Hockley Valley Resort

Somewhat like bondhead north or Black diamond, in that the chief feature is serious elevations, which is not neccessarily a great thing. It's cool, and awesome and the views are amazing, but as a golf experience, I'm not sure that that's the way to go. Sort of gimmicky in a way. But it's alot of fun. Went on a slow day, course was packed, and I thought it was going to be super slow, but the pace picked up and we finished in just over four hours. The greens are maniacal too, which is also fun but perhaps too much. Course could have used a good haircut and the greens seemed a little raggedy. We played for $25 on a hot deal which of course is amazing. You have to take a cart! The hills are ridiculous! Views are amazing. Had a great time, would definitely go again. Almost forgot, no sand bunkers, only grass bunkers, again, gimmicky, interesting.

Beautiful scenery and the course is very playable. Lots of opportunities to go for it and extreme elevation changes on par 3s make for interesting club selection. Definitely a course worth playing again.

great day, great Company, great weather, great price through golfnow. I'm glad I became a member of golfnow & I look forward to years of using this service.

thank you,

Great course and challenging layout. Absolutely brutal pace of play yesterday, 5:20. Unbearable, we were 20 minutes late for our second tee time in the afternoon. So of course no time to get anything to eat or drink. Figured we'd hit the halfway house (since of course there was no cart going around). Halfway house was closed; no food, no water, no beer, no gatorade. Ridiculous. They need to pay more attention to these details. Very bush league imho.

Just make sure you take everything you might want to consume and I guess you'll be fine. Really ruined a beautiful day.

It was a very beautiful course with some degree of difficulty even though there is no sand bunkers or water hazards. The challenges came with the curves and slopes in the fairways. Overall it is worth the money just to see the scenery of the course. The only problem with course was the past of play from the group of 4 in front of my friend and I but, It was an amazing looking course with beautiful views

played this course numerous times now. most recently played from the second set of tees. I shoot around 100 on most courses and play up on this course due to the difficulty of some holes. lots of elevation changes and tough meandering greens. my advice is to play up to achieve a couple pars. a tough course for women if they have trouble carrying distance off the tee.

The view from the tee's are beautiful, even from the middle of the fairway,, greens were great, tough course but highly enjoyable experience, recommenable

This is a great course if you are looking to challenge yourself a little bit. I have played this course before and had an excellent experience, however my most recent round was not a good experience for the two guest I brought to the course for the first time. It was the pace of play that ruined the day, it started out moving ok, but later in the round there would be at least two groups waiting on the tees to hit, and no marshal in sight to try to remedy the problem. Unfortunately it became such an issue that my guests decided to leave with two holes left, not a good end to the round.

Challenging course, no two holes alike. Calls for precision play as the fairways are narrow and the greens small with lots of hazards. The greens need attention to make them faster. Staff & food excellant. Seemed to be a lot of doubles going off for a busy time of day. Little to no visibility of marshals after T off. Fun course at the price that I paid!

Friendly staff. Challenging course for all handicaps.

Rated "overall facilities" average because I couldn't understand why washrooms were co-op though there were two of them side by side. Female point of view is that, there should never be co-op washrooms.

The course seemed like it was on last days of operations. Weeds in fairways, no starter or Marshall to be found anywhere. Not a sand trap to be found. Grass off fairways in rough shape.

Amazing views, excellent condition, very challenging.

Played today with my wife, joined into a 4some.

For a Saturday morning on a busy links course the pace of play was good. Very scenic and challenging. I would suggest this course to most skill levels, I'm a 17 handicap and if I could get another crack at this course I would jump at it. Some of the holes are played quite blind if you haven't played before or not playing with people that have.

Amenities around the course are excellent.

Fully enjoyed the course. Well maintained. Pace of play was a bit over 4.5 hours. Drive was far though, might consider stay and play next time.

The course was in decent shape overall, however the greens were a bit slow to say the least. I can't remember the hole but there is a par 3 that we had no idea that someone was on the tee and we drove directly in front of them. I would suggest a flag system indicating that someone is teeing off.... The hole was on the back. Other than that nice round of golf!

I would like to challege this course one more time or more. I've been playing GRA courses and hardest course ever played recelty. There are almost 18 holes hidden greens and narrow fairways so it requires accuracy. Thick rough and tall grasses killed my score this time. Greens are unreal.

The biggest challenge - Stay in the fairways. Be sure too carry a few extra balls.
Love playing Hockley Valley.
Will definitely play here again.
Having split hooves helps.
A rollercoaster of a ride.
Keep up the great work - a ton of work for the grounds keepers too have the coarse looking the way it does.
A must play this season. Thanks again.

Some really nice holes, every par 3 has an elevation factor so it was fun to play, it was a nice change and challenge on club selection. The pro shop charged me more than the price agreed on golf now but I didn't bring my print out. Would play again but on a weekday.

This is a beautiful, scenic course. The staff were excellent, from the pro shop to the starter, to the marshall, and the waitress after our game.

Fairways were very tight, and going into the rough was most likely a lost ball. They were a bit to narrow for my liking, and I'm an 11 handicap. There are may holes with a significant carry required off the tee, which was fine for me, but almost cruel for the novice golfers in the group.

Overall it was a great day, but I'd hesitate to take a newer golfer there. If you do go, take extra balls.
