Great year round

For all of you year round golfers like myself, there is no finer place to play. With replay prices that are more than reasonable, you can enjoy all three nines.

Course Has Really Gone Down Hill

I have played Shenandoah Valley before but it had been a couple of years. The staff was fine. The greens were good, held well, and were mostly smooth. The issues for me were the fairways and the rough. The fairways were very thin. Many places there was little to no grass and very hard. The rough was just the opposite. It was very thick and the height was very inconsistent. There was no intermediate cut at all. You were either on the fairway or in deep rough. Weather here was been great with plenty of rain so the fairway condition kind of mystified me. I was very disappointed with the overall condition. It has deteriorated over the last several years. Also if you play here keep your head on a swivel. A lot of blind tee shots and the fairways are very close. One gentleman got hit in the head while we were there! There are better values in the immediate area.

What a treat!

An absolute favorite of mine. Great winter course as well, for those die hard golfers like myself. These three nines are always in tip-top shape. If you leave here without playing all three nines, you have done yourself a disservice.

Shhhhhhhhhh--keep this a secret!

Golf Now had a steal of a deal on a beautiful Saturday. I've always enjoyed this course as you feel like you've escaped. It's green and well maintained. The scenery in the area is an added bonus. Nothing but praise for this place.

Fun Course

The course has a great staff and makes you feel welcome. The pace of play was excellent (2 of us played 18 holes in less than 3 hours.) We'll will be coming back often!

Lovely, well-maintained course but slow play

This course is always in good shape. It is very playable, but not without challenges such as some blind shots and narrow openings. The greens are fairly straightforward but subtle breaks can confuse the read. Great staff and a good value. There is no water on this course but sand bunkers and thick rough add to the challenge. My complaint this day was the glacial pace of play, which is perhaps unfair as I was a single and did finish in four hours. That said, there was a group of three older players (and I am 69) in front that were painfully slow, holding up a twosome in front of me, myself, and a twosome behind me. No one was in front of them and they did not invite anyone through. At one point all three of us groups were behind them on one hole. No marshall there to scoot them along. Regardless, I recommend this nice course.

What an awesome course -- Worth the drive (no matter how far)

We had passed on playing the course a few times before because of the location, and what a mistake on our part. This course is beautiful, in EXCELLENT condition, and the people working there were all awesome.

It took about 50 minutes to drive there from home, and like I said was worth it. Would have played all 27 holes but the 3rd 9 (Red course) was already full, so only played with White and Blue courses (this time). I will be back as it is so beautiful.

No water hazards on the White and Blue (they have a cistern you can see from #1 on Blue, which is cool).

This course needs to be on your must play list, if it is already, move it to the top!!!

I will go back in October when the leaves have changed!

Great course, slow pace of play.

This is a really good course, nice Amenities. The only issue was slow play which could have been alleviated had the ranger did his job. Waited on each hole, saw the ranger once he was behind us the issue was ahead of us he tuned around and went in the opposite deriction.
