Pace issue
Ended up waiting 20-30 minutes per hole, grounds crew mowing mid day during rush and wouldn’t get off the hole when people tried to play, 5 groups on one hole through 3 holes before we finally just gave up.
Challenging yet fun
First time on this course but the other three in our group played here previously and they all said the course was making significant improvements. Don't let the naysayers sway you from experiencing it. Seeing is believing. Some holes were real challenging, others were friendly but all were unique, i.e. scenic course. Our Hot deal on GolfNow and the near perfect pace of play only made it all the more of a highly enjoyable round.
Courtesy Is Gone
What should have been a nice outing turned ugly during the 2nd 9. It took 2Hr.45Min. to play this nine. The group ahead of us wouldn't yield to our quicker play. They didn't allow us to play through even after a course ranger told us they agreed to let us play though. Found out that this group included a starter that worked at this course. He got nasty with us when we went up to him to ask why they wouldn't yield. This guy should be fired.
Okay but needs work
Some Tee boxes were hard as rock, some greens were in need of repair. The fairways were okay, could be nicer.
ok, not great
I played the front 9. There was a lot of goose poop. The cart was old and jerked a LOT when it finally decided to go.
Course was in ok shape, not great. Somewhat dry.
Not interested in coming back
The greens had grass clippings and rocks all over them. This was if you are lucky and the greens weren't all covered in goose droppings.
Night and day
I played bay valley 3 years ago and haven't been back until today... it's such a pleasant experience. From the kindness of Charles in the clubhouse to the starter who gave me a few good tips on the course. I felt very welcomed. The course is well taken care of, greens are true. Challenging enough but gives you some opportunities to make birdies. I love the pebble beach feeling holes with water going all the way up the left side of the hole and trouble if you go to far right. I will definitely be back very soon! Highly recommend for golfers in this area
