Paradise Valley Golf & Country Club

I played 18 holes from the tips on this beautifully golf course which is a good value for a public course. Lovely setting. It was a fun course to play and I'm glad I chose to play here today. I will return to play it again later this summer. The greens were in great shape but slow; I had a hard time adjusting to them, though. From the back tees it plays at about 6,100 yards. All that being said, one caveat: apparently there is a shortage of mowers for the bermuda grass fairways. I couldn't tell when looking down the fairway from the tee box where the fairways ended and the rough began. The bermuda grass seed stems were sticking up about two inches in the middle of the fairways, costing loss of roll out after ball lands and who knows what effect on shots from the fairway. The fairways would be fine if they were mowed more often. Maybe the bermuda grass is in some rapid growth cycle right now, but still, they need to mow more often. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt--maybe the mower guys were sick or didn't show up the last day or two. Golfers should not expect fairways to be what they normally play on. There are a lot of beautiful trees but not a lot bunkers nor much water. Holes 12 and 13 were a lot of fun with the high elevations. Just don't get lost trying to find number 12 tee like I did, LOL.

We love playing this course, when they have promotional rates. It has a decent combination of sand and water to keep things interesting. It was a beautiful day and the course traffic reflected this beauty. Nice little snack bar and great Pro Shop in the clubhouse.

Early in the year but tee boxes are in bad shape. Fairways and greens decent

Still a bit early in the season, so the course was still coming around. Tee boxes were kind of rough, fairways were OK, but greens were pretty good. Staff was friendly and helpful. Not a very long or difficult course, but enough elevation changes and angles to be interesting. Great value, especially some of the GN hot deals. I'd definitely play again.

The course was not real long. The front 9 was wide open and you can score well. The back 9 was cut out of the woods and was considerably tighter but very scenic. They had a name for each hole which kind of fun figuring out what they meant: "Revenge", "improbable" and "postage stamp" we're some of the names. Greens were in good shape but fairways hadn't quite greened up yet but still not bad for early in the year. Staff was really friendly and made you feel welcome.

Worth a look!

Course was in good condition although windy and cold shot my best round of the year

Great for Golfers of all levels. Staff is very friendly. Front nine is a nice confidence booster. Back nine is a challenge! Course is well kept and maintained,

The course was in very decent condition for the time of year. It was a little difficult to locate balls with all the leaves on the ground, which the maintenance crew were working on as we played. Fairways were very short and the grass was dormant. Rough areas were a little long, but very playable. Greens were in very good shape, although they played slow.

The back nine was very enjoyable and played like one of the professional courses! Will definitely be back next Spring!

I have played here before and it is a very pretty course in a nice location. Not a complex course as it is pretty short with some par 4s where you can easily drive the green, but has a couple of great holes on the back 9. The standard price is way too expensive though for the quality of the course, and I would only ever play here with the GolfNow prices. A nice course if you can play for around $20-$25, not for the standard $40 weekend rate. Oh and they have the gas powered carts which are very annoying :0)

i played here about 10 years ago and I'd say it's improved since then. It's nothing special but worth playing. Tee boxes are the biggest issue but fairways and greens aren't bad. They have a driving range, bar, and decent pro shop. I'll go back but it's not at the top of my list for the cost. Great for beginners.

The front nine was totally different from the back.

The front fairways were under repair. THe back was great. Will play the course again

It's the heat of summer so I can't be too picky, plus the price was right at 22.50 for 18 holes and a cart. I'll organize into areas of each hole:

Tee boxes: played the blues and in most cases it was difficult to find grass, where there was grass it was not great.

Fairways: under repair, few strips gone from a couple of the fairways, lots of dirt, but ok considering the weather conditions in St. Louis.

Rough: well maintained and appropriate thickness for amateurs

Greens: pretty good shape for the most part, some burnt sections, but rolled (didn't bounce) fairly true and relatively quick.

Overall: the course is fun to play, it's short and par is 70 so even if you shoot high scores you'll be able to tell your buddies your score. Every hole is different so you get to play lots of different shots with different clubs. If you are a good golfer you can go really low here, which I think makes your day more enjoyable.

Most t-boxes had no grass on them, mud and a few weeds, so it was easy to slip on them and I don't prefer to hit my driver in mud, my golf towel was extra muddy and it had not rained. It was a slightly discounted rate by $2, and I had not played on it for 10 years, doubt I would come back again. There are too many others that are in mint condition for the same price or lower, we have had a lot of rain so no burn outs, just conditions not very good. It wasn't crowed for sure which made sense. It was a convenient location but I'll drive farther next time, I enjoy my golf too much to be aggravated. I hope this is constructive because I am not trying to be unfair. Patti

This is a great course greens and fairways are fast and in great shape I will buy this course again

Given the rough weather in STL I expected the course to not be in great shape but it was in really, really bad shape. So much so that I can't believe they can charge their normal rates. I do not feel we got what we paid for.

I am a weekend player high score and all. I have played this course before and will continue to do so. even players of my caliper will love to plat this course!!!!!

Course was pretty neat up and not well taken care of.

Course could have been in better shape, especially the tee boxes. Pace on a Saturday afternoon was really good, and the price was right.

The greens were in good shape, but the fairways are very thin. Not a great deal of grass in the fairways. ..

Aso, the tee boxes were rock hard. Tough getting tees in.

Wide fairways greens in good shape all the rain made for some rough spots in fairways but overall in
Pretty good shape .
Front nine is easier to score on than the back which seems to play longer.
