Spring Valley Golf Course

The first thing is the friendliness of the staff. Accommodating at every turn. The pace of play was probably one of the best I've experienced. And coming from SoCal where the pace of play is in no way regulated. It actually is regulated depending on how much you spend for a round of golf. But with this place that isn't the case because we got a great deal for the round. The course marshal was always polite. In fact at one point he had asked if a group had jumped out in front of us. We play at a somewhat steady/fast pace so it's nice to play a course that compliments that. The other area that I have to point out is the setting. Only a few miles above the noise of the city tucked into the foothills, complete silence. I've played a wide variety of courses, long, short, difficult, and easy. I always pay attention to the surroundings and the experience. I will definitely play this course any chance I get while I'm up here

Have been here twice and enjoyed both outings... The course is well maintained and the greens are excellent. I am a beginner (with around 15 outings on 9 hole courses) and this was my first 18 hole course... The fairways are wide and forgiving, even if you hit a bad shot, you could recover. Haven't lost a ball yet :). The Greens are tricky, with a gradient in few fairways, it's hard to establish the slopes in the green. Overall a pleasant and challenging experience

Spring Valley continues to provide a quality golf experience at a very reasonable price. I think this course often gets overlooked by younger longer hitters as a place where only more "seasoned" golfers play, but if you give it a shot you'll see that it offers great risk-reward for all levels. On this outing the course was very dry due to lack of rain in Nor Cal area and that made for "US Open" style conditions: "Firm and Fast" both fairways and greens were moving at lightning speeds. Have fun with some of the putts out there as the greens can really send you reeling! I had a great time and you will too.

Love this course when weather is wet since it tends to dry out quicker. Course was empty and in good shape friendly staff that got us off early. Wil play again.

Met for a quarterly meeting with my advisors. As, usual the place delivered. We had fun, in and out no problems, the fairways were very well groomed and the greens needed a bit of rolling etc... that said, the night before we had some rain so not surprising the machines were kept in the garage as not to damage the greens. Bottom line an excellent Value... and great place to play.

Good course and a surprisingly decent pace of play. We weren't slowed down or hurried up. Good value for the $40 per person.

I understand a golf coarse needs to earn a nickel but waiting through 2 to 3 foursomes from the first tee to the ninth is ridiculous. They must have had a foursome going off every 5 minutes. My wife and I left after 9 holes and will not be back. They did offer us the alternative to start at hole 1 and try and get the front 9 in a second time and appreciate the effort but came to play 18 holes.

It was little chillier then I thought it would be. Always good to play in the morning except chilliness. As usual, had fun and enjoy playing with my boy who out hits the distance over me.
Even though it was weekend, due to weather peace and quite.
Enjoyed it very much.

The course was above average with good green. There were too many groups playing very slow. Had to wait every hole, especially par 3 holes. Could not start on time and finish 18 holes. But I enjoyed fine.

The people working there should go do something they really want to and not take out their frustrations on the golfers, will NEVER golf here again!

I love Spring Valley. It's a fair course and when I play golf, I like to get away from traffic and noise. SV is the perfect place.
The fairways are always well maintained, the greens are good. Some are very tricky and the practice area is perfect. There is a driving range, a great putting green and a big chipping area.
The grill is special! People don't know how good the food is! They also have TV's and an awesome patio. Good place to play, practice, eat, and chill.

The staff in pro shop was so kind and the course was nice. There was some delay because of golf tournament for highschool students.

Overall, this is a great course nestled away in the hills above Milpitas. The holes are all very manageable and the course is maintained decently. Not a difficult course by any stretch but offers a great variety of holes/looks. The only downside that exists here is that you have to have more than 4.5 hours to complete a round. The clubhouse greed is in effect here; they book tee times just 7 minutes apart so be prepared to wait to tee off EVERY SINGLE HOLE!

Played on a Saturday afternoon to get the best rate. I would not pay full price to play this course. It was short (except the par 3s), packed with players, and had a lot of hardpan. Fairways and layout were OK. The rough, if you can call it rough, was short and patchy. I hit several tee shots I though would be good only to find that I had gone through the fairway, through the "rough", and run out on hardpan (blind tee shots and not having played the course didn't help). Plus on the few shots I did spray, the hardpan significantly affected the shot and if I was in bounds I was playing off of concrete. I scratched up a club or two playing off the stuff. The front was worse than the back as I recall.

Greens were somewhat inconsistent, some faster, some slower, nothing special. Not a lot of bunkers (in fact I didn't play from a bunker my whole round). In all another average, slightly over-priced muni course in my opinion. Worth a play, but probably won't be back unless I can get a good discount.

We had a very nice time, played with a nice couple. Course is challenging and in great condition.

They need the marshall to make sure everyone is keeping up with the group in front of them. Even though the course was crowded, (not unusual for a weekend), the group in front of us fell behind by at least 2 holes. This kept everyone, beginning with our group, having to wait at the tee box and out in the fairway for them to clear for our next shots. It was very frustrating

The course is well maintained. Marshall riding around to make sure the pace of play is good.

- Well maintained, better than municipal courses, not as interesting than top courses (not as expensive neither)
- Windy and a little hilly make it a little harder than rated
- Nice restaurant, club house, snack bar and bathroom centrally located
- Play fast on a weekday afternoon

I love the water hazards on the 9th and 18th holes.

Myself and some of my usual golfing buddies took the opportunity to play at Spring Valley in Milpitas. We found the course in good condition, with the fairway mostly comfortable to play, some with blind greens for a challenge, but most marked with a pole for an aiming point. The greens can be a bit tricky, as the course is sloped at different angles, so often you can be fooled unless you play close attention.
