Pleasant Valley Golf Club

This might be my favorite course in the local area. I love the layout and i know what this course is like when in good Spring time condition. The rain and winter condition has tore this course up. Fairways, tee boxes, and rough in horrible shape. Wish fees were lower based on this. Greens were good though. Bunkers are perfect powder, which is rare. I still enjoy and recommend this course for the character, challenge, and variety of holes. I play tons of winter golf, and rarely have i seen a course THIS beat up. Still recommend... just lower the cost to be fair.

Can’t expect any better. Fun course makes you think to play better

Extremely slow pace! There was a single ahead of us but he refused to join the two-some in front of him, who invited him to play together. I told the marshal about it and he did nothing to help. The single guy didn't care and acted so slowly all the time. By the way, the management company needs to spend some money on maintenance or it will be totally ruined very soon.

Always a pleasure and a challenge. I love this layout. Greens were a little slow, but that is to be expected.

This course was used to be a good course in Northern VA. But, I gave up Pleasant Valley last year due to the unacceptable course condition.. Today (2019 Nov.) I found that the course condition was much improved even on a cold November day. The difficulties of Blue tee and White tee are significantly different due to the course layout. You will enjoy this course a lot if you select a proper tee.

My first time playing this course and I will be back. It's a bit challenging with some blind tee shots but also a fair course. Greens are in great shape and quick. I played on a weekday so pace of play was not an issue. The staff members are friendly. The food choices are the basics you would expect. There is a decent size driving range with some practice bunkers nearby and a good size putting green.

I have not played this course in several months. There are some interesting holes with split fairways, etc. so I was looking forward to playing it again. While most of the greens were in decent shape, many of the fairways and tees had bare spots, etc. We hadn't had much rain the past month or so, perhaps that added to the conditions. I would still not hesitate to play the course again, just not at full price.

I would love to play the course more but a bunch of other nearbuby courses cost less.

Well designed course in beautiful nature, sind Tee Offs need repair and maintenance.

Greens in good condition, a Bit slow.

Things I like about the course:

1. Front nine, more privacy between links.

2. Relatively easy course for a novice like me.

3. Pretty laid back staff, although the golf sheriff prefers you not start on the 10th tee. But because it was slow, he was cool about it.

4. Grass along the fairway is really short so finding my ball was easy.

5. No Geese! No Geese, No Geese!!! :) :) :) No goose poop!

6. They didn’t force singles to pair up!! Thank God! I personally don’t like to be paired with people I don’t know and don’t know how they play.

Things I didn’t like about the course:

1. Back nine links are not as separated , several links meet tee to green. Your trying to putt while just a few yards away people are driving. Not easy to focus with all the ruckus.

2. Lots of the tee boxes were in rough shape, crab grass growing or not much grass at all. Although it appeared as though they had recently been aerated. Fairways had lots of spots that were bare and appeared to have been that way for some time. Tons of divet marks not fixed. Greens mostly ok. They had just recently watered the course so there were lots of soggy spots.

3. This is not a reflection of the course but of the other golfers I encountered. I was starting on the 10th tee and there was one cart sitting a bit back. I waited a bit but no one came out. So I went ahead and was getting ready to tee off when a foursome passed by explaining that they were next but just stopped in to get some beers “at 10:45 in the morning” REALLY!!!. I conceded, but had they been gentlemen they would have let the single go ahead of their foursome. Common courtesy!!!

4. Why is a golf course serving beer at all let alone at 10:45 a.m on a Thursday. I’ve seen too many drunken idiots wreck the carts and sometimes hurt other people.

Was hesitant to play here again after seeing the poor conditions in spring. Greens are in very good shape; some ball and animal marks. Tee boxes are still poor with mostly sand and sparse grass. They were aerated so club is trying to get them back in shape.

I've always liked the layout and the challenges it presents. Glad to see the conditioning is getting better. Will put this back into my rotation.
