Ariss Valley Golf and Country Club - Pines Course

I really can't throw stones at a course that allows me to golf in mid-November. I'd have to play it in the regular season to give a fair review.

The course was almost empty, what a shame.

Beutiful day

Fun hidden gem. The course is in good shape and is fun to play. Easy walk. There are a couple of soggy holes on the lakes nine which can cause your ball to plug otherwise I would recommend getting out here and having a fun day with friends.

I want to play golf again in Ariss valley CC.
Because out of 9 hole(Pine course) we can't course at all.
In of 9 hole(willows course) is good.
Next time I had better take power cart.

The course has, in part, the feel of a links course, with exposure to the wind as well as tall, fescue like grasses protecting the fairways and greens. We were able to tee off on time or somewhat before and finished our round in almost exactly 4 hours, despite some slower players ahead of us. There were no visible marshals on the course and on occasion a groundskeeper continued to mow in front of the tee boxes despite the fact that we were about to tee off. Aside from that, all of the other staff we experienced - drinks cart driver, club shop salesperson, wait staff/bartender - were exceptionally helpful and friendly, in an informal yet professional manner. We thoroughly enjoyed our outing and were frankly surprised that there were not more people at the course.

Interesting layouts throughout all three nines as well as challenging greens.

Played the Pines and the Lakes.
Love the look of the corse and it was in good shape.

Would deffinetly recomend a cart as there is a lot of up and down hills.

Played the Lakes considering the recent amount of rain it was fine except when you hit a ball in the rough it was very difficult to find it. Grass seems to be very long and balls sink into the grass due to use of rotary rough mowers instead of reel style. Lots of blind tee shots and hazards that you can't see from tee. The Pines was are second nine and was a much more enjoyable nine due to better drainage and more playable layout. The course is a great overall design with lots of potential, however it is noticeable that the maintenance budget has been reduced due to recent negative change in the economy. Previous owners must of had big dreams which never became a reality.

This was my first time playing Ariss Valley so I didn't know what to expect. The staff were exceptionally friendly. The course was not fancy but well kept and exceptional value for the money ($35 on Golfnow). The good value continued to the beverage cart where a cold beer was a very reasonable $4.75. I would definitely play this course again.

A very fast paced 18 holes.
Finished in 3 hrs and 20 min.
The greens are groomed immaculately.

The fairways are generous but getting off the tee is crucial. Playing from the blue tees makes birdies hard to come by but the white tees are great for the weekend warrior. The greens are massive with lots of movement. Playing below the hole will save you 5 strokes a round. Above the hole becomes a 3 putt paradise. I have played often and enjoy it but I find myself fixing balls marks on the greens from other players. At $52 per round and $17for a cart, its over priced so the Golfnow deal of $35 for the walk and $17 for the cart is not a bad fit.

cousre was a little wet but we have had alot of rain. the wind was hard so it really added to the difficulty

the greens are fast The only thing that needs some attention is there bunkers. no sand and some has rocks others than that a very nice course

Fully enjoyed our round. Clearly thr weather has made for great conditions.

This course is situated in a valley, therefore i would not recommend playing after rain storm but in dry conditions a most excellent choice!

They have 3 nines Pines, Willows & Lakes. We played Pines & Willows , Lakes was quiet wet. Over all in good shape considering the amount of rain we had. Greens were quite slow.

Went out on a spur of the moment and completed a full 18 with 2 different balls on the scorecard and finished in under 4hrs walking. My only complaint was that I lost 2 balls in the middle of fairway due to the balls plugging deep in the very soggy turf . Played the Pines and Willows.

Great courses. Good value would play again if it was in drier conditions

The course is open with lots of fescue but is beautifully landscaped including a waterfall.

There was good value for the money. Carts seem a little expensive so walked 18.
