Bay Valley Resort

I've played here twice and I can't complain. The staff was very friendly and even with a strict dress code, they made you feel like you belong.

Took 3 hours to play 9 holes , had to quit 10 th tee 10 people waiting to tee off, 3 twosomes, a foursome ahead off us, no course management on pace of play or starter present at all, very very poor grounds up keep course hard as a rock dry

I wrote a poor review of this course late in 2015. With the recent fix to the watering/sprinkler system, everything is beginning looking better. The maintenance guys were out working on the course, there's sand in traps, new rakes in traps, the greens are transitioning from brown to green. The clubhouse staff is great and are working to bring the conditions back to what Bay Valley used to be known for. Thanks to Tom for his leadership.

This round of 18 took the two of us just under 5.5 hours to complete. Other than chipping and putting we had to wait for every single shot to be made. There was no rhythm to the game. The course was super backed up so we had no opportunity to play through the multiple foursomes in front of us.

Once the crown jewel of the Tri Cities has fallen on hard times. Dry, chopped up greens, dilapidated tee boxes and fairways. White Birch is in better shape. Unbelievable that this is the same course from the last 40 years. Maintenance funds are being spent else where on this resort. The layout is still one of the best. Don't waste your money until Bay Valley uses theirs wisely.

It took 5 1/2 hours to play 18 holes. There was no Ranger out on the course to move play along. The greens were dry and brown, must have a water problem or not enough water. I have played here many times before and can't believe the condition of the course at this time of the year, would expect this in August, not in June. Hope they get it together as I do really enjoy playing this course and the staff is very friendly.

Course was extremely dry and fringes were burned out on some holes. Tee shots traveled remarkable distances due to dry fairways. Greens also hard to hold. Beverage girl was available throughout, but no hot dogs and burgers on the grill at the turn. Paid for range balls, but help yourself to the unattended bin at the cart barn. Perhaps the rains will soften the fairways, but the atmosphere was just a bit shabby.

Open carts with no windshields, no starter, just tee off when your ready, etc. Perhaps we're getting what we paid for?

The course was fantastic! Game play a little slow waited on every hole of front nine. Back nine pace much better pace. Very scenic and great fairways, greens where very well maintained.

I've been playing this course for over 15 years now. It used to be the golf course to play in the Saginaw valley. This is no longer the case. Many greens and tee boxes have many spots of brown/dead grass. The bunkers are in horrible condition (lack of sand and many rarely drain from recent rain). Greens are not rolled or cut to a high standard any longer. There have been a few "new" owners of this facility since 2008. It appears to me they are taking the money out of the course and not investing as they should. It's a shame as this was a beautiful golf course a few short years ago. My recommendation is to hire a certified greens keeper who knows how to fix turf damage and diseases. A local landscape guy won't cut it.

Fun course. Not easy. Great shape. Ienjoy playing here. Lot of course for the money.

Had good time course was fun to play will be back course was in good shape

Stopped on the way up north to break up the travel on a long golf weekend. Was worth the stop and not too challenging but had a lot of character.

I thought the course had a few gimmicky holes. A par five that you can't hit driver off the teE. The bunkers were not in good shape and appeared to have more dirt than sand. Other than that the course was well maintained and enjoyable.

Conditions of the course was good, greens were good. Cart paths rough, bridge on #3, scary. Staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Pace of play was good, wife and I played in 3 1/2 hours with a half hour rain delay.

We had a good time. I recommend this course anytime.

The Only issue that I did not like was the grounds guys, mowing 15 ft from me shooting. Also boy string trimming 20ft from us on tee off.

Common courtesy is usually best.

Other then that.

Very good time.

This course is great for some nice open holes and then some real challenging holes. Fantastic course for the price.

Course was fun, challenging and in good shape. It wasn't overcrowded and it has a fantastic staff.

We take a weekend trip to Bay Valley for a group golf outing every year and have for the past 15 years. The facility has always been accommodating and the staff is exceptional, especially Meghan and Sharon. Would recommend.

This was our first time at Bay Valley GC.
Great golf course with great staff. Condition of GC was perfect. I would highly recommend this golf course to all.

Just went for father's day. Course looked really good, fairways were excellent. Greens were a bit tricky but fun and challenging. I would definitely recommend to anyone.
