Spring Valley Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

When's the best time of year to play Spring Valley, and what should I expect from the course conditions?

We always recommend visiting in late spring or early fall; the fairways are incredibly lush then, and the greens roll true without the summer's firm bounce. You'll find the course meticulously maintained, especially around the namesake spring-fed creeks that come into play on several holes.

Is Spring Valley a challenging course, and what's its standout feature?

It's a fair test, but don't underestimate the elevation changes on the back nine - they can really add strokes if you're not precise with your club selection. The par-3 14th, with its dramatic downhill shot over a ravine to a well-bunkered green, is truly unforgettable and a real card-wrecker.

What's the typical green fee at Spring Valley, and is it worth the price?

Expect to pay around $80-$120 for a prime weekend tee time, which we think is excellent value for the quality of golf and the stunning valley views you get. We highly recommend booking at least two weeks in advance, especially for weekend mornings, as it fills up fast.

Beyond the golf, what amenities does Spring Valley offer for a full day out?

Their clubhouse has a surprisingly good grill room - the "Valley View Tavern" - perfect for a post-round burger and a local craft beer on the patio overlooking the 18th green. The practice facilities are solid too, with a decent range and a large putting green that gives you a good feel for the course's contours.

Any insider tips for playing Spring Valley, especially for first-timers?

Absolutely - pay close attention to the pin positions on the par-4 7th and 11th; those greens have subtle breaks that can fool even seasoned players. Also, consider renting a cart, as the walk between some holes, particularly on the back nine's hilly terrain, can be quite a trek.
