Pleasant Valley Golf Club

Course was not in it’s “usually” good condition. Greens were pitted and consistently showed bare patches. Also, we were cart path only (CPO) (because of previous rain) but the asphalt paths were very torn up and in great need of repair. Partly because of CPO, but also there was no Marshall and several groups ahead were very slow and backed everything up - 5.5 hour round . . .

The course is in awful shape. Heavy rains didn’t help matters but the drainage is poor, tee boxes are dirt, patchy greens and fairways, and the cart paths are full of potholes.

Had a late morning Tee time. Started through a walker in front of me with a foursome in front of him then a single behind. Just felt like someone was breathing down my neck. I actually stopped playing after 5 holes.

The course was in horrific condition. From the tee boxes to the greens. Just pretty much playing on mud and dirt. It wasn’t fun at all.

You would think $60 would get you quality conditions just like the other courses.

Don’t waste your time and money.

The course itself is a good challenge and fairways are great! At least 15 of the 18 tee boxes were either sand or mud or dirt! Hard to find the fairway when the tee box sucks! The staff are very friendly and extremely helpful! It’s a darn shame about the tee boxes

The ratings are all you need, poor conditions and over priced given the quality.

Club house staff was welcoming and accommodating. Starter was friendly. Several tee boxes without grass... playing off hard sand. Greens with crabgrass lumps where it's green at all, and hard, burnt-out dirt where grass should be. Fairways in poor shape as well. Layout could be really fun if the course was maintained, but, sadly it isn't. Cart path was like the surface of the moon... overall,

a shot-out, pothole ridden garbage track, AVOID.

Course conditions were poor. Many tees need work, fairways were overly damp and beat up in certain areas and the greens were recently aerated with no top dressing or sand. The greens maintained much of their speed but extremely bumpy. Add all this up and the course gets 3 stars for current playability. That said, the bunkers are reasonable and the layout is great which caused me to stay at 4 stars overall. I’ll try it again in The fall.

At least 15 of the 18 tee boxes were in absolute disarray! The tee boxes were either dirt, sand, or mud. They were re sodding a couple of the tee boxes for next year so hopefully they get better but unfortunately for now they are just trashy. The fairways and greens played great and were very fun so I can only hope the tee boxes get better.

I know it's Virginia in the summer but this course is in terrible shape. Primarily it's the tee boxes which are virtually void of any grass. The fairways were extremely soft and had ton's of divots and many bare spots.

The Greens were aerated the day I played which did not help the experience.

Pleasant Valley is a great layout, with good variety, a nice setting devoid of houses, some interesting holes, some scoring opportunities and some real challenges. It's very walkable as well..

The problem is the course is priced higher than the conditions warrant, which in the pandemic-era golf boom is apparently working out for them, since they had a full tee sheet on a Saturday midday. Yes, you'll read about tee boxes in other reviews, but I didn't think that issue was too horrific. There's also shaggy rough, some burnt out fairway areas and a few other loose conditions that make you wonder. On the plus side, it looked like many bunkers have been reworked recently, so they were in good condition.

One thing that's hard to rate, but does affect the experience is the number of bad golfers a course attracts. And for whatever reason, whenever I play here, I run across quite a few, which slows the round down.

Most of the tee boxes on the front nine are either closed for repair, or in very poor condition.

I had not played Pleasant Valley since 2012. Its still a challenging loop that forces players to make decisions on every hole. The heat this summer has crushed the conditions and only recently have the tee boxes started to come back. It's now basically a hard municipal course, but nothing is wrong with that.

The course was is awful shape, including the cart paths. The course has potential if someone wanted to give some TLC
