Challenging and Beautiful
Bay Valley was a tough but beautiful course for us. Perfect weather with nary a breeze. Lots of water but always an option to bypass it. When you got in trouble you got in BIG trouble. Every hole felt very private from other golfers. Some of the biggest greens my husband has ever seen. We enjoyed our round immensely. Kayla the cart gal was friendly and helpful. We will be back. Excellent value for your money !
Great Value
The course is much nicer and more challenging (on some holes) than your average course. I’ve gone multiple times this year and I’ve never had to wait on other golfers. Hot Deals are usually around $25 and it’s totally worth it. Great place!
Great place to play!
I golf here often, overdue on this review. The value here (especially through Golf Now) is through the roof! Great course, great layout, not too challenging, and nice bar to relax in after your round! Highly recommend!
MUCH IMPROVED
Played first time this year because I heard improvements were in place. Course in MUCH better condition than last year!! Not as good as 5 years ago, but not what it was last year. Greens, tee boxes, and range show a lot of effort taking place.
I will go back!
excellent golf course
We had gotten a lot of rain just 2 hrs before my round. they had changed #4 from a par 4 to a par 3 because of the condition of the fairway. but all the other holes were in great shape. the greens were receptive and fast. Have not played out there in a couple of years but now it will be a regular tract
Very pleased
Played 18 w teenage son, course was very well kept , staff exceptionally friendly and helpful .
Will return !
So close to a 5 Star
Thought the course was beautiful and layout was challenging but the greens had dead patches that for the price was extremely off putting.
Coming back into shape
I have played this course multiple times per year over the past decade and the conditions this April were the best I have seen in years. The greens are really starting to make a comeback and the course was in extremely good condition. Also, this course is one of the few in the area which have a GolfNow Hot Deal Tee Time attached to it, which makes it much more affordable than other area courses.
Nice course
We had a great time!! The course was in pretty good shape considering the weather lately. The staff is always great.. The greens were clean and fast. Excellent value also!!
Bit rough -- Coming back though
Course has experienced a rough couple of years but now has a new superintendent and it is coming back.
Great course
I really enjoy this course. Recommend it to everyone. Only problem is pace of play is always slow. There's never a ranger advising slow golfers to speed it up or advising to let slower golfers play through. Great course for the money!
Needs Work
This course use to be well groomed. The sand traps are not taken care of and the condition of the course is not what it use to be. I really thought the new owners would take better care of the course. It is really a shame. This course has some very good challenging holes and you need to think before you take your shots.
Nice course
Course was in good shape and the greens were in excellent shape as well! Clubhouse was outdated and a little misleading going into the round . Overall though great course for the value! Would play it again if opportunity is there .
Nice Course but Could Use TLC
I played here last year a few times and enjoyed the experience. I was disappointed with the conditions of the greens this time. They appeared to be in rough shape. The bridge to/from pro shop to cart barn could be a problem. Stairs are slanted.
The portapotties need attention. I’ll give it another look in a month.
Hello, Bill. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry to see that your overall experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you'll give us another try in the near future.
