Bay Valley Hotel & Resort

Several holes can get you in trouble with the driver, but the course is just long enough to force you to use it. Several greens had rough/dry patches.

Very nice course for the money. Well manitained. Staff was friendly.

People in the area know this course as the gem that has gone downhill through the years, that is no longer what it will be known as. The new grounds keeper is taking special care of the course. A lot of the trees have been trimmed to allow better views of the course and also no lost balls under the untrimmed pines. Fairways were of professional quality and the greens are fast enough to challenge but not so fast to break your spirits. Great golf indeed!

Our group was having a nice round until the ranger started follow us around and telling us that we were playing too slow. Come to find out he just wanted to make sure it wasn't going to be slow for his tee time. We saw him teeing off as we finished. We played with a steady pace and only stopped for the very friendly beverage cart lady. Nothing ruins a good round more than being rushed for no reason.

My very first impression was not that great as the man working the pro shop seemed a little unfriendly and somewhat rude but when we went out to the cart area the man working there was great. Once we got the go ahead to golf this same man came up to us asking if this was our first time and when we said yes he gave us a course layout book and some very helpful tips all the while smiling and laughing with us, this is the kind of person that will bring us back there. We also met a ranger on hole two that came up and spent a few minutes talking about the course and the next few holes and how they would be a challenge and he was dead on, thank you for the tips. The course itself was in great shape, the greens did have some kill off on them but that in no way made the day bad, the place was very fun to golf at I had a great round and will be back.

Nice course but the greens were some what ruff. the wildlife was great. Lost some balls in the water hazards. Will play the course again.

It was a very pleasing round, an play was at a good pace for play. Very enjoyable.

Golf now rate was $25 for 18 and a cart. Good value. Course has many good holes.

We enjoyed playing here and were treated very nicely by the pro shop & ranger. You can get into trouble on this course if you aren't careful if you don't keep it in the middle. It was in good shape and we would play here again.

Everything was great..No questions about golf now hot deal have me receipt and said have fun.. great bar for a few beverages after the round

The staff here was great and so was the course. Being new to golf, we've only played a few courses in Michigan but this is so far, one of our favorites. We will definitely be back. The grounds were in good shape and everyone was there to have a good time.

While not the best in terms of course conditions, I can't think of a better, more challenging layout than Bay Valley. The ability to move the ball in both directions in essential. Forced carries, lots of water and well placed bunkers.

This is a great value for the money. Late in the year this course can get tore up fairly badly...but this time of the year it's in great condition! Weather was perfect!

The greens are always in great shape and the staff is super friendly. For a real challenge, play this course from the Blacks!

Close to town, little wet with recent rain, convenient bathrooms and snack/beverage cart, nice greens despite rain

I had heard this course was exceptional from friends and family thru the years. However, I thought this course was just average despite playing just after heavy rains. Bunkers had medium sized rocks and not enough sand. Greens did not roll true with some extreme bumps in them. It was difficult to obtain food fast for the turn. Had to go eat in bar which took a while even tho there were only a few other people. Overall facilities were dingy and falling apart. Bathrooms for players on course were portajohns. Not impressed with course.

We enjoy golfing at Bay Valley. Some challenges but who doesn't love a challenge. Great course and well maintained. We will be back.

I played late in the afternoon in early November. It gets dark quick especially on a cloudy day. I got the feeling that the people servicing the course were there to make my time enjoyable. I thought that they might want to be home with their family, rather than service a crasy late day golfer. And the course was in very good condition.

It rained we were able to play 3 holes. The three holes played were challenging. I can't wait for a good day to play this course because from driving back to the club house we sawa great challenge.

Course in good shape, had fun and eagled #14. Good day.

Had a great time playing the course this past Sunday. Conditions were great and the staff was very helpful.
