We are sorry to hear you had a bad experience. We have a strict and continuously changing set of protocol in place to protect both our customers and employees against Covid-19. This puts a lot of strain on our employees and creates a less welcoming environment. We have addressed this review with all team members to make sure everyone knows how to do their job while still promoting an enjoyable atmosphere at Spring Valley. We hope you will come give us another chance soon!

Beautiful setting for a relaxing round

Spring Valley is located in a wonderfully serene location in the Milpitas hills. It's quiet and beautifully surrounded by the hills. You can spot a hang glider or two on some days. It's a great place for the beginning golfer or high handicapper. If you're a low handicapper the course won't challenge you. I like it when I just want to get out and play, not really take on a challenge but just relax and enjoy a peaceful round. Because the higher handicapper plays here the pace can get a little slow but if you're going to wait a little between shots you could be in a lot worse places. It's a reasonable rate for what you get and the staff is nice.

Good value, fun public course

Very nice and fun old school layout. Through the green it’s kind of dried out, which is good because you can really get some roll. Greens are in excellent shape and well cared for. Good value here! Much more fun to play than SJ Muni for me.

Great Course!

First time playing this course with my brother got matched with a 2 sum had a great time! Course is in great shape definitely recommend this course for any player level.

One of the downsides is you cannot bring outside alcoholic beverages and they check your coolers. They do sell beers, snacks, and mini bottle of wines at the check in area and at the turn.

Spring Valley is in great shape!

I’ve been playing this course for years and conditions are darn near always very good... right now they are EXCELLENT! I’m not kidding I’d put these greens up against any in the Bay Area, public or private. Fairways are fantastic also. It’s a great time to play there.

First Time Playing

Long time listener, first time caller

I’ve lived in the Silicon Valley for a long time and somehow never played here until the great Covid Re-Opening - and I really liked it. Very enjoyable old-style golf course and layout here. Totally walkable. Great value too. Pace of play could be better but that’s true of almost everywhere these days. I’ll be back.

Pace of play

SLOW... played in a twosome behind a threesome. Waited at least 5-10 minutes on #’2, 3, 4. Waited 15 minutes on 9. Seemed to pick up a little around 13. 5 1/2 hour round. Greens were being sanded, but they gave a discounted rate which was nice.
