The Golf Club at Copper Valley

I was shocked at the course condition, over watering very extreme and totally affecting what previously was one of the best quality courses in California in my opinion. I really hope they find a way to bring this course back to life before it’s too late. San traps need sand separately to cover undying material/cloth/cotton - I realize bunkers are expensive to maintain but it says so much about the greens keeping crew, almost like they are non-existent. It’s worth the $60 hot deal we paid for it, but I would much rather pay more to get the condition back to what it once was.

Please save this course, maybe start a Go Fund Me page.

I haven’t played this course in 10 years. Back then it was great. Now it’s a wildly inconsistent mess. The bunkers have little to no sand. The biggest problem…it’s overwatered to the point that every ball plugs in the middle of the fairway. If you take any divot it becomes a chunked shot. I heard a maintenance guy say they are having drainage issues. The grass near the greens is thick, overgrown, and puddles with water.

Several tee boxes from the tips are dirt with no grass. Same with many parts of fairways.

The 10th, 11th, and 18th holes have a terrible sewage smell.

The greens are nice but nothing like they were like before.

The driving range was depleted to the point of 10 balls in total across all stalls. When I was making the turn toward the 10th tee…the cart/starter guy yelled out to me that the range was closed. I wasn’t even going to the range.

If I could put money on it, I would say this course will be shut down within 5 years after the current post-pandemic golf craze is over. A hint to homeowners, sell while you are still ahead or get ready for some massive dues coming your way to keep this place open.

Golf shop - trying to charge $150 and see how it goes for you 👍

It's probably been 8 years since I've played here and it's not in as good of shape as prior. It's a fun layout and one of the best in the gold country foothills. There were 2 main problems: The bunker liners were exposed all over the place .. they need sand! and kikuyu grass has invaded lots of areas just off the fairways and it is about 4" deep so it was tough getting out of it. There are many areas in the fairways with no grass but they are working on it. Weekday rates are great .. Fri-Sun not so much.

Been here several times and everytime the course looks worse and worse, weed liners in bunkers are showing in almost every bunker… some bunkers have knee tall weeds growing. The greens were recently Aerated when we went this time but the holes were absolutely demolished… some of them wouldn’t even hold the flag up. Chris in the club house is great, wait staff and bartenders are great. The pizza on the turn and dinner after was great… the course is just looking rough… I would not pay $100 to play here.

Very fun course! Not real long but plenty of challenge! Staff & facilities very nice. Course condition was fair. Greens had been plugged recently so putting was very slow & bumpy. Many wet areas around the course. Hopefully next time greens will be running fast & true!

Had a good time all the same.

Beautiful day to play golf. Course was not in good shape because they had just sanded the greens the day before and they had just had a big thunder storm about 3 hours before we played. The fairways were really soft. Still had a good time

Even at high temp the course was in good condition overall. Some areas were over watered, but tee boxes and greens were great.

Great day in all the greens are fast and fairways very nice all around a great course some sprinkler under repair

The tee box, fairway, and greens were well maintained. I love that there was plenty of water on the course and things were laid out with a good flow.

The layout is great and the course has So much potential and so little attention to detail. The absolute worst bunkers I’ve ever seen. The black sub surface is completely coming apart. About a 1/10 of an inch of sand. Absurd to just let this fester as it ruins the appearance and feeling of what could be a special experience. The staff are everywhere like ants, but really lack in so many areas. They have no starter and people just do whatever they want. I had the first twilight time after a small tournament and pro shop did nothing about a foursome jumping in front of me. They let me pass after a few holes only to have another group drive past me and tee off in the hole in front of me. I call the pro shop and they act like I’m a jerk for complaining. Not worth the cost. Crossing this off my list of places to play

Love this course so much I played it two days in a row. My in laws live in the area and I pass by it so many times, I decided to finally play it. The amenities are amazing. The only course I’ve seen with ice chests on 1 and 10 to fill your cooler, ice water on almost every hole and the course itself is in fantastic shape. The bunkers are a little worn and the netting underneath shows but don’t hit into them and you won’t even notice.

A pretty easy course with a few water hazards to challenge you. Such a fun place to play.

I really enjoy making the 30 or so minute drive to play copper valley golf course, but for the price I am truly disappointed in how terrible the bunkers are in and it appears management could careless. A few weeks ago I played yochi course in woodland & I tell you copper valley should be ashamed to charge what they charge. Called at the turn to order some hot dogs & no answer & waited about 20 minutes for some undercooked hot dogs. Who manages this course?

1st time in 20 years playing the course, each hole had it's own identity, fair and challenging, course in great shape,

The course is awesome as far as fairways and greens go . The bunkers need help though I had to move my ball a few times in the bunker as my ball was caught in the felt paper sticking out of the bunker .

Course was great, staff was personable, and the food was good (and free for fathers). Pace of play was just right, as was the weather. No drink / food carts however.
