Mountain Valley Golf Center
Played On 02/16/2015OK Course, Nice Range
Course is decent for what it is, though the driving range is the most impressive part of the course (more on that later). Greens were surprisingly fast the day I went, though there were some unsightly bare patches on a few holes (mostly on the edges of the greens). With small greens and plenty of hazards (water, OB, sand), accuracy is required. Playing from the back tees, there were a few 200+ yard holes making the layout reasonably varied. Played with some friends who are just learning the game and they enjoyed it.
Oh yes, the driving range - one of the best I've been to in the region. No mats here. Just lots of grass. Nice grass. Not overly seeded and sanded, which can make the grass feel like a sand trap. Would definitely make the trip back here to get some quality practice in.

Played On 07/01/2014I could see this course being enjoyable...
...if it weren't so windy the day I played. It felt like I was in Jupiter's Great Red Spot. I don't even write reviews normally but I had to just to say how windy it was. I saw my ball go backwards in the air. Other than the wind, the layout was reasonably varied and somewhat scenic. The greens were fast and for the most part rolled true. I wouldn't drive too far out of the way to play here, but if you find yourself on Travis AFB with a morning to kill, I could think of worse ways to spend it.
