Nice course

Very nice and challenging. Play it from the back to get the full experience. I am not from around here and don't have any other course to compare it against. But a challenging course on the back 9 for sure.

Good course

Good course, but pairing randoms in the same cart is a joke at this price. Staff acted surprised when questioned on it.

Especially when there were 20 sitting out not being used.

Nice course but slow play

I like the layout of Orchard valley. It has some fun holes with forced carry . The greens are nice. My only issue with this course is the pace of play. When I last played the course it was about half full with three foursomes waiting to tee off. I asked the starter why it was so packed he replied “ it’s not the course is just full” (it was not full no one was on the back. I asked him did he have a full tee sheet in a few hours he said. No but would still not let me go off the back. So I slogged through a slow 4 1/2 hour round when it could have been 3 hours.

I will only vist this course off peak due to the lack of course management

Nice course slow play

Orchard valley is a nice course to play but it normally a slow round. Not exactly sure why I played last week in 50F weather and not to many people on the course but starter had three groups waiting to tee off 10 min prior to my tee time. I asked why it was backup he replied it’s not course is full. It was not full. I asked to go off the back he said no back was almost empty so I had to join a threesome of high handicappers and slug through a 4+ hour round when I could have played the back and joined a group on the front and finished in under 3’hours. It’s a nice course but don’t expect to get threw it in under 4’hours

I will limit when I play here due to slow pace of play
