Another great round
Fantastic place to get away. Great restaurant that overlooks 18 and the pond. Love coming here. Doug Temple is always great to catch up with. Can't wait to go back
This place is on the way up…they were rolling the greens in the fall! I like the layout although a few tricky landings, but overall great value and good challenge.
LOVE this place !!!
Had an amazing round this morning at Bay Valley GC. First off it was a little wet and that is to be expected in Michigan at this time of year and the course played well! I do wish some of the patrons would have more consideration for the integrity of the greens. The ball mark scars are a simple fix that the players need to prioritize. I love this place! Doug is such a nice, genuine manager and knows how to strike up a conversation. His associates are great as well. Hole #6 is personally one of the most challenging holes ive played ANYWHERE. Forget what youve heard, BAY VALLEY is BACK baby!!!!
The course is in excellent shape compared to prior
I have golfed this course before. The new owners have done a wonderful job getting it back into shape. It doesn't happen overnight. Great job!

The course is showing some long needed care. Having said that there is a lot that needs to be done to bring it back to a destination course. I paired up with a couple and we had a great time. It is also a plus when the weather is nice and you play fairly well.
Staff
Not very friendly inside pro shop. Maybe having a bad day. Take a minute and welcome your customer please. I enjoy the course.
Pace of place was an issue
I skipped 4 holes due to the pace of play. There was nobody from the course enforcing this and there were a few people that skipped around holes.
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.
