okay, so first things first...no driving range, which is a SIN in 2023...nice putting green, but only a net (I guess) where you can hit balls?

nice track tough...they have put a moderately challenging course together, which has a fun layout and will challenge even better golfers at times...i'm a single digit and i enjoyed the layout and the holes that make you play a shot, not just hit it & hope...it's a fun track, and with a good pace of play, worth checking out imo

little extra crabgrass in places, not ideal, but like many other public courses in this area

weekend rate of $84 seems steep, but in this area they all overcharge...

odd rule is 2 carts per foursome, so you'll ride with strangers if you arrive as a single, which is fine with me, like making new friends

too much crabgrass around the greens makes it tough to get good contact
tee boxes are chewed up and none of them are flat
the lady in the snack bar was rude to me and the nice young man who took my order
the range is closed?! no warm ups?!

lovely challenge...i love the layout of this course, it will take some good ball striking to really go low...if you can get it for the $60ish price, play...if it's a weekend and it's $90, not worth it (or, rather, there are better courses for that money very close)

i will play there again though

I give the course 4.5 stars on the layout...it's a nice track, with fun holes that can give some risk/reward, have you play different shots, but still getable if you want to score.

However, for the price of $90, it is nowhere near worth it. Crab grass on the tees (particularly on the front), horrible green maintenance with dry/dead patches, patchy/clumpy rough on most all of the holes (yes, we are supposed to avoid the rough!)...there are other courses within 10mi of this that are cheaper and in better shape...

It's a shame, too, because I remember when the course was in great shape (and cheaper)...I used to play here at least 1/week...but not since the course went south & the price went north...

First, NO warm up range, just a net...that's bad
Second, it's a fun and challenging layout considering the tips are around 6200 yards
Third - LOTs of construction (new bunkers, etc) around the course, which wasn't so bad

It's a shot maker's course - if you can't hit your driver straight, leave it at home, you can be fine with a 3w..which is both good and bad. For a short course, the hole were fun and a bit of a challenge, the greens were lightning and tough but fair. If you prefer a "traditional" length and width, don't bother, this will test your accuracy and eye.

I'd love to return when it's grown in, it'll be fun to play again.

Also, @ $64, it's $30 cheaper than the other public cow pastures in the area, which is a positive too.

I like the layout and the course. It has holes you can score on and holes where you need to hit to a spot. The greens were punched and sanded today so putting was impossible. It's early so it wasn't fully grown in but it's a fun place to play.

It's not worth $70 to play though... and the money grab of 10 dollars to have your own cart is sketchy.

PV is a fun course with a great layout. It is challenging enough for golfers of all levels.
But man they need to work on the tees and greens... and i mean put some serious effort into them.

Stonewall is a fantastic course - it's always been in great condition, it's a scenic location, and the views & layout is wonderful...but for $120, they need marshals and to ENFORCE pace of play rules - 5+ hours and a "well, it's Sunday afternoon and it's slow" is a total BS excuse to give to patrons - so, from a course & challenge standpoint it's great, but be prepared for a long slow slog, unfortunately, which takes away from what would otherwise be a positive experience

SR Golf Club is a good course and a good value for the money - the layout is challenging enough for a weekend golfer - pace of place can vary, but it's not horrible - the greens could be better, but it's a fun track to play

Raspberry Falls is a GREAT course to play - the course is always in great condition, the layout and views are fantastic, it's challenging for all levels from all tees - it's a bit expensive to play each week (i got a special deal) but definitely worth it to play a few times during the season
