Paradise Valley Golf & Country Club

I've played this course a couple times a season over the past 3 years. Although I keep leaving disappointed, I believe this course has potential. The location and course layout is great, although the maintenance and upkeep on the course is less than par. They've had water hazard project on the 17th hole that has been ongoing for the past couple years without completion. With that being said your shooting around an odd hazard of a half empty pond and 3 foot excavated dirt on the sides.

Today was dry with a only 2 fairways potentially wet from the rains from last week causing a cart path only rule that not only my group was left in confusion about.

The greens are good, on the weekends they offer an outdoor grill that's good as well.

The area has just been hammered with rain of late.

The play was cart path only. So, play was a bit slow. However, the greens were in great condition. Not much roll our in the fairways. So, everything played almost a club farther than the yardage showed.

One note, the GPS reading on the first hole always reads farther than it is. I got readings of 160 when I had to be more like 130. Otherwise my readings seem to line up well with the course markings.

Staff was very pleasant; had a good time.

I saw the reviews for this course and it seemed like a good idea. Around $30 for a nice afternoon to golf. Let me tell you when I say I regretted the whole thing. First couple of tee boxes had literally just about 3 patches of grass. I know that the grass has been struggling this year, but there wasn't even evidence that grass was seeded. I would say 70% of my shots were hitting off of dirt in the middle of the fairway and the tee box. The only decent thing about the course was the greens which were in really good shape. But when I go to a par 3 and I have 0 grass to hit off of, that is definitely an issue. Plus the pace of place was extremely slow. We had a threesome in front of us playing 2 balls each and wouldn't let anyone play through. There was no one monitoring the pace of play and it showed. Definitely a beginner course and will not be returning. Way to much money for that kind of conditions.

Course management is working hard to improve conditions. Greens were In Very good shape, rough was filling in nice and some fairways may fill in by July. The course is very playable and an enjoyable layout.

Enjoyed the golf with nice weather but could tell weather had been hard on course. Zoysia fairways look ragged. heavy rains have washed out a bunch. Sand traps were hard. Many trees have been cut down and over seeding is much needed. Anxious to see it early June after some work is put into it. I've always liked the lay-out.

While the price was right for this time of year. the course conditions leave much to be desired. There are other better values for the buck in our area.

I truly enjoy the layout of this course. You can make your round challenging or moderate depending on how you play the course. Great value for the money. Greens were excellent today and the course was in very good condition, except for a few of the tee boxes.

Greens are in excellent shape for this time of year.

The staff here is always the best. Pretty good value and they are making strides to make this place better every time i play.

Greens rolled very well and this place can be quite a bit challenging from the back tees. Fairways are better than last time, but there are a number of trouble spots, same as a lot of STL courses this year.

Love playing here and this place is always fun gambling since you can take some chances on a number of holes.

Nice setting. Good value. Greens in good shape. Fairways cut too low. Fast round.

Second time playing this course this week and couldn’t finish 18 holes. Super slow pace with single walkers ahead of foursomes and threesomes. No one lets you play through and there is zero course management in this regard. If it were $15 or so it would be tolerable. But to pay $30 late in the day it is unacceptable and there are better options nearby where the course manages the pace more appropriately. Not worth the money due to this.

Don't waist your day with this poorly designed course, very slow play, no marshall to help things along. Friendly staff, can only work with what they have...which isn't much. Drop prices by a third and maybe there would be value.

Course overall was in pretty good shape for this time of year. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The only negative thing I could say about the course was the lack of yardage markers.

Course was pretty crowded. They paired up a single with our threesome. Threw my game off. Course hasn't greened up yet.

Played this course for the second time.

Not real long but challenging. Staff is very friendly.

Course was in good shape for April.

Worth playinf!!

I usually love this course and felt it offered good value until our recent visit. I realize it's difficult to expect course conditions to be good at this time of year. The tee boxes were barren and relatively little grass. Many areas of the fairways were similar. The greens were in fantastic shape and rolled very well. The staff are always very friendly at the course.

My concern comes from slow play, five-some's and no course marshaling. I would not expect a full staff presence at this stage of the season, although an occasional trip around the course would help to minimize slow play. We tried to finish 18, but 4 1/2 hours for 15 holes was plenty for us. We waited no less than 5 minutes on each hole and about the same for each shot to the green. This really disrupts my game and my spirit when I encounter this on a course.

I will have a hard time returning to play here again and that is disheartening. This is a fun course and usually good conditions.

Greens are in very good shape for this time of year. Can't wait for the fairways to green up. Could use some windshields on the carts though.

My new favorite course. Especially like the par 3's.
