About
Dayton Valley Golf Club is an Arnold Palmer Signature design that has been a PGA Tour Qualifier course since 1995, making it the longest standing site in the country. The course is surrounded by the Sierra Nevada Mountains and stretches across the valley below. The rolling, links-style layout features sculpted fairways and large, undulating greens. You may find yourself faced with a tough lie even after a good shot. It's a challenging test with plenty of water and strategically placed bunkers coming into play throughout. Careful shot placement is especially important on the water holes at Dayton Valley G.C. The most difficult hole on the golf course is the par-4 ninth. It's a lengthy dogleg left with water down along the entire left side of the fairway and short and right of the green. On your approach, hitting left of the green you'll find heavy rough or pot bunkers.

Nice course worth the trip
Course is in good shape. Only a few minor bad spots. Great pace of play. Interesting layout makes it not hard but challenging enough.
Thank you for taking the time to review us. Your feedback is valuable, and we appreciate your business. Dayton Valley Golf Club thanks you!
Nice!
Have played here several times and really enjoy the course. It's in good shape for late October and we lucked out with nice weather and calm winds. Staff was very friendly. Like that they allow hitting off real grass on the driving range.
My image is the back of the green of the par 3 sixth.
Thanks so much for the great review. We look forward to welcoming you back to our course soon. Thanks for choosing Dayton Valley Golf Club.

High winds equaled high scores today
Pace of play was average for a Saturday. We did appreciate the Marshall speaking to the group in front to pick up the pace. Wouldn't have mattered where we played today, the wind with gusts at times of 40MPH is something we can't control. Still enjoyed the day on the course.
Thank you for visiting us at Dayton Valley Golf Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Challenging but fun course
Greens were in good condition, recently top dressed so the speed was fast. Fairways were in good shape. Had a few wet spots. But we saw the crews out making repairs. The only complaint with regard to the course was the bunkers, no sand, some spots firm gravel. The staff was great. Even with the traps not having much sand, I'd still play this course again. Course management or bust on this layout!
Thank you for reviewing the course. Your feedback about the sand traps is important to us. We are working to get everything at the course up to par. The current condition is not the standard we strive to achieve. We are going to escalate your feedback to our team so we can make improvements before your next game. We will continue to work towards an excellent experience by using your comment for guidance. Thank you for playing Dayton Valley Golf Club. We hope to see you again soon.
Slow Play!!!!!!!!
The course was OK. Not a traditional Palmer layout, but nice greens and some interesting holes.
Pace of play, however, was horrible.
There were no marshals on the course.
We were put out as a twosome.
There was a foursome two holes in front of us who were consistently a hole and a half behind.
We left out of frustration.
Fortunately, the greens fees were low, so we didn’t mind not finishing 18.
We will not play there again. Ever.
Not impresses
May say Palmer design but not maintained. Rough was extremely thick, and lots of areas under repair. Bunkers were poor with having rocks all over them. Was not expecting the course to be in that rough of condition, along with sounding club/HOA amenities. Pace of play was terribly slow, waiting roughly 15 to 20 min between at each tee box.
Waiting 15 to 20 minutes on each hole would equate to around 300 minutes of "wait time", just under 4 hours. If you figure an additional 3 hours of actual playing time, that would be 7 hours. Did you have a 7 hour round out there or are you really just exaggerating?
Perfect day
My wife and I had a 7:40 tee time. The fairway and greens were pretty wet from the irrigation on the first few holes. After that it was a beautiful course that was very well maintained. We loved the “moguls” and open fairways that are perfect for our game. Their was plenty of water and sand traps to navigate, but easy enough to avoid unless you really spray a shot. Wish we could get another early tee time to beat the heat before we head back east. Would definitely play here again when back in town.
