Ron Jaworski's Valleybrook Country Club

Not the most interesting layout, greens much slower than I remembered/expected. LOTS of unfixed ball marks on the greens. Fairways and tee boxes in decent shape considering it's been blisteringly hot and dry this summer and I assume they get lots of play. Yellow range balls all over the place. We counted 14 on one fairway and quite a few on others. Haven't been there for a number of years but I'm glad they switched the nines. Tons of geese and their droppings. I play Westwood (and except for a few stupid 90 degree angled par 4's like it very much) a lot but thought I'd check out VB since I hadn't been there since before the pandemic. Similar level of difficulty but I think Westwood is better in every other way. A few other courses in the area are, in my opinion, better as well but probably not quite as good a value. I selected no for "recommend to a friend" but only because I think there are a number of better courses in the area. In my opinion, overall VB is OK, and just OK.

Nice layout, very nice staff and shot my career round of 72 at 76 years old. So, of course I liked it.

I didn't play. I arrived early checked in. The starter asked my tee time then ignored me until after my tee time and then I was offered to play 15 minutes after my tee time to join another group. So irritated I just left.

Played here for about 10 years now. Usually pace of play is an issue but not this time. Got done in under 4 hours. Conditions are good for the most part.

The play was very slow almost 5 hours. No marshals to push the groups along. The foursome in front of us was 2 holes behind after 13 holes

Haven’t played here in many years hasn’t appeared on Golf Now/pass since before Covid

It rained during the night nearly am l played it after noon was cart path only l have a troubled knee so

Became sore last few holes

I rated the coarse 4.5 stars

Will definitely play again if on GolfPass Thank you

Packed house, slow play. Not a good time. Won’t be back.

I played here a few times last summer but forgot about it. I decided to play this past weekend and regretted it immediately.

Holes 1-5 are fine. Hole 2 there are houses dangerously close just off the fairway to the right without a net. A slightly errant drive could hit a house easily, but mostly fine with holes 1-5.

Holes 6-10 are an absolute disaster. They all run parallel to each other. 6 is uphill, 7 back downhill, 8 uphill, 9 downhill, and 10 back uphill. Because they all run parallel, errant drives from all of the holes are flying all over the place. “FORE” is constantly being yelled. Not only that, but since there are hills blocking views of the group in front of you on all of these holes, you have to worry about getting hit by good drives from the group behind you, since they can’t see where you are. Several shots from the group behind us on this stretch of holes landed within feet of us, and I’m sure we put a couple of drives very close to the group in front of us accidentally. I have never been more stressed out in a 5 hole golf stretch. I constantly was hearing balls land all around me. It is dangerous.

Also, on number 9, there is a pond at the bottom of the hill that is not mentioned at all. Both me and my buddy hit drives that seemed perfect, but we realized that they both went in the water at the bottom of the hill. There really needs to be signage on the tee box telling you how far the pond is that you can’t see in the first place.

11-18 are again fine. Some weird holes but nothing crazy. But I will not play here again solely because of holes 6-10. Since all the shots are basically blind, it also constantly backs up here and makes the round at least 4.5 hours. They need to develop some system to mitigate the danger here, maybe a bell system, maybe mirrors, but something needs to be done.

I played here last year but forgot that I did so. I went back this weekend and remembered all the reasons why I do not like this course.

Holes 6-10 are my least favorite holes of any golf course I have ever played. They all run parallel to each other. 6 is uphill, 7 back down hill, 8 is uphill, 9 is downhill, and 10 is back uphill again. On each of these holes, you cannot see where your tee shot lands, and even worse, you cannot see where the group in front of you is when you shoot.

I have never been more stressed than I was when playing this stretch of holes. It is actually dangerous. The group behind us hit several of their drives a few feet from us as they thought we had cleared since they couldn't see, but we were just out of sight and blocked by the hill. I was worried about hitting in to the group ahead of us on my drives as well. Since they all run parallel, you have to be on alert for any sliced drives from other holes coming your way as well.

The 9th is a long par 5 but there is a pond at the bottom of the hill that they do not mention. Both me and my buddy put it into the pond unaware there was one there or how far away it was.

This stretch of holes is also constantly backed up because people are shooting too quickly behind you and also because no one can see where they are shooting. They NEED to come up with some sort of system alerting golfers on this stretch of holes when they can tee off without fear of hitting the group in front of them - maybe a bell system?

Holes 11-18 are fine, but I will not play here again because of that 6-10 stretch.

I played this course last year and forgot about it, but I went back this past weekend and remembered that it is definitely not my favorite.

Holes 6-10 are my least favorite stretch of holes of any golf course I have ever played. They all run parallel to each other. Hole 6 goes up hill, 7 back down hill, 8 back up hill, 9 down hill again, and then 10 back up hill. The hills block the view of where the group in front of you is, and it is extremely dangerous, as we were constantly having balls from the group behind us land within a few feet of us because they couldn't see that we were there. Because seemingly every shot is blind, it constantly backs up around this stretch. Hole 9 is a long par 5, but you can't use a driver, because there is a pond at the bottom of the hill that they don't tell you about and you have no idea how far it is from you.

That 5 hole stretch is some of the most stressful golf. You can't see where you are aiming due to the hills, you are constantly worried you are going to get hit by an errant shot or a tee shot from the group behind you, and you are nervous about hitting others with your tee shot. They need to develop some sort of system on these holes to let the group on the tee know when it is okay to shoot

Once you get to 11 the back 9 opens up and it is not bad, but I will never go back here just due to these 5 holes.

Some kid that just got hires thought he owed the whole place it was awful. The “pro” thier doesn’t know anything I got in then pro shot brought a beer he started to talk stuff. I don’t have iI said something back and everyone lost itThat is place is sad and congratulations on being pro you will get no where In life. That place sucks done go. Sad sad sad
