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 Clubhouse was outdated and a little misleading going into the round .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.
Slow play
Course is short, greens are in good shape, pace was slow with no Marshall’s controlling anything.
Don't Understand!
I really don't understand what is going on. I have played this course many times and I just can not believe the condition of it. The greens are spotted, the bunkers are as hard as a brick and not taken care of. I know that the place has new owners by why would you let your investment go to heck. We had a great day, almost perfect conditions but, no cart girl, dry conditions, spotted greens, rock hard bunkers with grass growing in them. If they don't start taking care of the course, no one is going to play there anymore. No reason for this.
Must have a great course in the past
The course was not in great condition. Some of the greens were in pretty bad shape (rot).
I would imagine this course was once a high-end stay and play, but not anymore!
Bay Valley
This course is easily accessible, a good layout. It it needs water badly.
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.
