Horseshoe Resort - Valley

About
The Valley Course is a heavily forested golf course is the original layout at the club. The course is unique in that it has relatively short yardages rated with such high slopes mainly due to the tight fairways and numerous elevation changes. The driver will most likely stay in your bag while the long irons will be used often. The golf course is very tight, offering an ideal place to get some practice with irons. It is also provides an ideal warm-up round for the more difficult course at the Horseshoe Resort, the Highlands Course.

Golf day
Overall the course was in great shape but a number of greens need a lot of work due to dead zones. Putting was a problem as you ball would bounce in these dead zones. Staff were great, location was excellent. Played with two other golfers and had a good day
A joke of a golf course
What an absolute joke of a golf course. Half the greens looked like they’d been through a forest fire, the fairways were basically patches of dirt, and the rough hasn’t seen a drop of water since the Stone Age. Calling it “playable” is generous — there wasn’t a decent lie anywhere. The bunkers? Don’t even bother calling them bunkers. They were concrete pits you could putt out of. For the price they’re charging, this has to be the biggest rip-off in Ontario golf. I could’ve gone to Settlers’ Ghost for $20 more and actually enjoyed myself, instead of feeling like I just played 18 on a construction site.
Valley course
Many areas need refurbishing t boxes greens and fairways seems that the dry weather caused alot of these issues but still paying $80-$100 a round is not advisable. Spend your hard earned money elsewhere.
Terrible
Lousy boxes, fairways and the greens we absolutely garbage. Never again
Terrible
T box’s, fairways and greens were in pathetic shape. 25 minutes on the back nine per hole wait time. No Marshals anywhere. We quit after only 14 holes. To finish it would of been a 6 hour round.NEVER AGAIN
Suffering from summer heat
This course spreads out over mountain ridges. In the front flat lands the greens were like carpets. But once on the slopes the course is hurting from the harsh summer heat.
The course is very tight and you better be a good putter as greens have lots of breaks and pulls from the elevation pulls.
Not worth the money
The course is in very poor shape, many greens are virtually unplayable. The fairways are equally in poor shape. We have golfed many local courses that have cheaper green fees but conditions 100 % better. We feel the quality of Horseshoe Valley’s course does not justify the fees they are charging!!! We are very disappointed to play a resort course that is in such poor shape. We feel we should be compensated in some way for the poor conditions at Horseshoe Valley. Historically Horseshoe Valley had a reputation of a beautiful champion course. It certainly doesn’t live up to this now!
The greens.
Some were rough and dry, but so was this summer,
Otherwise , not too fast, not to slow.
Terrible,
Course was in horrible condition, t boxes fairways and greens were pathetic. Do not waste your time on this dump.
Avoid this course until MGMT fixes it
Just played this course today and it was a complete waste of time and money. Tee decks and fairways are dried up, greens are covered in brown patches with no grass, and nothing looks maintained — not even mowed properly.
It’s especially unfair for customers driving from far, only to find the course in this condition. Management should close the course, fix it properly, and only reopen when it’s playable. Charging people for this is unacceptable.
Great Staff
I wanna give a great review because of the staff. From the Poo Shop attendant to the Marshall and the
Beverage cart, everyone was so helpful and friendly. However, the shape of the course was not very good, Bunker's were hard , with very little sand and not maintained, fairways had very little grass and some greens and tee boxes were just not nice. The layout of the course is very good and challenging but I hope they spend more money and time on making the conditions more enjoyable.

What happened to the Valley Course?
This used to be a great golf course....now its not worth the money and its virtually unplayable ....fairways are sparse , greens , tees and bunkers are a disaster.....I won't be back until there is some improvements made to the golf course ...sad.
Terrible Shape
This course has definitely been neglected terribly. All courses are suffering because of lack of rain. But this one has not been maintained.
Very disappointed.
