Round Valley Golf Course
Played On 6/24/2013Good course. Not spectacular, but fun. Back nine more challenging than front.
This was a bit of a surprise. I'd played the course about seven years ago and found it poorly kept up and disappointing. It's much different now. The fairways were in great shape. The greens rolled pretty well, although there were a few with some burned-out spots on the front nine. I would like to have seen them grow out the rough for a bit more of a challenge, but it had been recently mowed. Still, the course's appearance spoke of attention and care, which was infinitely better than the last time I played it.
The front nine is flat and relatively simple, with a few water hazards for challenge. Not the most challenging, but fun and a great walk. The back has some more challenging terrain, as well as a couple of longer holes (which played especially long into the wind!).
Overall, it's a s good, but not great, course, and worth a visit if you're in the area. It's also a good value and an easy course to walk.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot - there were cows on the 14th tee. Not by the tee, ON the tee. The wind and the cows reminded me of golfing at Brora in Scotland. Very cool.
