Great Layout and Improved Conditions

One of my favorite courses. The layout is very scenic. Tree lined fairways require accurate tee shots but course is not long so there is no need to hit bombs. Each hole is unique, peaceful, and isolated. Large undulating greens were in excellent condition and are a fun challenge with subtle breaks.

Saw many deer and a couple of spotted bambis who paid little attention to the golfers. Seniors and ladies really like the short tees.

Course just completed an irrigation upgrade and is in much better condition than it has been in recent years. Many of the sand traps need work so best to stay out of them.

Friendly staff, decent course

The staff was friendly in the pro shop. The course was in decent shape. Some tee boxes were rough looking, but others were mowed nicely. The fairways were decent, but ground was hard but lots of bare spots. The greens were a bit disappointing considering they looked to be in pretty good shape, but were quite slow. The layout is nice and enjoyable. The pace of play was one of the worst I’ve ever seen. The back 9 took twice as long to play as the front. On the back 9, there was a several minute wait between shots at each hole. The course is apparently in much better shape than in previous years, but still needs quite a bit of work.

Enjoyable Course in Improved Shape

It was great to see the improved conditions of Doe Valley. The greens rolled perfectly. The fairways were in good shape and showed signs of getting better. Staff could not have been friendlier. I had not played the course for several years due to delcining conditions. But the staff is putting in the time and effort to make a beautiful course regain its enjoyable scenery with the wildlife that resides in the area. Looking forward to playing again soon.

Very poor condition

Go anywhere else. Had a light work day and decided to use my golf now app to sneak in a quick round. The hot deal made it seem like its worth a try. Even at $20 it's over priced. Only a few of the tees had grass and the fairways were in worse shape than a mowed goat pasture. Needless to say I called it quits without finishing my round. When I went into the Proshop and talked to the guy working inside he raved about how much better condition fairways were in than a few years back. Maybe its time he went and played a real golf course to see what he's missing

Much improved Doe Valley Golf Course

Doe Valley Golf Course has improved leaps and bounds this year. Staff is doing an excellent job. If you have not played here for a while I strongly urge you to come give it a chance. I think you will be very happy with the improvements.

It's come a long way

I've played this course since 2013 and can tell you that it is in a far better place than what some older reviewers mention. It was pretty bad back in 2015, but today it is 180° in a better direction. While not perfect, it is definitely worth checking out. The layout is challenging, the wildlife is enmeshed with the course (you will see deer, fox, and maybe even turkey during your round), and the level of maintenance has improved significantly, even since earlier this spring. Tees and bunkers are looking good, greens are rolling fast, and the fairways are drastically improved. If you haven't been on the course in awhile, give it a look; I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

Much improved

The rains have helped the fairways and greens fill in. They are very close to finishing the new watering system. I played last Tuesday for the first time in two weeks and couldn’t believe how much it had improved.

Course needs quite a bit of work on the fairways and greens. Need to cut grass on teeboxs, could barely get tee in ground without ball sitting on the grass. Not all holes were bad but some were almost impossible to putt on and fairways had to move the ball to some grass to hit off of

Absolutely Awful

I've played the course for the better part of 10 years now. The place is an absolute joke now. Nothing but weeds and tall grass on the tees and fairways. Will not be back, sad to see the place in such bad shape. Head pro and some of the staff not friendly as well. Pace of play was great...because no one was out there. Don't waste your money.

Tee Time delayed hour by 120 Man Golf Tourney, Surprise!:)

I had a 3:10 Tee Time and showed up at 3 PM and the entire Parking Lot was Full! They forgot to mention to Golf Now that they had a 120 person Tournament going on when I booked my Tee Time! I was not the only golf now member tricked by this. There was a foursome on the 1st green, foursome in fairway, two foursomes waiting to tee off and the golf pro said that I could tee off with another golf now member after everyone else! No offer to go off back nine, or raincheck, looking at 6+ hour round with 3.5 hours of daylight left! Very dismissive attitude. I drove an hour down here to wait an hour to tee off. When I walked in the clubhouse they actually laughed at me when I said I had a Golf Now Reservation. I do enjoy this course and played it several times but I will never go back there again.
Most courses close when they have a tournament, right? They at least could tell you about that before you book.

A lot of different types of holes, fun to play, challenging enough to make it worth the trip for sure!

Course is in pretty good shape, fun to play. Didn't lose very many balls but if u don't stay straight on a lot of the holes, u will be diggin in your bag for balls all day! Somewhat challenging for sure, the mixture of all different types of holes makes it a good golfing experience. I will be back!

Going back tomorrow!

Many challenging holes with the rolling hills and tree-lined fairways. Easily navigated with directional signs. There had been several course improvements since playing there n 2011. Staff were very friendly and engaged in lighthearted conversation. Made you feel part of their little family.

Electric golf carts made the hills easy to climb. Great hotdogs at the 19th Hole.
