Great day of golf

Always love playing Shenvalee - played Creek & Miller ... my personal favorite of the three nines. Price was right, weather was right, course was in great shape, and wasn't too crowded. Very pleasant day of golf!

Starters lack experience

It was clear that the starters and course rangers were inexperienced which had a negative effect on our golfing experience. Too many groups were started on the same 9, and crossovers and walk-ons were not effectively monitored. Also, twosomes were not combined and each group had the expectation of playing through everyone ahead of them. When they complained to the starter(s) they didn't respond effectively and overall play was slowed. A few drunk hotheads were accommodated which was a mistake. It was clear that the inexperienced teenage course officials were in over their head and could not handle a difficult situation. After years of playing at ShenValee, our recent experience will cause is to play elsewhere in the future.

Beautiful course

We had a blast but there was a tournament that we seemed to be caught behind which made for a lot of waiting. We also had a rain delay but overall a great day!!

Another enjoyable round

Course is overall good shape for early in the year with work being done on some tee boxes. Overall recommend, but could be a better value this time of year vs 40 with cart. Thankfully I had reward points.

All time favorite!

I play the Shen 10 or 12 times a year. Never fails to satisfy. Always in good shape, fun, playable, no stress golf. Miller Grille is great, wings are awesome. The hotel is clean and comfortable and the pool comes in handy after a long day of golf. Book a weekend and enjoy.

Green condition is amazing

I'm from the DMV area, so this is my first time out here.

Green was fast and it was amazing. It's on par with greens from 5 star courses in Williamsburg. In terms of green, it is better than Potomac Shores, Stone Wall, Blue Mash, Laurel Hills, Twin Lakes, etc.

The course layout and length is similar to Penderbrook in VA. Probably slightly better. Its not like East Potomac in DC, its much better than that. Its just not as good as some of the high-end courses mentioned above. Blue Ridge Shadows is not too far from but its a much better course, but the prices reflect that. The green here is probably better than blue ridege
