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.

Too many bad lies course is in bad condition. What happened this course used to be in pristine condition.
Where the Eagles fly
Dayton Rocks is really the answer. This place is definitely a Palmer designed course with all the water. Number nine gets me every time but I love the challenge as I have skinned this hole before with just a par in a 20 man group. This course is dollar for dollar the best around.

Needs Work
Greens were pretty good.
Tees were just ok
Sand traps were a mess and should be treated as ground under repair
Fairways were mostly awful

What’s happening at Dayton?
Lots of dry fairways much less plush than in the past. Doing drainage repairs?
Greens good.

Fairways need work
Tee boxes, greens in great shape, but large parts of fairways either waterlogged or bare. Needs work.
Hello, u838921757. Thanks so much for your review. We're so glad you enjoyed your round at Dayton Valley Golf Club. That's what we like to hear! We hope to see you again soon!
Disaster
Obviously this course has had some major irrigation issues and it’s basically unplayable at this time. Of course, everyone could understand unfortunate circumstances and irrigation issues at a golf course, but to charge the regular price without communicating with the guest the state of the course is unacceptable.
Thanks for the info as I always check recent reviews when coming out of town . Thanks again!
