Fun round

Played Bay Valley for the first time. Very interesting layout and with all the recent rain the course was in good condition. Greens were soft and held nicely. My wife and I played this as a a Hot Deal so the price was right. I will look to play here again.

This course has made huge strides in returning to its glory from several years ago. Greens and tees are in great shape. Always liked the layout of this course, but the extra watering has really paid off. Clubhouse needs major work, but who cares for the 1 minute you are in there to pay.

Day with brother on the course

Played many times before. Greens were very hard. Pace of play was good. Bunkers, as most in Michigan, are not fit to be hit from. Tough flag positions.

Great place great staff

Been golfing here for 20 years. I have seen the good the bad and the ugly...and now coming back to the good thanks to some personal changes. The clubhouse staff is some of the best around. The greens are in great shape, fairways are coming back, bunkers need some work and it all takes time. Keep up the good work

course review

I have played this course several time over the past two years this year has been the best condition that the course has been in for sometime, the year before the tee boxes were a disgrace but a lot has went into the course since then with proper management this could become a standout course. More golfers have to lear to repair their divots. This course is a great bang for the buck.

Enjoy the Fall Golf and Colors

What a great play to golf. Well worth the stop if you're going north or driving there for the day. The people here are fantastic and one of the best in customer care in the Saginaw Bay area. Course is well maintained, not an easy course at all but not that hard that you don't ever want to come back, great mix of tough and not so tough holes.

A come back course

The reason I say a come back course is the previous management was not putting anything back into the case and was still trying to charge a top dollarr. The present management is really improving the course the greens are quick and true and well maintained. You can see a lot of improvement in the course. The course is getting a lot of play because of the pricing of 25.00 for 18 and a cart, it the course is returning to the course of years ago. Great job guys.

Hot as heck

Greens were in decent shape considering the lack of rain. Pace of play was very good. Only saw cart girl once... could have really used something to drink (very hot).

BV Needs Care

Course is a great layout. But probably due to lack of profits the course has suffered and is in need of maintenance. Tee boxes are rough to say the least. Greens in pretty good shape. Fairway is OK. Cart paths are real bumpy. I'm willing to return for more rounds but not willing to pay more for it.

Go to neighborhood course.

We don’t live far from the course so we play it often. The GolfNow discount makes it even more appealing. There a a few tough holes for seniors but overall a pleasant experience.

This is my hometown favorite! We have played here multiple times this year due to awesome deals they have going all the time with Golf Now App and other coupons. We have not been disappointed! Greens are good and overall course is very nice.
