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 layout
This course has a nice layout. Be ready it is challenging. First hole is easy but after that be ready.
The course is fairly straightforward in front of you. There are some tricky lay up shots on par 5s. If it is windy it brings a whole other problem. It is definitely a must play.
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!

Always great greens
Overall experience on this day was very good. Greens were in great shape aside from #2. Fairways were generally good. Only complaint is the surrounds on some of the greens need attention especially #7
Bunkers need attention also.

Can never get 18 in (Pro Shop Sucks)
Never seem to be able to get 18 holes in. Either tournaments start after we go out, or like today, the pro shop decides to start people on the back nine, this time a group of five, and we get bogged down.

Private Member Harrassment
We were a foursome and finished our round right at four hours after stopping at the snack bar and allowing two twosomes to play through. However, on the back nine we were continually harassed by a private member foursome behind us for holding them up. It made for an unenjoyable round.
We mentioned the harassment issue to the club pro and he was understanding and offered to buy us a round of drinks in the clubhouse. That was another unenjoyable experience. Some of the clubhouse patrons were loud and obnoxious and four letter cuss words could be heard throughout.
My recommendation is do not pay golf here. The atmosphere on the course and in the clubhouse is caustic.
We’re sorry to hear of your less-than-satisfactory experience and hope you will accept our sincerest apologies.
We value our customers' opinions and would like to make things right and determine how we can provide a solution that makes you smile.
Please contact us directly at the pro shop. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Bunkers
Most bunkers were not maintained at all, some full of standing water, no sand, or rock hard. Several shots were ball rolled through the bunker.

Dayton Valley Golf Club
Having never played this course before, I was fortunate to get paired up with a couple of guys who play there semi regularly. Without their insights the course would have tough to navigate. The course “layout” on the back of score card did little in the way of preparing you for the hazards, water, green locations, and narrow fairway widths. I normally shoot about 84-85, but shot a 90 on this course.

First Round of the Season
A few dry and damaged areas on the golf course that need a lot of work.
Sand traps are not very good and more like hard ground and gravel.
I really like the layout and the course has many water challenges that I seemed to find. Fun Layout and a good course to work on shot selection, and precise shots are well rewarded.

Dayton Valley Couse
It was a little windy to start. First hole into a 15 knot wind. Second hole with the wind. Fun both ways. The wind dissipated after 9. Sunny day, perfect conditions the back nine. Greens had just been sanded, so that made it hard to judge putts, so we just opted for 2 putt max, if you were within 2 feet on your first. Some greens were faster, some incredibly slow, (sand), was inconsistent. Otherwise, it was a great day.
