Very nice course in great condition. Really enjoyed playing there for the first time a couple week prior to this visit. That's why we came back. But the great fun playable course and fun we was all ruined by 2 extremely slow groups that had the whole course backed up to almost 6 hour play time.

Great Day

I live about 45 mins from Sinking Valley but come here 3-4x a year and have never have a bad experience. It's been a hot, dry summer but this course is in better condition than most; the fairways and greens are still in very good condition, the rough had recently been mowed and the course is very playable. I love the layout - it has a nice mix of par 4s, par 3s of varied lengths and a couple of monster par 5s, but 2 reachable ones as well. The clubhouse/pro shop are average in appearance, but I come here to play golf and I feel they offer great value for what I pay, and that means more to me than a fancy building. The greens here set this place apart from most of the area public tracts - smooth, they have some speed and many have subtle breaks that aren't seen on the first visit. Friendly members welcome you and thank you for your patronage; that along with zero snootiness in the pro shop makes one want to come back again and again. Great job to the staff here both inside and out! Great rural golf course!

Like to golf

This is a nice course to play, but it is a little more challenging due to the uphill and downhill lyes. The course is in great shape considering they haven't had much rain.

Course was in excellent condition from tee to green! My compliments to the Greenskeepers. Good layout that is fairly open. Lots of up and down which is to be expected with the surrounding landscape. Well worth playing if you are in the area.
