Pleasant Valley Golf Club

Love the course & the layout...it'll be challenging for average golfers but offers some difficulty even for single digits.

The issue is value...$100 to play this course is ridiculous, but it's 2024 and that's what we pay in this DC market...

This course is a hidden gem. Pace of play was excellent. Greens were excellent. Got to check it out!

Course was in good condition, greens slightly fast and an occasional wait for group in front of us.

No complaints and will replay next time in the area.

this is a classic strategic golf course that requires thinking your way through holes. this is what all golf should be like -- its an underrated course.

a testament to a good course is you remember the holes after you leave. I remember many of them.

some examples:

par 5 fifth - narrow fairway at driver landing area makes you consider hitting an iron. but if you hit the drive straight you enjoy a downhill, making reaching in 2 possible.

holes 14-17 are a great stretch

14 - short par 3 with little depth (bunkers in front and back) and very wide. should be easy... or an easy blowup

15 -- creek right at the driver landing area, and a tough uphill approach with not much room behind the hole.

16 - water + narrow fairway as you try to get more distance on your drive, the approach is a skinny green with significant depth and huge bunkers (and water) if you miss right

17 - double fairway -- -play to the right for a shorter hole but a forced carry on your approach. but the "safer" drive to the left leaves a tougher angle on the approach.

the course is ok condition, but for the money that they are now charging, which is a lot mor than last year, you would think the tee boxes would be at least level. Charging as much as Westfields, and this is not Westfields.

It was great playing here, I am a full member at another course and I am loyal but I must say this course was beautiful and played very well. Hole were a lil tough but very forgiving I WILL DEFINITELY play this course again!!🏌🏽‍♂️

I’m so pleased that the cart paths were recently repaired. Greens were in very good shape. Reel boxes and fairways were nice. Would definitely return for another round.

Played 3 June. The course conditions were fine, but we waited on every shot. The two groups right in front of us were the problem. Called the pro shop and asked them to send someone, but never saw a marshal until the 18th hole.

First thing I notice is that your charges for each round include cart fees, yet when someone walks and does not incur wear and tear on your carts, which many do, you don't reduce fees for the round to exclude the cart fee.

Bottom line is, if charges aren't incurred by the customer, they should not be charged. A walking customer is actually saving you money by 1) not taking carts onto/into areas where they may damage the course, and 2) walking incurs reduced maintenance to your carts, yet their patronage is not financially recognized. You should consider that if you want to continue charging customers for things they are not using, then give those customers free range balls as a means of compensation. I cannot keep playing here unless this changes.

Fairways and greens were in great condition. Sand traps and tee boxes were in terrible to average condition, with some being almost unrecognizable were it not for the tee markers. These are in need of an improved maintenance approach and will deter many from playing here.

Pleasant Valley is now better than it’s ever been. I’ve been playing in a golf league at Pleasant Valley for many years and I must say that they’re hitting on all cylinders. The course itself has never been in better shape - from tee to green. However, what inspired me to write this review today is the added benefits, including:: updated clubhouse, a consistent beverage cart on course, outdoor speakers on the patio, and the willingness for the staff to say open for that last beverage at the end of the day. Very accommodating and worthy of the “five star” rating I’ve given them. Kevin T.

Tee boxes and green complexes are much improved over years past. I had stopped playing here due to those factors, but I'm happy to be back under better circumstances. Only drawback is that they charge same price whether you walk or ride, but that should not be the case. If I'm not using your equipment, then you should discount my round for whatever price is charged for a cart fee.

Played with two buddies yesterday. While the tee sheet was full, we still finished in just over four and a half hours. Greens recovered nicely from aeration and ran true. Tee boxes and fairways in great shape. Also, I think the cart path renovation was completed about a year ago and it really improves the experience. Weather defied forecasts and actually improved over the course of the afternoon.

Course is in great shape, love the layout, nice carts/ paths. Staff is curteous and professional.

The course was in fantastic condition, and good walkable layout. However, I booked my tee time for a military walking rate, told the gentleman in the pro shop that I was military and had my ID out … but they did NOT honor the military rate. He just said it’s all the same rate and CHARGED ME FULL PRICE even though I was also walking. That was a huge let down for my first time at the course and being charged an extra $25. I’m hoping to get a refund or even gift cert for my next round there. Again, the course is fun, in great condition, and easy location … but to be refused the rate we agreed on when I booked it was really a disappointment.
