Beware You Get What You Pay For

Course was in OK condition. They must not water to often. Got behind a guy and looked like his grandson and they would not let our two some pass. Waited every hole for at least 5 minutes.

score of the deal for only seven dollars so what the heck wife and I played it on Friday the 13th and some rain nice track around the condos past for

Wife and I played this course Friday the 13th and with all my discounts on golf now and what not I only paid seven dollars can you believe that for two of us crazy but anyway this course is past his prime it’s a nice layout but conditions are kind of horrible wife only played the front nine. I played all 18 but yeah there’s needs to be a lot of work and a lot of money thrown into this place. It’s just not in great shape at all the layout is great but it’s a 50 year old Corson they let it go.

Like I said the course itself the layout is very nice all the length that you want but the greens tease fairways are just not good shape. Just put it that way politely, if you can score a good deal I would play it but unless they put some money into this course I don’t see it holding on the hotel itself. It’s not very busy either but I could tell the pro came in at 9:15 why we had the first teatime of the day at 9 o’clock, so what’s that show you

Needs a greenskeeper...applications welcome.

It was a nice weekend, the greens has not been cut or rolled. That surface was rough. Oh, and those "bucking" golf carts! This is not the Bay Valley of old.

Could be an absolutely awesome course if they took care of their greens and tees

This course has a beautiful lay out and nice scenery for being within the city. But the greens are absolutely fried dust comes off the greens when you chip up and no one seems to repair their ball marks. Tees are pretty beat up finding a level spot to hit from is rough. But the price is fair and the location is convenient I’ll return, just wish they would fix their greens and tees

Not what it used to be

Bay Valley used to be a beautiful and well maintained course. It’s in a lot better shape than last year but it still needs help. A lot of the bunkers have stuff growing in them and the greens have a lot of dead spots. For $25 it’s a good deal, but wouldn’t pay more than that to play it. The layout will always be a favorite of mine

Can never get a tee time here

I’ve called all throughout the golf season to play here and the guy who works there says they either have something going on or doesn’t answer the phone. Claimed one time that he had an outing going out at 4pm on a Wednesday. I’ll be taking my business somewhere else what a joke.

Great layout and Value, but Lost the Greens recently

We like this challenging layout, love the price and staff but the greens have developed several spots that look like fungus or rot. Had to move balls right and left on greens to avoid putting through the pot holes. We hope its temporary because we really do like this place, but not with those greens. sorry Bay. Valley, may not be back for awhile.
