Highly Recommended
The course is in excellent shape. Pace of play was very good. The staff is second to none, very friendly and accommodating. Great value, would highly recommend the course.
Ariss Valley
Great course for the value. Wasn't even that busy for a holiday Monday. I really enjoyed myself!
ariss valley
Course was in great shape and excellent value. Pace of play was great our foursome played in 3.5 hours which is nice for a change
challenging
wonderful course,great value for the money. the greens were well maintained and quick.
Great for a quick round
Have not played here since I started golfing about 17 years ago. Got a great deal through Golfnow at $10 for the round so why not right? This is a hilly course to walk but if you are in ok shape you will be fine. Played the Willows and the Lakes and found the Lakes to be in the best shape. Pretty short course from tee to green but once you get on the green don't expect a flat lie anywhere. Bring your putter to this course because the greens are very challenging. A little more TLC would make this place much nicer.
a little bit of everything
A course with challenges of every kind, Ariss Valley is a very enjoyable and challenging average-golfers course. The facilities and staff provide a very welcoming experience with excellent food for a quick turn.
A challenge for any skill level
Played Pines to Lakes. Plenty of water, creeks, and environmental that will offer enough challenges on each hole to demand distance and/or accuracy. With a slope rating of 117 it is a good all around course for most skill levels. Course conditions were very good, highly recommend it.
Ariss Valley
Great little course with some fun holes. I could see the conditions only getting better as when I was there it looked as if the grass was cut for the first time in weeks with the amount of clippings and the topdressed greens were a little rough in spots. The course is very playable with room to spray a tee shot here and there.
Terrible Cart Paths
Although this course has become more challenging, it is still very rough in spots and needs a paved cart path because we bounced our way through the entire path. You need a cart to play here because it is very hilly. The cart rate should be significantly reduced because of the shake-up you get on it.
Basics
This course was a mess! The grounds were covered in sod clods, there isn't a bench ANYWHERE, and the greens were terrible. This course is going downhill fast.
Not in the best of shape
Green fees too high for course quality. You can do a lot better.
Glad I took a cart
From a bogey golfer's point of view the rough is thick for average player. Fairways are a must. Greens still have winter damage - ball hops.
Full rates are a bit high for the course conditions.
Ariss
Good value for the money - some greens had a hard winter. Nice having the 3 - 9's. 4 hour round including a beer on he patio after. Nice clubhouse and staff was friendly. I will be back soon.
great value
course was very wet, looking forward to play again dryer condition.
Nice course to play
Enjoyable course. Many interesting holes. However course was very wet. Greens need some work. Will definitely return in drier conditions.
great walk
the weather at Ariss Valley started off with drizzle, but after the second hole it cleared up nicely to our expectations.A little soggy in spots but that is to be expected at this time of year....overall a great early season golf day. Also, because of the threat of rain, there were only a few players on the course, and it was like we owned the track for the day
Really nice course
This course has 3 nines - I played the Pines & Willows. This is a really nice course on a beautiful piece of land - rolling hills and LOTS of water, which is in play on many of the holes - including 3 greens that are surrounded by water. The greens were fast and challenging but not in the best of shape with lots of brown patches. Sand traps were nice. Want to go back in mid season and play the Lakes course as well
Nice track.....Can be very challenging in spots.
Course is still growing after a harsh winter with much ice but the greens were fast and true nevertheless. The pro shop staff are very accommadating and receptive. I expect the course to be in excellent shape within the month. I'll certainly be back.
wet and unkept
Too early in the season, I really wish they weren't open. I drove a distance to check it out and paid 57$ for a "discounted round" with a cart. Fortunately they were kind enough to give me a voucher for half the value, not that I am eager to go back anytime soon.
