Great as always

Course in pretty good shape for this time of year. A little frozen areas today (33’ tee time) and windy but good time with great friends. Definitely a must play if in the area.

Beautiful golf day!

Greens were awesome! Course was nice. Kept on cart path only which is ok. Preserving the fairways was best. Couldn’t ask for a better day to enjoy!

Wet but good

There was a hot deal for $14 on GolfNow so we couldn't pass it up. The course was empty when we tee'd off and the temperature was about 40. Considering how much rain and snow we've had the course was ok. The greens were actually pretty good and rolled true. Weather has been nasty to say the least but it warmed up to 63 before the winds kicked in.

Solid Saturday morning

Paid $22 for our round through GolfNow and we had a blast. The greens on the white 9 had been aerated and sanded so that was a factor but they still rolled well. We were not notified of this but I guess the price reflected that. The pace of play was reasonable and so we were able to take our time and enjoy the round for a Saturday morning. The cart girl made her way around a few times so that was nice even though we did not get anything. The course is a bit quirky, but i like it! You do not have to hit driver in every hole and it is a great course to work on your long irons and short game. When the greens get rolling quick, you have to be able to keep yourself below the hole or your score can balloon pretty fast! Overall had a blast and will be back again. Not the closest course in the area for me, but it is a good course to visit once or twice a year.

Very Good Conditions Despite Extended Wet Weather

The best aspect of Shenandoah Valley Golf Club has always been its excellent course conditioning. Even with persistent wet weather this summer, the course remains in good shape and a fun, relaxing place to play.

While the rains keep coming and coming, the course is still in good shape with almost no standing water, mowing crews still hard at work, and immaculate greens as always. Bunkers look like they’ve been cared after if not totally pampered and the fairways and tees are nice and full.

I still wish the layout out here was more inspired. Every hole that’s not a par-3 is a don’t-think-twice driver hole and very few options from the fairways as well. That said, if your game is suffering a bit, this is a great place to come get some good practice in without feeling frustrated or cheated. Good GolfNow deals can be had most days, just try to avoid all the leagues and group play as this 27-hole course gets crowded quickly.

I recommend giving this and next-door Bowling Green CC a try. They won’t knock your socks off, but sometimes it’s good to just have a nice, stress-free round.

Great golf facility

Booked through Golf now for 9:56 AM as a single, got there a little early, loaded my clubs and headed for the first tee. A threesome was about to tee-off, ask if I could join them and they were very nice to allow me to join their group.

I play Shenadoah Valley a few times each year, always friendly staff and the course was in great shape as usual, greens were smooth and receptive, fairways well mown, the rough was a little long but there has been a few days of showers. All around great day.

Another Great Day at Shenandoah

Once again, the course was in perfect condition. With the lack of rain, I was concerned the course may be dried out, but it was fantastic. It was a gorgeous day, so I expected it to be slow. But, once again, the pace of play was great.

Perfect Course on the Perfect Day

I purchased one of GolfNow's Hot deals to bring my brother golfing for his birthday. Everything was perfect. The Course was in great shape. It wasn't too difficult. The staff was friendly, and the pace of play was fantastic. I would highly recommend this course.

Also of note. GolfNow lists this as a 9 hole course. It is actually a 27 hole course. When you sign up for an 18 hole round you are given two of the 9 hole courses (titled Red, White, or Blue) to play.

Great Course

Course was in super shape. Props to the Green's Keeper and Staff!!! This is a beautiful course and what is great about this course is there are 27 holes and the starter knows his job well and sets up the course to avoid jamming foursomes on top of each other. The pace of play was perfect, never felt rushed and never ran up on the group in front of us. It was a pleasure to golf there and we will be playing there again many times this years. Thanks
