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.

Golfer Reviews
Interesting Layout
Mountain type course, cut out of the trees, Good variety of holes, all challenging to par. Greens quite large and well maintained. Playable in under two hours.
Greens were in great shape.
Course was in overall good condition with a few rough spots & bare spots but overall pretty good. I think i didnt really like was the very unlevel & sloping tee decks. They need to be leveled & fix turf better on a lot of them. Other then that it was a good game & nice staff
great course layout
Course was in great shape however they did not have score cards available. This makes it challenging for a someone playing the course for the 1st time
Great but...
We thought we were getting 18 holes as that is what the course usually plays. They have closed the front nine, so you are only playing 9 holes. With taxes and fees, this is not really good deal. I should have read the fine print a little more closely.
OK course but nothing great. Shame on Horseshoe Resort for closing the Highlands course which was a great course. This is definitely the poor cousin
OK course but nothing great. Shame on Horseshoe Resort for closing the Highlands course which was a great course. This is definitely the poor cousin and at best a municipal course NOT a resort course.
In rough shape
Seems like they’ve left this place to rot.... looks like it hasn’t been cared for at all. Cool layout, but the entire course is hardpan, barely playable.
Love the course
Love t his course. Good value for the money but fairways were in rough shape. It rained yest and overnight and was drizzly when we started out at noon today. Several of the fairways were in really rough shape. Messed up by the carts on holes with no cart paths. Overall I love this course. It has many challenges; especially with so many greens surrounded by tough bunkers.
Course in very poor condition, bare spots,weeds, unkept greens, and tee boxes. Staff very friendly.

Tired Old Resort Course
On a Monday when our home course was closed for aeration we visited Horseshoe Resort. It was obvious that the resort is spending very little money on maintaining the golf course. Greens were slow and in terrible shape. Often fairways were spotty or non-existent. Not sure when is the last time they spent any money on fertilization or weed killing. Very disappointing to see how they have let this course deteriorate. Greens were rock hard and it was completely lucky to stay on the putting surface. Won't be back even at this reduced price.

Sub par!
I have always wanted to good at Horseshoe resort and was very disappointed greens were patchy not maintained. in the tee boxes grass was long and very very hard couldn’t put my tee in some spots. Fairways were all patchy and partially dead! And sometimes I would hit it to maybe 10 feet off the green and I should be in fringe and I was in dirt! Oh and hole one you had to hit it over some concrete thing where there were also like hydro wires just super weird
So wouldn’t recommend this course to anyone unless it’s like max $20 with a cart because then you know what your getting
But could easily be better with just some maintenance

Course is in horrible shape. Vast areas of fairways are dead its like playing on a mud cracked dry lakebed at times. The worst part in the morons from the city who have weekend places adjoining the course seem to think that they own the place a roam about wherever and whenever they please. One idiot walked his dog up the side of 5th teebox as I was teeing off and another time kids running around on the fairway playing fetch with their dog in front of us to name a few. We quit after 9 holes as we were tired of the attitude when we asked them to remove themselves from the hole when we where playing. Won't go back. No one seems to care about the place.

Poor condition
The course is in extremely poor condition, fairways and greens are heavily damaged.
The cost is far to much for the condition of course

Avoid!
I booked a Golfnow twilight round at the Valley Course with hopes that it would live up to the "unique 18 holes" that Skyline Resorts boasts for it to be; however, this course has deteriorated from good quality since I last played (spring 2018) to virtually unplayable for all types of golfers! In the three holes I played before realizing that it was nowhere near worth the price tag of $50, I experienced unkept tee boxes (all 3 holes), a entire fairway that should be marked as ground under repair (#2), and putting greens that were full of dead grass patches and dirt (all 3 greens). With that being said, the Director of Golf should highly consider closing the course for the remainder of the season and focus on getting it up to standards for the 2020 season. As for the 2019 season, do not waste your time or money here! The lack of maintenance shows and better value/quality of golfing experience exists elsewhere within the local area!

Different than its past
After finding the pro shop ( no signage) I was met by a very pleasant staff member. It was an easy check in and off to get a cart. Cart girl very nice who directed us to hole #1. What a joke. A par 3 hole that had chairlift wire obstruction in the air and magic carpet lift obstacles on the ground. The greens were in very poor condition throughout the front nine, with many fairways being less than desirable - ruts, very hard and lacking grass. The back nine is in much better condition but nothing like I remembered from years gone by. To pay full price would be outrageous and even the golfnow rate should be less for the condition of the course. Golfers you have been for warned.

Horseshoe Valley
Course is very scenic but looks neglected and under maintained.
Majority of tees, fairways and greens are in poor condition.
Only one other golfer was seen for the whole round.
We got lost between the 9th and 10th tees because of lack of direction/signage. Staff were not overly helpful in directing us.
Greens is rough shape
Most of the greens are in really bad shape. Lots of spots where grass isn’t growing. The sandpit was rock hard.
The course is surrounded by forest so if you veer off the fairway you probably aren’t finding your ball.
