Pleasant Valley Golf Club

I got out on Pleasant Valley on a weekday for $30 which is a great deal. The Fairways and bunkers are in very good shape and overall the course is good to excellent EXCEPT FOR THE GREENS. THe greens are VERY irregular and it is not due to aireation. The grass on the greens appears to be all different lengths, colors, types and textures so that the ball bounces all over the place.
Also be aware that the greens are VERY firm. All but the highest shots will bounce all over the place. The layout is great. I plan to play there in May and I'll report back on the greens.

no attention.
green is fast.
very slow processing.

Nice day, course was in reasonable condition given the weather this late winter.

Cart path only as expected.

Very friendly staff!

Was great to finally get out!

I always enjoy Pleasant Valley.

The layout is a perfect challenge for an average length hitter. There is an even shake of short par 4's and long par 4's. Two of the three par 5's are unreachable, and number 3 is a challenge to par.

Of course there are a fair share of maintenance issues, mostly due to drainage problems. Although, for the most part course quality is fair to strong. In particular, the greens are good to excellent. We played in early March; before the greens had been cut for the first time this season. Clearly, the greens had been rolled, because they were playing firm and true. I would wager that the fact that they walk-mow the greens, is the single most important factor to their strong playability.

Early in the year but the course was in good shape

Course was in excellent condition given the extreme weather experienced in Northern Virginia this winter. Pleasant Valley is always well maintained and is an interesting 4-star format. Very nice environment, in a park-like setting (no houses).

The course was packed due to the break in the weather but they did a great job of keeping play going

It rained the day before and there were puddles everywhere. Pace of play was very slow because of plugged balls and the 20 to 40 mph winds. It was cart path only because it was so wet. Nice course, good layout, and many challenging holes made the round difficult. The greens were true and quick for the weather conditions. The wind was a problem all day. When I finished I was glad it was over but I want to go back in the summer, on a nice day, with no wind to try this again. I may not be able to play it in the 70's but I want a chance to play my handicap of 14.

play here often enough to know that this is the worst i have seen it condition wise. lots of torn up turf, uneven greens. the traps were pretty good shape though. i'll wait for the spring to head out again here.

The condition of course was good for this time of the year. They had removed all leaves, so there was no problem finding balls due to stray shots. Greens were fast, but fair. Bunkers were well maintained. Rough was cut appropriately, so it wasn't difficult finding balls in the rough.

Fortunately received 20% off weekend rate otherwise value would have been poor. For a private course, with a hefty fee, the tees were beat-up, the cart paths in several locations were worn around edges - like a heavily used muni that needs some attention. The greens were OK - many marks and amazingly unfixed ball marks, you'd think folks who play there would take more pride and follow typical etiquette. The greens did roll true and were smooth, mostly. Several fairways and surrounding rough had strange torn-up turf - could not tell if it was machinery or extensive mole-like damage. The pace of play was excellent with our two-some finishing in less than 4 hours - even with a three-some cutting in on 10. I would go back - because the layout is somewhat challenging but I now know it's not a premium course.

Played the course 4 years ago and it was terrible and didn't go back until this week. What a pleasant surprise... very good condition from tee to green, bunkers had sand (something most public courses around here don't have this time of year), and the greens were in very good shape, rolled true with very good speed. We played after an outing so it was disappointing to see all of the unrepaired ball marks but that is on the players not the course. Definitely back in our rotation.

It's far better than other courses in this area at this price. Good fairway and friendly staffs all the way from club house to the 18th hole are pleasant like the name of Pleasant Valley Golf course.

Had a great time playing. Pace was definitely "foursome" pace, but steady. Greens were nice and quick, which is appreciated. Carts had great technology with GPS and ability to order food from the touch screen on 9 tee. Burger was fabulous.

There are many courses in the area that charge similar fees but dont stack up in quality. Pleasant Valley has well maintained fairways, and greens that roll pretty true. A great value for a public course in the $75-$90 range.

no starter. as a single i was placed with another group which is great. however that group was told to begin 10mins prior and thus i was forced to try and catch them on front nine. when i did they split again and i was forced to play alone which slowed pace of play. when i asked for some sort of raincheck the staff was beligerant and non-amicable due to my fees being tied to golfnow vs direct pay to proshop. i asked for something--bucket of balls, etc. and they still would not oblige. will not play again.

One of the better courses in the area. Some interesting, but challenging, holes out there (no gimme par 3's here#. The course was a little waterlogged #not surprising considering the recent major rain#, traps were beat up #again, somewhat understandable, it was better on my past visit#. Pace of play was solid. Can get some good greens fees on GolfNow #in the $40-60), and at that rate it's definitely worth it.

Nice to not see homes on the course. Must be highly played, several greens and tee boxes need attention.

I really liked this course. Fairways were in great shape and the fact that the carts are all equipped with GPS is helpful if you don't have a phone app. My only criticism of this course was that the tee boxes need some attention (flattening out and pruning) but other than that I really liked it. Very comparable to other courses in the area such as Old Hickory.

strange that the course wasn't packed. nobody behind us, nobody in front of us. played in 3hr 45min!

pv was in good shape even if the fairways were a little long and spongy. greens were running pretty quick.

overall, a good day on the course and if we could get around in less than 4 hrs, i'd play here every week!
