Paradise Valley Golf & Country Club

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.

Great course. The front nine plays very quickly and while the back is a little longer. Greens were well manicured and quick. The tee boxes needed some leveling and work overall.
Thank you for a great morning Paradise Valley.

Course was in horrible shape, but for the price I guess you "get what you pay for"

This course is what I call a 'fill in' course. This is somewhere you play only when your favorite courses are booked and/or you can't find a good deal anywhere else. Every course does become 'worth it' at some price point and this one is around $20-25 for PEAK times.

The course layout isn't terrible, the trees are mature and can offer some challenging holes/shots. It's a par 70 with the front being a little shorter, more par threes and you won't need a driver on more than 2-3 holes. The back is much more challenging and has more distance. Most tee boxes and bunkers need a lot of work/grass, but the greens & fairways are in decent shape.

The facilities appear to have not had a dime invested in them since perhaps the Reagan era. The upstairs bar/restaurant has a bit of a stale odor to it and at night could probably host a wake. There's plenty of potential though if they'd start over -- but I guess they are hoping people ignore the lack of investment and feel like they might be at bushwood from caddyshack. Also don't expect too much from the staff. They obviously have driven by nicer courses and see how life 'could be'.

All that said, it's a good course if you can play for cheap. Perhaps a great course for kids to learn? I wouldn't drive too far to play it though.

Course was wide open with limited number of players. Great price from a hot deal. Greens were in great shape. Fairways were well maintained. We plan to return soon.

This is a great place to play after noon on a week day. My wife and I played on a Monday and had the course to ourselves and only let one single go through. The course is in good shape with great greens.

Well maintained with significant degree of difficulty, especially the back 9.
Lots of duffers as am I, but I was a single and they were kind enough to let me through.
This is a shot makers course as fairways are narrow and greens are not large.
I'm 69 years old and will play again.
Time to play 4 hrs
Score 87, from whites.

Fairways and greens were in good shape but most of the tee boxes were rough. Starter/pro shop worker allowed us to start on the back nine to avoid league golfers when making the turn, which allowed us to complete our round in less than 4 hrs.

last minute decision .teamed up with 2 nice gentlemen who could ay better than i can but i enjoyed their company

Course was fun but most of the par 3 t boxes didn't have any grass on them and because of recent rains they were just mud.

They let a league out on 10 while people were making the turn and 1 was wide open... Food was a poor selection and tasted funny. Course was ok. Holes need to be refined and pin placement was questionable. Won't come back.

My buddy and I played here because it was reasonably priced. We weren't impressed with the condition of the course though and both agreed we would probably never be back.

We booked through GolfNow.com (I think) and got a deal for $28/person for 18 and a cart. Never played, but it was close and worth a shot. The staff were great and the course was in decent (but not great) condition (mostly due to recent cold weather in STL). We really enjoyed it; the only thing that would've made it better would've been a faster pace of play. We were playing a best ball format (2 teams of 2), so we moved pretty quickly, but there was a group two groups ahead of us who really gummed up the works for everyone. They let the group ahead of us play through, then a couple of holes later they waved us through. Once we got past, everything opened up. Not much you can do about that, so it's hard to hold it against the course. The one thing that the course could do better is mark yardage; often times, the cards were no where close to what was listed on the hole signs (or the sprinklers near the tees; sometimes being off as much as 40 yds). It's hard to gauge distance when you've never played the course.

Overall, great experience. Will definitely recommend and play again.
