, expect to either lose your ball or spend time searching for your ball. When the group in front of your are searching, it slows down the pace of play. Searching for balls seems to be factored into the 4:30 time it takes to play 18. I don’t mind rough but this is beyond necessary for regular golfers.

If you can read the greens, you will enjoy your round. The greens are deceptive and very challenging. The course is well maintained, facilities are clean. Challenging greens add four to six strokes to your game.
