Spring Valley Golf Course

Secluded, peaceful but still accessible. Greens in great condition. Fairways terrible---bumpy, sparse---in need of a major make over. Personally, I like that there is very little sand.

Pace of play was about 6 hours, with multiple groups backed up at each Par 3. You're better off paying more for a smoother round of golf elsewhere.

slow Sat play; 1st time playing and was pleasantly surprised at how nice the course was. Was told we would start on time but we were delayed 15 -20 minutes before teeing off.

Had a great time...staff was awesome...Bartender made great Martini's, the greens are challenging because of the slopes, but fair, you just gotta think a bit.

Fire Sale! $29 with Cart on a Thursday afternoon!
Great GolfNOW value! Course was in good condition.
Greens above average. Speed of play was average. Waited a couple of minutes on a couple PAR 3's. Great veiws. Highly recommend watching for the FIRE SALE for this course!

Nothing particularly special about this course. It offers, for the most part, some wide open fairways. Occasionally, you'll run across a more challenging hole that requires shaping your tee shot. Greens were well maintained but a little slow. Fairways were clean.

Greens too sandy and there are lots of muddy areas. Overall a nice course to play.

This is a good course for all types of golfers although less experienced golfers will feel, as they might at any course, some pressure to keep moving. The course is popular and slow play is often the rule. Too bad it isn't a regulation course. If the 2nd and 16th Par 3 holes were lengthened to be Par 4 holes (very possible to do with the available property), then it would be a very nice Par 72 course.

This course has some challenging holes and some very easy holes. Holes13, 14 and 15 are sometimes referred to as amen corner.

This is a good course for high handi players or for better players that want to go out work on some shots and not get killed if your power fade does not fade.

I've always loved this course. This is one of the courses I learned to play golf on, so it will always have a special place in my heart. Admittedly it is not very challenging for advanced golfers, but you can get in to some trouble. There are a handful of very tricky greens, and again there are a handful of holes where you will need your A game to conquer. But ultimately it is not very long, there are very few bunkers and water is only in play on 3 holes, and those are just a matter of clearing it with a modest tee shot. But what this course does offer is beautiful surroundings, very quiet and peaceful, and a really fun course to play a round on. Conditions are always solid here as well, as they do a great job of maintaining it with so much play. I only really have one complaint, and that is the price. I used to play this all the time, but they have priced me out of their course in the last few years. Weekday rates are pretty good, but the weekend rates are too high for me. Having said that, I can't blame them for charging it since they seem to be getting it. Personally, I'll just wait to play it when Golf Now offers one of their good deals.

I golf most frequently at Spring Valley. For a low teens handicapper, it's perfect-enough challenge to make it fun, not so hard it is frustrating. A low handicapper may find it too easy.

The conditions are great, and the scenery is classic North California and just beautiful, set in the east bay hills.
