Pleasant Valley Golf Club

Given a lot of other N. VA courses look pretty bad (post-Summer), I was glad to see that P. Valley was in pretty good shape. The day was an absolute 10. Too bad my score was not.

Played as a single and the round moved at a great pace. Overall course was in pretty decent shape with the exception of a handful of greens / tees.

Have played this course monthly for the last 3 years. By far the worst shape I’ve seen it in. Greens have all kinds of bumps, weeds and just dirt. Half of the tees don’t have grass on them. Very disappointed with the value of my money here.

Course is in bad shape due to rain not worth the money

Tee boxes, Fairways and greens are all around big big and widely dead spots

Maybe my 10th round here. Nice people, fun and challenging course, getting a little chewed up on the greens but ok. Consistently 4 hour rounds, but today something was BADLY amiss. 2 hours and a bit on the front 9, then 2 hours THROUGH 5 HOLES of the back. Actually just packed it up and drove back to the clubhouse after 14. Glad we did...both 16 and 17 had two groups on the tee! We counted 9 groups ahead of us on 15-18. Simple math means that many groups had nearly 6 hour rounds.

This can’t happen, PV. Put times on the carts or something and enforce pace of play...meaning you compel slow groups to skip holes. “It’s crowded” is NOT an excuse.

Many of the courses in the D.C. area got hit bad by the combo of too much rain and lots of heat. Pleasant Valley has lots of dead spots on their greens but they did a good job of putting the pins away from that. They had also recently aerated but that's to be expected in late Aug, early Sept. My biggest complaint is not against PV but about D.C. golfers. I must have made -6-8 pitch marks on the green today but fixed at least 20 (& could have fixed another 50). This area is chock full of jerks that don't even bother to fix their marks. After months of this and bad weather, it's amazing course superintendents don't quit. I sure wish courses would start to come down hard on these jerks.

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.
