Poor quality
Very horrible course, do not recommend anyone playing here. The tee boxes are just hard packed mud that you can’t get a tee into. What is supposed to be a fairway is nothing but neglected grass and covered in the tree leaves and bark. Once you do get on what is supposed to be a green it’s nothing but sand with a little bit of green grass. Good luck putting for how rough the green is. Cart path is all dirt and by 7:30 is mud. No on course restrooms or drink cart, stations, nothing. The staff were the rudest people you could have running a course. It’s too much to check people in and run the business. Will not be going back to this place. Go to a real course if you want to play
The greens
Had a great time playing. However, there is one thing that needs to be addressed there.The greens have SOOOO much sand on them the pitches were just going thru. Nothing would grab. Even a flop shot skidded away. Needs to be fixed.
Good for Price
It’s $25 to play 18 holes. Don’t expect the world, great course to practice and have fun with some buddies. Do I wish the course had better greens? Yes. But again it’s $25 so it’s all good, I play it a few times a year. It’s slower since a lot of par 3’s so bring a speaker, buy some beers and have a good time.
Paradise Valley
OKAY value for the money. Driving range OK, good putting and chipping areas, course OK but busy which slowed pace. Nice place to tune up iron play. Best described as pasture golf. Greens kept better than fairways. Sand traps hard enough to putt out of. Cart paths sucked!
Fun course for a quick round
Executive course, mostly par threes, with a few par fours and one par five. Staff in the pro shop were very friendly and helpful. Golf carts are gas powered, clean and dependable. No GPS. Decent condition on fairways, some bare dirt and long grass off the fairways. Greens were very good and putts rolled true. Cart paths were mostly dirt with many potholes and deep puddles of standing water. Very few golfers on the day we played so pace of play was excellent. Overall a fun course to play.
Needs improvement
The condition of the course has deteriorated over the years. Weeds and crabgrass grow on the fairways and the greens are in poor condition. It is less expense than other courses in the area but still overpriced.
Value
Shorter course, but can't beat the price and pace of play. Great chipping green, and friendly staff.
Pro Shop Staffer is a Jerk
Played PVGC several times. Good little track to hone in irons. Tee boxes and greens are great. Fairways are really not an issue as you shouldn't be on them very much anyway.
Big issue: fire the guy in the Pro Shop. He's a jerk. Lectured me because I showed up 2 minutes late. Very unhelpful and rude. Seems like an unhappy codger that needs to go sit on the porch and yell at squirrels.
