You deserve better

Staff is rude. Messed up the tee time. Yelled at me because he didn’t do his super hard job less than an hour ago. Fairways are tore up. Greens are tore up. Tee boxes… tore up. Bathrooms are even dirty. For the money go somewhere else. This is one of at least 6 other nicer and sometimes cheaper courses within a 30 minute radius. People I’ve talked to say they’re not renewing their memberships because of their dissatisfaction all the way up to the GM. You deserve better.

Cow pasture

Don’t waste your time coming here even on a hot deal. Looks like they haven’t cut the grass in the fairways this season yet. All the tea boxes of chewed up. The greens are decent but that’s it. I lost three balls and the fairway because the fairway grass is like 3 inches high. Oh and don’t worry about the roof that’s about 8 inches. Too bad a little maintenance and this would be a nice course

Reasonable Price

The cart path could use an upgrade and drainage could improved.

Don't go after it's rained. Course was like walking through a swamp all over. Some fairways had at least 4 inches of standing water.

Return to the Valley

Greens and fairways were good. Tee boxes were beat up badly. Signage was sparse. Very few ball cleaners. Still a good value because of decent prices.

Decent

Overall a pretty decent course. Semi-challenging layout, greens were in good condition as well as the fairways.

The previous reviewer‘s were correct in regards to very sparse yardage markers as well as golf cart paths conditions. It was much easier to drive on the grass then on the golf cart path as they had ruts and pretty sizable potholes. It caused major spillage of the coronas. Lol

Pay attention to reviews!

Paid $30 to play here. Many tee boxes weren’t even mowed. Some Tee signs were overcome by shrub growth. Layout was janky. pro shop Staff didn’t seem to know their job. Greens were fair and course was otherwise is decent condition but appeared not really cared for very well

$30 is the first point, as honestly and really playable course is worth $30. Having played here over the last 20 years I can tell you this review is off the mark, sometimes I think individuals are trying to chase people away to hog the hot deals, and almost anyone else will tell you the course is packed with paying paying $38 on Saturday and Sunday with no complaints.
