Unimpressed

First time playing Valley in over 40 years of golfing. For former private, now semi-private, tee to green was a huge disappointment. Fairways were in worse condition than the better public courses. No watering was evident.

The one bright spot were the greens. Fast, perfect greens. But, that was it.

May play here again, not likely.

This course was challenging for me but it was in great shape. The fairways were green and cut short. The greens were a bit faster than I am used to but thats because it is one of the better courses I have played. The layout is good with some water on two holes. I enjoyed the round and will definitely be back.

Course has potential with some very interesting and picturesque holes, especially on the back nine. Greens were in great shape. Unfortunately, the fairways were terrible. It appeared they had been completely lost last year and were growing back from nothing. Very patchy, with lots of bare spots. I'd be happy to return if they can get the fairways in better shape, though.

Disappointing

For being listed as a private course that it no longer is. From such a prestigious course it used to be it’s current condition are on par with a municipal course. Definitely not worth the rates requested and that showed with the fact that at 11am on a beautiful Sunday morning there was only about 20 people on the course.

Good Layout

The layout is good and the staff is friendly and helpful. Marshalls keep the pace of play under four and a half hours. The tee boxes and greens are good. Fairways are terrible. I don't understand it.

Winter Golf

Was able to get in 18 yesterday 60° in Rhode Island in December! We enjoyed lunch Ben was very friendly food was fantastic the staff as usual is very accommodating in the clubhouse,

I've never seen as many Divots and ballmarks unrepaired like I did yesterday,it's a shame that people do not at least fix their divots that's the only negative I fixed mine as well as a bunch of others I haven't seen the condition go down since it's become public other than the divots. Great layout and Challenging greens!!!
Played here a number of times during the Season.
I'll be moving down to Florida but when I come up to visit I'll definitely Play it Again had an enjoyable day. Thank you for the hospitality.

First Time at Valley GC

A great golf course with beautiful greens. Only downsides are the choppy cart paths and gruff “members only” staff. I’d recommend the course - very nice course.

Great Shape

Course is in great shape and apparently that wasn’t the case a year ago but I didn’t play it then. The back 9 is a really cool layout

Not worth the time or the money.

Course conditions were horrible, we had to search for clumps of grass on every shot. To bad because the course has good bones. Unfortunately we paid $65.00 ea., it wasn’t worth $15.00.

The course was nice. All the greens were great but some of the fairways are in need of repair. Overall, the experience was great and I would recommend it!

For November the course was in excellent shape. The tees and greens were in awesome shape. Fairways had a few rough patches. Rough was thick but fair. The only issue we had was the pace of play. We arrived at 9:55 for our 10:24 tee time. No one was on the tee nor tees off while we were there. We played the front 9 fairly fast, even though we caught a group at 8. We played the back 9 very slow because of that. Unfortunately that was the only downfall of the course. Will be very happy to go back .
