Surprised

9 holes were closed, yet no notification prior to tee off, was told to play open holes twice.. incredibly, no discount on the rate. $60 a little rich to walk 9. When I politely asked for fee reduction, was rebuked rather curtly, and told closed holes were posted online. Not true.. Don’t play here prior to April 1, as course not open fully.

It should be noted on GolfNow that the full 18 is not open and that we would be replaying holes.

Preakness adjusted

we were able to play on a very windy course. some of the early greens were still heavily sanded from aeration but most were in great shape.

Due to recent rain a section of the course was removed from play but we did get to play 10 holes twice (bonus golf!)

This course is always run very well as the Pro, Marty Vrybal is a great leader and makes sure everything is done properly

Early golf on blustery day

PV East is a nice layout for most golfers. Big hitters need to be able to control their shots to stay out of trouble and most of us find the layout very playable. Greens are in good shape for so early -- nothing is growing yet. Only the traps need work but it's easy to understand why they've not yet been groomed for the season. Obvious the county (it's a municipal) spends money on the place.

Good value

Bunkers weren’t maintained but I guess it’s still considered off season so no big deal. Just could’ve used some rakes though

Early season golf

Group in front of us...4 guys, 4 carts and by the second hole was a par 5 behind, by the 9th-2 holes open....spoke to the staff and they put a spark under them-they ended a hole behind, not much the staff could have done.
