Valley Oaks Golf Course

I’ve thought long and hard about the review for this course. Let’s start with the course it’s self, it was AWESOME for the price! I’ve played MANY courses all around the country and this is hands down one of my favorites. The fairways were immaculate and the greens were some of the nicest greens I’ve played on minus all the old divots that all the shit golfers don’t fix. (Not the courses fault). The carts were gas but reliable, from my part of the country most are electric so it was nice to play with some good ole fashioned gas carts! The scenery was great and the weather was cool. However this course was surprisingly challenging with its narrow fairways and drastic dog legs. A few holes with water. Wasn’t a busy day so I can’t say much about pace of play. Now let’s get into the customer service/clubhouse. The young lady that was working the bar/cash register was super friendly and welcoming which now a days at the many courses I’ve played is becoming less frequent! Kudos to her. This is the one “negative” thing I have to say and it’s really not something that I consider a big deal because I’m not a snowflake but knowing that there are a lot of you liberal snowflakes out there figured I’d throw this in there. There was a gentlemen in the pro shop when I first got there to check in that did not seem friendly at all. He seemed cold and unwelcoming but I thought to my self who gives a shit I’m here to golf not make friends. (Which the bartender made up for with her friendliness) however to my surprise when I finished my round and returned to the clubhouse to turn in my keys and ice chest and finish my beer this same gentleman was still in there which I then learned he was the manager, this interaction with him was night and day difference from my first one. He welcomed me in with a smile and a “how was your round” and from there on out he was GREAT. I will say they were resealing the asphalt in the parking lot and it seemed like said manager was at his wits end trying to keep people off it. So I don’t blame the guy lol! Overall I rate this course and the experience I received a solid 9/10. Both the manager and the bartender were Great and the course was phenomenal! I’ll be back forsure! Who ever owns this course should really be grateful for the staff that they have working there from whoever is in charge of maintaining the course itself all the way to the manager because they are great group and take pride in their work and it shows. P.S. there is some shit for brain homeowner that has a house on like the 3rd or 4th hole that has a Harris walz flag flying and I would have loved to shank a ball through their window but unfortunately it was behind the tee box lol
