Valencia Golf & Country Club

Cart paths are very torn up in places, pretty much off roading in some spots, which makes it strange that they make you sign a lease agreement to keep people from damaging the carts. The clubhouse staff and bag checker were very helpful and polite, but the starter was rude.

Great local course in a nice community. Was paired up with very nice people that live there. Had a fun time! Will definitely play it again.

1st tee was running 20-30 minutes behind schedule at 10am on a perfectly clear Sunday morning.. Pace of place was slow … it took 3 hours to play 11 holes. Combined with our 25 minute tee-off delay, we left at the 3h25m mark on the 12th tee before completing our round. The ranger was nowhere to be found. The practice range was hard as a rock, greens were hard and super fast, which is OK except when holes are placed on ridges of greens so a missed putt rolls 10 feet past the cup. Fairways were OK but still so firm we’d get ridiculous roll-outs. Not a great experience, not a great facility. A guy checking in ahead of me tried to order a Bloody Mary at the nearby snack bar, but the server told him they no longer have a liquor license. Valencia is just another typical Naples public golf course that wouldn’t cost $50 a round in the Midwest but costs $140-$200 per round during the season here. All that money and the golf operation is below average? Spend a little more and go play Old Corkscrew, a beautiful course with a first-class golf operation.

Pace of play was beyond bad, waiting and waiting and waiting at every hole. Almost five hours for 18 holes. The course is in bad shape, and even where there was construction surrounding the course, it wasn't pretty at all. The starter was great, but not at all worth $300.00 for two. Maybe in two years when it's no longer a construction site, but certainly not now. Our cart got stuck in mud and rocks and had to be pushed out.

Great course and in great shape ! Not super challenging but overall a good experience!

I left directly from my part-time post-retirement job to play here. It was the perfect end to the day. I always enjoy playing here.

Staff is exceptionally friendly.

Course is not difficult but the greens are tricky with undulations.

The clubhouse and pro shop are basic but who cares about amenities.

The rangers do a good job about pace of play so you can pretty well count on 4 hours and not much longer.

As for price it is competitive with other public courses in Naples.

This course has a nice layout and forgivingly wide fairways, which is nice. But it is in no way an elite course! We played for about $105 at twilight and finished. Sadly, that is great value in Naples where most courses are wildly overpriced. Even Valencia is about $180 in prime time, which is double what a comparable course would cost in many prominent golf resort areas.

Nice course but $155 to $165 price point is too high.
