Dissapointed

Played in years past. Conditions have deteriorated and not worth the outing. Don't know how to describe the greens except "not green". Basically unmaintained and an embarrassment to show out of town guests.

AWFUL!!

The course conditions are incredibly poor. The only thing alive on the greens is the weeds. There is no sand in the bunkers. I mean NO SAND! The cart paths are in total disrepair. Puddles of mud and water everywhere. I’ve lived here for thirty years. Never seen a course this poorly maintained.

Neglected

We had played the course in December and again this last week. The December condition was a lot better than now. The front side greens were really neglected. The weeds on the fairways are starting to get the best of the place.

Greens are the worst I have ever played. Not sure if this is due to lack of staff, but very bad conditions

Better options

Not impressed with course conditions. Greens need some work. Most had weed patches growing through and were not smooth. Rouhg was also very patchy and bunkers were atrocious. I understand it's a public course and inexpensive (for the time of year) but you can still take care of the course.

PV park is good for the price.

Other than the greens the course is in okay condition. For the price it is a good value.

Greens Not Green

We had a great time playing golf at PV for the first time. the weather was perfect and the conditions were good for golf. However, the greens were a major disappointment. They were not green and played more like a sloped driveway than a golf course. I do not plan to play that course again until the greens are in better shape.

Others review accurate but harsh

It’s true , greens are terrible. Are they fast slow and will the weeds change the break? However, fairways were better than expected. Rough is just dirt and tee boxes were decent. “Paid $32 each for 18” and we had a good time. For that rate at this time of year, I would do it again. Lastly, front man obviously pulling a lot of work and seems like a good guy

As a start the snack shop was not open for breakfast, snacks etc. The greens were horrible, there was no drinking water on the course and no beverage cart. I played this course years ago and it was respectable however now it is horrific.

No greens

This course does not have greens, just patches of dirt. They should not charge anyone to play this course.
