The biggest challenge on the Valley Course often comes from its subtle elevation changes and strategic bunkering, particularly around the greens.

If you're not a member, expect green fees to be on the higher end, typically ranging from $150-$250, depending on the season and day of the week. We recommend calling the pro shop well in advance to inquire about available tee times for non-members.
