Terifc Langford Course

Sought the course out as it was designed by Langford & Moreau and was not disappointed. they created some of the most bold greens and bunkering from the golden age. I have yet to be let down by one of their courses. FYI, all bunkers are grass and that was how the course was when it originally opened - interesting concept to keep costs down.

Great course laid out beautifully

the course was well maintained and laid out beautifully. The staff was amazing and those were some of the toughest greens I ever played. Definitely recommend to anyone who is not a beginner.

Great Langford & Moreau layout

Minimal pro shop. No apparel or equipment. Balls,gloves and tees at best. Full service bar and restaurant. Staff is pleasant. No water coolers or bev cart service .

Course was hard and firm on greens and fairways.

For L&M fans, this is similar to Kankakee Elks.

No bunkers but has their design features everywhere.

Can’t beat $34 on a weekend

Good course. No sand. More than just straight boring fairways. I’d play it again

Called the pro shop letting them know we were running a little late, still accommodated us and got us on the course. Was super friendly. Played again that following Saturday, again, staff very friendly. And the food was good too in the clubhouse. We will be back again

Improvement Needed

When we arrived the girls in the pro shop were confused about charges when one of our number wanted their own cart due to concern for the rest of us as he lives in an area that has been hit with COVID-19 much worse than our rural area. This was solved by one of them taking us to a cart with a plexiglass divider.

We we were preparing to tee off on the first hole we saw a cart close to the weeds on the left side of the fairway. We thought this was a member of the group ahead of us, but it turned out to be someone who works at the golf course. Very strange. It also delayed us in starting our round by about five minutes, backing things up for everyone behind us.

Having played this course only once before, three years ago, many of the hole layouts were confusing. This was exacerbated by the fact the fairways were difficult to determine from the rough.

The greens, however, we're well maintained, fast and unforgiving. Quite the challenge and a unexpected surprise.

Awesome Track Awesome Value

Read my previous reviews on this golf course below. How can you go wrong with a $34 w/cart rate at 10am on a Sunday morning....and even get a mid morning weekend tee time?? Greens were in wonderful shape and rolling extremely smoothly. That's really all that matters at Spring Valley with vexing L&M 1920's greenpads. Sure some have lost their size and there's no sand on the course but it's still a tremendous challenge. Highly recommended.
