Rock hard fairways

Clubs seem to bounce off the fairways since there were hardly any grass and dirt is so rock hard.

Fun and still challenging

Room for some error on most fairways but greens can be difficult.

Let us play through

Played the back 9 at 7am. When we got to the 13 tee box the grounds keeper was mowing the fairway. Instead of moving to the side he decides to stay in the middle of the fairway about 150yrd out. My partner send one buzzing over his mower.

Throughout the 13 and 14th hole all i heard was the noise of a john deere mower! Hey dummy!, pull over to the side, shut off your mower and let us play through peacefully!

Its been 5 days past and i can still hear that john deere echoing off the hillsides.

What should have been a peaceful, quite early morning round was spoiled be inconsiderate people!

Peaceful Place!

I've played many courses around the South Bay, and this one's my favorite by far. I love the peacefulness of this place--it's out of the craziness and up in the hills, and one hole even has a Buddhist temple on the hill above it complete with wind chimes and roosters! The snack shack off the 8th green is also a perfect spot with a great selection of beverages and food options. People are friendly and it's just a very relaxing place to be!

Greens are Much Better

This is my second time playing Spring Valley and whereas the last time (May 2023) the greens were super slow, this time they were much much better and rolled smooth at a medium fast speed

Fairways were decent with overall good coverage though they had some brown spots throughout. POP started off fine for the first 8 holes then got painfully slow. All in all this is a fun course with overall good conditions.

A great value

Greens are in great shape! The tee boxes could be worked on but all grass and seen worse. Fairways for most part were in good shape with with a few bare spots here and there. Fun course to play and had a nice breakfast after the round.

Tuesday Late Tee time

The course is in good condition and the pace of play was about 4 hours 10 minutes what I would consider better than good. We did get a little afternoon wind, but not as bad as other times. Overall a fun course in a great setting. I would play again anytime time of year.
