Fantasy Valley Golf Course

I wouldn’t pay that much to play this course again. The course had potential but was not maintained well. Some kind of fungus on the greens made putting a joke. WAAAAAYYYYYY over priced for the course conditions. I wouldn’t play it again unless they hired more people to take care of this course. Hale Irwin would be disappointed .

This golf course is garbage! And they charges a ridiculous amount to play. I was blown away. Some type of fungal disease on the greens. Poor maintenance. It was garbage. I’ll never play there again

This was our first time playing this course and will definitely be the last.

First, the good:

-We were a twosome, and the pro shop manager asked the two foursomes in front of us to start the day if we could go first, and they graciously obliged.

-There are a few holes on the back 9 that have great design, and were marginally kept.

-That's pretty much it.

The bad:

-The first 5 holes were borderline unplayable - tall grass within 4-5 feet of each fairway, all extremely narrow.

-After 6, it opens up some, and the back 9 is more playable, but still in rough shape. Majority of the course was just awful.

-You could tell this course may have been decent 10-15 years ago, but it's been completely let go.

-There wasn't a trace of sand in the bunkers, nothing but rocks.

-Most greens had weeds and bare spots.

I wouldn't have been upset had I paid $20 to play, but $80+? What a ripoff. We have no interest playing this course again.

Enjoyed the course a lot. Did not have to wait at all as a two-some. The sand traps are in poor shape, but the rest of the course is in great condition.

Very very average municipal like course that is some what poorly maintained. Layout is bizarre. It is not what you hope to get for around $80 a round. That plus a total lack of amenities isn’t worth a positive review. Some nice views of the landscape would be a positive for this course.

The course was in poor condition and surely not worth the $90 they charged. I wouldn't pay $25 for a course in the condition it was in. Looks like they are hardly taking care of it and its tough to figure out what is fairway and rough. The bunkers haven't been touched in years and we considered them ground under repair. Stay away.

Course was in okay shape. Fairways were hairy with some tall grass. Rough could be mowed more, even at the same length, maybe just against the grain once every one or two weeks. Tee boxes are very uneven. Bunkers on the front 9 are in very poor shape. Seems like most of the attention is on lodestone. The layout has serious potential. The course was either really nice at one point or could be with some work. For the price, there is no reason it shouldn’t be in better shape. The front 9 is far more difficult due to tight fairways and could really set the tone if it was in better shape. Back 9 is far more friendly for average golfers but still suffers the same maintenance issues.

Read recent reviews and was pleasantly surprised. The greens were in good shape. The fairways weren't bad either. The bunkers lacked sand but for the $35 greens fee, it was a decent course

The course is nice but for the price you would expect more. The bunkers are untended. Some had exposed corrugated pipes and grass growing. Had to play them as ground under repair. The greens had huge dead spots around the aprons. They ruined the layout when they eliminated some of the nicest holes and added a par 3 from the fairway of an old par 4.

Love the course. The sand traps are in poor condition and need work. Some of the holes with water had too many geese. The goose droppings were everywhere, on the greens, fairways, tees and actually the roughs. That was a problem on about 5 holes. They need to get rid of the critters somehow. They are more than an annoyance.

This course could be nice, but poorly maintained and odd design. There was no driving range or putting green to practice,. We went off at 8:10 in the fog. Played the first hole with no visibility and the 2nd wasn’t much better. it was crazy wet. Fairways have some issues and if you end up in the rough forget finding your ball. Hole 16 was very odd. With water twice.The gas carts with no gps were noisy smelly and not great. The fairways were like rough and the first cut on the putting greens were like fairways .We we’re disappointed. Not worth the cost.

The staff is very polite which made the experience a little better. The course has a decent layout but needs some serious work. Bunkers are dirt and the whole course is burnt out. Definitely not worth $70.

More of a muni trying to pass itself off as an elite resort course. “Clubhouse” is in a hut they convert from the ski season. There is no putting green or driving range. Course basically caters to families that are staying at the Wisp Resort. Most clearly don’t play golf regularly. There was literally 4 groups on the par 5 first hole b/c the foursome on the green had apparently never played golf before; was determined to find EVERY ball they shanked into the weeds and backed everyone else up. None of the bunkers were raked and weeds had overgrown portions of the course. Given all factors, I’d recommend driving 15 minutes to play in Oakland or pay an extra $20 and play at Lodestone.

I played the course 20 years ago as it was originally designed and it was in good condition and challenging but worth playing. It is a true tragedy what they have done to this course with adding new holes but taking away the best ones and turning it into a strange layout with three par fives and three par threes on the front nine and a part 34 on the back nine. The first nine does not return to the clubhouse tent. There’s no water on the course to drink no card girl or bathrooms. The sand traps were in horrible condition and look like they had never been attended to. The only good thing was the pace of play since there were no other people playing the course.

Get layout, Friendly staff, tough but fair course with good greens!

If they would ever rework the sand traps and put sand in them. The course would be 1st class. It definitely would out class Rocky Gap.

The staff were very friendly and accommodating. I love the layout they have some really scenic holes. I usually play this course once a year. Always the same time of year however the conditions weren't all that great. The tee boxes needed to be cut and the fairways as well. Plus none of the sand traps had any sand, just hard packed mud. Perhaps a few of them were washed out. A little too pricey for a resort course in my opinion. However my son and I still had a great time making memories. We made this a tradition so I'm sure we'll play it next year.
