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.

valley golfing

As a beginner (or at least infrequent golfer) I found the course challenging. It is fairly long and there's alot of uphill climbing so I wouldn't recommend walking it. Great views and a pleasure to play.

Hectic Horseshoe

Great course u pretty much cant go wrong here for $50. The course is deceptively short in that it plays much longer than the 5700 yard back tees. This is for 2 reasons,one is that it is a par 70 and the other reason is that the Fairways are extremely narrow with Outback waiting for you on either side. They send you a break though most of what would normally be unplayables, lost balls and out of bounds has been mercifully red staked. There on June 22nd it was absolutely PACKED (not the course the resort) for a Junior tournament qualifier and a Bike cross. No matter though after the first hole you find yourself is splendid isolation occasionally thinking you should have brought Bear Mace

Great day at Horeshoe!

We got the 18 holes and cart for a very reasonable rate on golf now., staff at the desk treated us great and there were only a few others around our tee time! the course was in excellent condition , maintained at a high level, we spread out quickly behind the other golfers and our pace was super! fantastic views from some of the tee boxes on a really sunny morning, Excellent golfing experience!

Would be 4 to 5 stars but...

Would be 4 to 5 stars if the conditions were consistent. There were fairways that are hard as a rock and some are normal.

A Great day out with my Dad

My Dad and I golfed this course this past fathers day weekend. And where treated to some of the best views I have ever seen with a club in my hand.

Overall a great experience and I would defiantly play here again. I would just bring a few extra balls. As the 12th swallowed a few.

A challenging course

The Valley Course at Horseshoe is a beautiful and challenging course wit a lot of elevation changes and some narrow fairways. It is a beautiful course going through the Copland forest area with lovely scenery along with a great course.

Beautiful but unfair!!

It's a short but very difficult golf course. Playing from the back tees requires the ability to either shape shots or hit the ball onto incredibly small landing areas. The course is very very narrow and on most holes there is no forgiveness off the tee. If you are offline, you are in the woods and little chance of finding your ball.

The greens were very firm and hitting a solid shot would most often result in a huge bounce right off the green. Also I believe some of the posted yardages are incorrect but I didn't have a range finder to be sure.

All that being said it is one of the more scenic courses in the area. Each hole seems to be cut out of the forest. We even saw a deer!

It's worth a play just to check it out but I wouldn't get a membership!

Challenging and scenic

Course is very challenging as narrow fairways on every hole. Might want to put away the driver on most holes unless you can hit it straight. Course in great condition and nice views.

Great front nine !

Great front nine. Second holes is very pretty long par 5. I was told that the front nine is the newer curse built about 10 years ago. This course used to be only 9 holes. Back nine is among the house but not in play. Greens were running about 9 to 9.5 and true. Staff were really nice and accommodating. Good value for the money . I would recommend this course to anyone.

Nice course, very Fast greens

Had a great time playing this fairly challenging course. Layout is a little more forgiving than the Valley course (I played Highlands), but the greens are LIGHTNING quick - many chips and putts ran out on all of us. But still was a great time. I managed to get a super hot deal ($26 including cart) and was well worth that price.

Great value at $29 from Gold Now.

The course is challenging especially the greens. You may be pulling your hair out at times. Sand in the traps was like clay.
