Pleasant Valley Golf Club

Wow what a foggy day but had fun!! Course was fun course !! Fairways were in decent condition some tee boxes were just mud. But course was challenging and fun !! Young lady at counter was friendly and nice !! Wish they had driving range but it is what it is. Would recommend

It was my first time at Pleasant Valley GC and it was mostly positive with a couple of minor issues.

Firstly, the pricing is very affordable, at least at this time of year. Other than another single, I had the entire course to myself (probably because of the cold weather and the course's isolated location), which made my round very relaxing and enjoyable. I felt no pressure to be rushed when playing, that's a huge positive for me.

The course is fairly scenic, showing off the area's rolling hills, a nice change of pace for somebody from Delaware, where it is quite flat comparatively.

The staff was very friendly and helpful when I had trouble getting a cart started due to the cold weather. They came out and got the cart going for me. They gave me helpful information/advice about the clubhouse and course with it being my first time playing there.

In terms of the golf course itself, my critiques would include the tee boxes could be flatter and more level throughout the majority of the course, though they weren't horrendous.

The biggest issue I faced was the greens were really hard/solid because of the cold, making it really difficult to hit them and stay on the putting surface. After a few holes, I realized I'd have to club down anywhere from 1 to 3 clubs to land the ball short and have it roll up onto the green. I'm not qualified to speak on the truth to these conditions, whether there is some course management that could be done to improve this, or if it simply comes with the territory of playing winter golf (maybe a mix of both?). Either way, these issues were not a huge hindrance, at least not when you consider the positives I've listed above. The hard greens actually probably helped my golf game by forcing me to think more about my course management and club selection, and how to go about playing different shots. I'm sure not every golfer would agree with that though.

To summarize, I would recommend this course and would be happy to play it again. I'd like to come back in the warmer months and see how it plays then.

I liked the layout of the course. Being the first time playing, there were a few shots I would have tried to hit differently over some blind landing areas. I biggest complaint was the greens on one, and ten. There were leaves piled a foot beep covering 90% of both greens, with no one even trying to clean them up (besides the golfers) The other issue was the grill was closed. If the course is open, the grill should be as well. Other than those two, I really enjoyed the course, and will be back (after falling leaf season)

Great value and awesome staff. If they could let you know some how that have event going one would be helpful. We waited way too long on every hole until hole 15.

A few spots here and there that need care but overall in very good condition. Greens good but quick and didn’t hold well. Got very backed up on back nine but course staff addressed it as well as possible. For the price it’s very hard to beat. Layout is interesting.

I really don't think I need to say anything more. You need a hand drill and a tiller to find a level spot to put your tee in the ground. Fairways are barely there, as there is tons of crabgrass all over the place. Dont even let me get started about the condition of the sand traps or should I say clay and mud holes. This used to be worth the drive from MD. Not any longer. Sorry, I'm not being mean, I'm being honest.

This is a nice course and it offers a great value. I went on a holiday Sunday and everyone had the same idea to break out the driver. So with that, the tee boxes were crying for moisture and between my son and I, it wouldn’t be far fetched to say we snapped off 10 tees. Fairways were hard all due to a dry spell but the service is always top notch. In talking to the starter the Golf Now app interferes with scheduling causing a bit of a challenge yo release golfers timely. This day we were in a bottle neck from the gitgo.

The course is in really good shape. Not sure what was going on but the greens were putting extremely slow. Will still play there just use my driver to put with (LOL). All joking aside the greens have been well taken care of but putted slow this day. KUDOS to grounds-keeping.

Excellent, well groomed course. Some PAR 4’s are legit LONG as well as some PAR 3 holes:

Course was in good shape.
Except for the tee boxes.
Greens were nice.
Could use a ranger to keep play
Moving fast.
