Springvale Golf Club

1st time playing here and only had time to play 9 holes. Balls in the rough were hard to find due to the fall foliage on the ground. Overall, I really enjoyed the course - greens were in phenomenal shape for early November.

took over five hour to play - and "we" were that group! (I can play a difficult course in under 3.5 hrs myself) we were paired up with two golfers that were swapping clubs, hitting the ball all over the place and not keeping up to the pace of play. by the 8th hole the ranger politely asked the two to speed up (they just laughed and said we paid to play -- to us when he left.) they were nice folks - but really needed to go to a par 3 course vs a 18 hole course. Not a fun round.

As far as the course itself, leaves were all over the place - and it was not possible to find a well hit ball on more than a few occasions. greens/fairways were full of leaves. That didn't help the pace of play either - but I drop if I can't find a ball in 30 seconds of where I think the ball should have been.

- I'm sure it could be better on other days.

After I skipped a hole 13 and bypassing 4 guys who were dead to the world of anyone else playing I completed my round without delay

Those guys seemed more interested in their phones and yapping then playing golf.

This course needs a ranger on busy days

I've been playing SpringVale for probably 50yrs, and I say recent course conditions were excellent. Greens rolling quick & true, holding good approach shots (please repair ball marks ---always more than the one you might have made). Layout is simple, a few parallel holes (probably my only complaint), a couple of tree-guarded doglegs, but #11 is good golf hole Thanx to GN for the discounted Hot Deals, and also the starter joining me into a fun 3some. The staff is really nice, and 19th hole is good place to review scorecard. I played well this day, but dblebogie last hole (poor approach from middle fwy, along with only 3putt of day) has me wanting return match.

I'm biased cuz this is the first course I broke par on about 45yrs ago . ..but course in excellent condition, greens smooth & true (maybe a bias cuz I putted well with <30putts).. Thanx to GN for Hot Deals cost, but as a single I got joined with great guys & we had fun in a a <4hr round. Course in great shape tee to green ..... convenient location, short fun course, but challenging. I know I'll be back, need to rectify the few Bogies I had on this glorious fall day.

Springvale was a fun course to play and I got placed (as a single) with 2 great guys. It was a fun round and made some new friends while playing in a new area. Only downfall was that I left my putter cover and windbreaker in the cart and never got them back, I called and left my number, but no return call. Otherwise, I will be playing there again. Fun course for a great price!

We got paired up with a couple who would hit between two and four balls from EACH SHOT, pace of play was taking up to 25 minutes per hole. The ranger drove by several times, doing and saying nothing. We had a terrible experience.

Springvale is well maintained and the starters are friendly. The course is fair but still gives nice challenge.

Played this course on 6/28 and the overall experience was not great. My buddy and I got there with 15 min before our tee time. Walked into the clubhouse to check in and pay with 10 minutes to spare. We are then left standing in line while the lady behind the counter and another gentleman who works there talk about sharpening pencils. She finally checks us in with 1 minute to spare. We go outside and get told by the starter and other staff that we are late. We were ready to leave then but we decided to play anyway. Pace of play was really REALLY slow with them refusing to send people off the back. We were talked to twice about playing faster while to twosome ahead of us kept us waiting. Course condition is ok. For the $42 I spent, I can recommend 3 other course for better value.

The course at Springvale is in great shape. Fairways and greens were in great shape. The course layout is perfect for average golfer and offers better players a chance to put up some low scores. Kudos the Course Superintendent and staff at Springvale!!!
