The course layout is nice. It just gets old as to having to pay FULL price and use CPO as the course retains water.
The Greens fee is mostly likely high to cut amount of over play. Pace of play is always slow also with CPO. 5 hours.

Paired up as a single force to ride with a stranger
or pay additional $16 for separate cart. Round took 4:45 and didn’t see first ranger. Not going back.
Greens need a lot of work .

Greens require some attention to bring back to
High level conditions.

Tees and fairways in very Goog condition

Traps were inconsistent just need mechanical
raking to loosen up compaction

Brendon -Head Pro always makes you feel like family while playing Valle Vista. Greens had been aerated and dressed but were very puttable. Course in great condition with the lack of rain over past three weeks

So sad to see Crab Grass on Tees, Fairways and Fringes! Disappointing. If this was known would have played elsewhere.
Greens are in good condition no crab grass.

Overall course in good condition but the greens are too slow. Maybe 6 on the stimp.

For all the play course in good condition. Tees need in some areas filled with sand / seed mix. Greens rolling 10.5 / 11 on stimp . Driving range plus practice green good warm up area. Love having club cleaning station on range.
Compliment Mr Kerr who greeted after round at cart return asking how we enjoyed facilities and thanked us for coming to Hickory Stick..

When you spend $100.00 for golf it is so disappointing to play in 5+ hours. 300 rounds were booked for today per proshop. Will not go back..

Sad when courses are overbooked to generate revenue
Creating 5 hour rounds. Logistics to first time players need improvement especially starting on North nine.

Warm reception at parking lot as you are met with smiles and a golf cart to load your clubs.
Brandon Bezy Head Pro is excellent understanding behind each round is a individual who not just a greensfee.. We play Valle Vista consistently as the course is fair challenge and course conditions are superb.

Course and greens in great condition considering past 30 days no rain. Like the challenges of tee shots with trees lining several fairways . Holes 6 and 7 long par fours alway require
good tee to green play. Escape these two holes even par is a accomplishment.
Mr Bezy and the Pro shop staff always make you feel welcomed. Play 6+ times per year at Valle Vista.

Used to be an enjoyable layout. Have let course deteriorate to crabgrass all over fairways and tees. Why does Indy Parks department allow the lessor of course have such deplorable conditions.

Dandelions all over tees, fairways and rough. Very surprised. Plus range closed because ball picker broken. Greens very slow. 5 on stimp meter.

You only get one chance to make positive first impression. Falcon's Fire need to train their staff from bag drop to starter on customer service. Wish I had replayed Hawk's Tail. Hawk's Tail Course and Staff far superior.
Falcon's Fire greens are stressed out. Terrible condition. Tee's also stressed.
Took just 5 hours to play Falcon's fire today. No ranger touring course. Held up by a threesome. Two holes open in front of them.

Greens were outstanding. 10 on S meter.

Highly recommend anyone to play this Nicklaus design.

Fun shot challenge with both fade and draw plays.

Course was in very good condition with greens rolling well for December. Brendon head pro is always welcoming. He is a great asset to promoting both Valle Vista and golf.

Visiting Orange Lake for first time and finding Reserve course is different. No clubhouse, proshop is located in a retail shopping plaza. Staff was very friendly.
Course was in Good Condition. Greens were 11 on Stimp meter, with undulating slopes to challenge putting skills. Only negative was sprouts of non bermuda grass on some greens. Winds of up to 20 offer club selection challenges holes buffered by trees. Would play the course again. Nice Alligator on water bank behind 13th green!

$95 Greens Fee is extremely high. Course expectatio ns fell far short of what was promised. Liked the character of the old Ackerman / South course much better. Wait to play until Greens fee comes down to $50 .

Waited for rain to pass. Course was in excellent condition for playing after rain.
Utilized special golfnow rate saving 42%. Making the 40 mile drive a value to play even in poor weather. Staff was very accommodating.
