Hopewell Valley Golf & Country Club

The greens are in terrific shape & the fairways are nice as well. A number of tees are a little barren but you can see the effort and money that Mercer county has been putting into the course.

I played here a few times last year - but this was the first time this year. It is in very poor condition, tee boxes as baked out - rough is ... just matted down - crabgrass abundant. The only thick lush areas were where you generally are not playing from. Fairways - pretty rough, poorly maintained and in many placed damaged by improper cutting and operations (tire marks).

Normally this would be how a course looks when you have a very bad summer weather for grass - but none of the other courses around are near this bad.

Greens were OK - but too many disrespectful golfers - to just tear them up. (Also a low price issue?)

This is a very walkable course - but no water on the course anywhere. The refreshment cart was just parked by the 8th green, just snacks. The food shack at the turn - both bathrooms closed, the shack seemed open, the hot-dog roller was running with no dogs, window open, lights on, no one in site. (?)

I would prefer to pay $15 more ( ~$60) and have better conditions.

Good pace of play, albeit it was on a midday Thursday. Open fairways with just a few trees makes it hard to lose your drive. The greens were super fast and always at an angle so 3 putts are quite possible. Some buildings are worn down. The rest room is embarrassing. Anything to do with the people though was excellent, from the pro shop, starter, restaurant and 'beer cart' were all friendly and on the ball. I'll be back.

Hopewell Valley has a variety of holes. Not many have the same look. Course was in very good shape. Played here a half dozen times in the past 4 years.

Overall the course was in really good condition, except for the tee boxes. Most of the tee boxes had no grass, and were extremely hard. Needed a hammer to get a tee on the 18th tee box. Others in the group broke tees trying to get them in the ground.

A round of golf for Dad and Son. First time playing Hopewell. It’s not a particularly challenging course. We played the blues, and I shot mid 80s. That about what I would shoot from the whites at Makefield, for reference. The course is tighter on some fairways, and almost every green is small. This does of course add some welcome challenge to the course.

Cart was $17 per person. That was one gripe. No Jr rate.

Some of the tea boxes need work. Greens were extremely slow.

Tee boxes were void of grass and rock solid. 18 you couldn’t get a tee in the ground.

Solid course for the price. The greens are well kept but the fairways and rough are pretty beat up. Would play again for how cheap it is.

Cause has a tight layout. Tight - meaning holes close in proximity to each other. As a public course, wear a hard hat. Found tee boxes a bit ratty and in need of turf work. One thing staff was friendly, and plenty of cart service on course.

Enjoyed my first time at HV. A few of the tee boxes were in rough shape but otherwise the course held up nice for the middle of a heatwave. Some picturesque holes on the back and a few fun strategic holes throughout. The staff is very welcoming and the pace of play moved along well for a Friday afternoon.

spongy and extremely slow greens. Minimal amount of rakes. Maybe 3 ball washers all 18 holes. No towels. Out of Gatorade and some sodas on a hot day...Bill C.

Keep an eye on the prices, as they will change. $43.00 to walk on a Saturday morning is not bad at all here. The layout is fine, nothing flashy. Decent shape, but one thing that needs to be taken care of is trimming off a few trees, and removal of older, and some dead trees. Decent place.
