Lovely course good value for the money

Tee boxes, fairways, greens were quite good. Bunkers were mediocre at best. Food was excellent. Starter caused poor pace of play by not pairing folks up causing 4.5 round. Would be happy to play here again

Ball Hog

Fairways are very narrow and the grass was 6-8" tall off the fairway meaning you could lose your ball off it landed 2ft from the fairway. Perhaps I shoul improve my game to stay in the fairway but for now I won't be coming back any time soon.

Very Slow Play - Poor Course Mgmt

SVGC hosts a LOT of tournaments, which use 2 of the 3 nine-hole courses. Golf Now bookings will play the same 9 hole course twice,. At the turn the starter allowed 3 groups just teeing off to play before our back nine (we waited 24 minutes before continuing our round), Waited on every hole, do not recommend if there is a tournament or league play. Never Shaw a marshall. Fairway & greens were in good shape, staff was friendly. No option to call ahead for food at the turn.

Fun course

Typical mountain course with uneven lies. Greens were fantastic. Some tee boxes could use some love. Bunkers should be raked and fluffed. A few odd holes, #10 par 3 way uphill comes to mind. Directional flags would be a huge boost for first time players as sometimes what looks like a perfect tee shot lands in the rough.

A Perfect Golf Day

Despite the recent heat wave, the course was in great shape. A wide variety of holes and greens on a rolling course with four different tee options. Combine that with beautiful views of nearby mountains, friendly staff, and outstanding hot dogs and you get a perfect golf day!

Really enjoyed it

This course is a set of 3 9 hole (27 total) courses. When you check in they assign which 2 of the 3 you will be playing. I like the course. It is challenging. Was in great shape for mid summer. The staff was nice. Nice bar and dining area. Not a country club and not a muni. Somewhere in between. Also beautiful country golf.
