First Time Playing

Very Good first impression

I finally got around to golfing this course. It was better than I expected, with mostly level holes, greens that were manageable, and only a few narrow fairways. It has it's fair share of bunkers and a few water hazards but none overly difficult. I'm looking forward to playing it again and to also try it's sister course, valley east.

Course is a friendly and comfortable layout. It is an ego booster and fun to play. The staff is very accommodating. I have played the East and the West many times and always enjoyed each round

Well kept

Nice long course. Many holes over 400 yards. You can see deer running around. Back 9 is newer. 3rd hole is tough since dogleg is early on. May need to cut down first few trees.

Stepping it up

Renovations and added features on the holes are a good touch. A lot of work being done around the club house is great to see- excited to see the end results. Disappointed the in county discount isn’t a little better.

Preakness In April

Speaking of the west course here - place is in great shape. They left it closed all winter and it shows. The rough is rough !!! Hit the fairway or be prepared for a penalty punch out. 1st cut is friendlier and greens are rolling true not fast but rolling smooth. I like this place and keep it in regular rotation. The golf shop staff can be a little rough around the edges sometimes and ya can get paired with a mixed bag of golfers but that’s public golf post pandemic. Live, love and play away. See you soon n the fairway. Golf now should pay green fees for reviews like this !
