Pleasant Valley Golf Club

Played last week here for the first time in forever. Got a nice deal and weather was warm for February standards. The staff was welcoming.

Course was cart path only which I like getting steps in so didn't bother me. Grass was a bit discolored and moist in areas, but golf is golf and its still winter. I really like the layout. Each hole has a design and challenges your skills.

Played with another two fellas, we never had to wait for the foursome ahead, and the four walkers behind never waited on us. The pace was perfect.

I'll definitely be back but hopefully they have deals during the season this year, $40-50 is my sweet spot, anything over $60 and I'd rather hit a $20 bucket at the local driving range.

Greens were incredible. Better than I've ever seen them. Duri in the Pro Shop was friendly and got us going quickly because we drove about an hour and a half to get there. Pace was good, course conditions overall was beautiful.

Love the course but the fact that it's $120 for a weekday afternoon or $100 to play at 4:00 when the sun goes down at six is absolutely insane. Twin Lakes or Herndon Centennial are much better values and still pretty good golf.

I played a round at the golf course last Saturday (10/05/2024), and unfortunately, I cannot recommend it. As a golfer who typically scores between 84-88 and prefers to finish rounds within 4:30 hours, my experience was quite frustrating, especially since it took over 5 hours to complete the round.

Course Conditions

The course was wet and had a "cart-path only" policy, which is understandable given the conditions. However, the rough was exceptionally tall, making it extremely difficult to locate balls—even in well-maintained areas near the greens. If your ball lands even a few yards off the fairway, retrieving it can require multiple clubs and several minutes of searching. I lost five ProV1s during my round, while I usually only lose one or two balls per outing. If you happen to find a ProV1 with a blue line, consider yourself lucky!

Enforcement of Rules

Despite the cart-path only rule, I noticed many golfers disregarding it to search for their balls in the rough. This lack of adherence to the rules was frustrating, especially since I saw course marshals multiple times. The muddy areas created by cart wheels will likely remain unplayable for weeks.

Greens Quality

On a positive note, the greens were among the best I've encountered in the region. They rolled true and were quite fast, making them enjoyable to putt on. If you're looking to test your skills on fast greens, this course might be worth considering.

Overall, while the greens were impressive, the challenging rough and the cart-path rules contributed to an experience that was less than enjoyable. Given these conditions and the extended playtime of over 5 hours, I don’t foresee returning to this course anytime soon.

Course is in very good shape, from tee to green. Numerous sand traps keep it interesting.

#14 is only 110 from white. It is your best chance to score a hole in one.

The course was in good shape, the Greens were in great shape. Staff friendliness still a challenge. There was so Marshall on the course to enforce the pace of play.

Always love playing this course as layout is fantastic with great variety of holes.

Some fairways had burned out spots but so much better than a couple years ago. Look forward to playing here more often as the conditions improve. .

Greens and fairways in pretty good shape. Rough was not however. Many weeds and grass was sparse .

Layout was very good; challenging which explains the higher slope rating than what most would expect of a public course.
