The pace of play of horrible
The overall of the course was alright besides the hard sand and tea boxes. Had to take a wedge to pound in my tee and it took 6 hours to do 18! Had a group of 8 and a group of 4 in front of us taking their sweet time. The group of 4 were a scramble team but man they were super slow and no one beside their female teammate could hit the ball straight.
Overall tho might comeback on a week day or something. The layout is nice and a place to not take serious.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize for any inconvenience you experienced due to the hard sand and tea boxes, as well as the slower pace of play caused by the groups in front of you. We appreciate your feedback and hope you will consider visiting us again on a weekday for a more enjoyable experience.
I will never play here again.
Lots of comments about "rude employees" in these reviews. YEP. I had 8 people trying to play here Tuesday, June 27, 2023. I called and made the reservation, and was told there were leagues that day, but as long as we had reservations before 2:00 we would be able to play 18 holes. I even called a second time (different day, different employee answering the phone I think) since my people were making a big effort to get together to play. "We will be able to play 18 holes with the 1:48 and 1:57 tee times we have?" "Yes, no problem". So we get there on the actual day and the girl at the bar (where we are supposed to pay for our greens fees... bad sign!) says "Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but you can only play nine holes". After many of my friends drove an hour to get there! Then we ask if we can play one nine twice, since we're trying to get our "event" in, she says maybe, but she needs to ask the "Manager". She brings this guy out and he must be the rude person people are talking about (or the leader of many of these types). I tell him what I wrote above, and he says "Our staff didn't say that". And I'm like "Do you think I'm hearing things, or making this up?" He says "A lot of people claim our staff has said things they never said". OH MY GOODNESS. Nice response. So I'm either insane or a liar, right? Anyhow, the guy is completely non-accommodating. Not concerned about our plight at all. So we booked somewhere else on 6/27/23.
BUT, I have played there before many times.
Here are some reasons you might want to play Valley Ridge Golf Course:
* Fun layout at a reasonable price.
* You like the jeans-wearing sort of crowd, with no judgement (in fact laughter) on bad shots.
* You want to be in a league made up of this sort of person.
Here are the reasons I'm never playing there again:
* Because I TOLD the "Manager" we would never be coming back if he didn't try to help us. He didn't care.
* Extremely slow pace quite often.
* Extremely dry/poor conditions often.
* The course is set up to make money from these "good old boy" golfers who aren't anything close to good golfers. Now I certainly hit my share of bad shots, but as the saying goes, "Play well, play fast. Play poorly, play faster". The golfers at Valley Ridge do NOT follow this credo.
We apologize for the negative experience you had with our staff regarding your reservation and the miscommunication that occurred. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and we will address the issue to ensure better service in the future. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.

Valley Ridge
Friendly staff
Poor signage in multiple locations
Be careful playing here, several holes are lined up next to each other, making it common for other groups to be hitting in your fairway.

Valley Ridge…
Beautiful scenery and challenging holes. Course could use a good watering. Tee boxes hard! Hammer in tees. We are in a drought-worth mentioning. No cart person (concessions) on course. And no starter nor ranger/s/.
Noted single sand doubles playing. Yet overall pace of play wasn’t bad! Definitely wil play again!👍

Hole locations
One way to improve the experience would be to put a map of how to get to the next hole on the score card. Especially #17.
Had a great time. Beautiful area.
Valley Ridge Golf Course, Antioch, IL
Course has a strange layout located in a subdivision with cart paths going thru different neighborhoods and crossing streets to tee off, weird.
