Dan Valley Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

How challenging is Dan Valley Golf Course, really?

Don't let the scenic valley views fool you; Dan Valley is a true test. You'll find the greens are notoriously quick and subtly sloped, demanding precision with every putt. Factor in the elevation changes on the back nine, and you'll be using every club in your bag.

When's the best time of year to play Dan Valley?

We always recommend late spring or early fall for Dan Valley. The weather is typically perfect - warm but not scorching - and the course conditions are at their absolute peak, with lush fairways and firm greens. Avoid mid-summer if you can; it gets hot, and the course can feel a bit baked out.

What's the one hole at Dan Valley I absolutely can't miss?

You absolutely have to experience the par-3 14th. It plays downhill over a natural ravine to a green guarded by a historic stone wall - it's a stunning shot that requires a perfect strike. It's truly a memorable test of nerve and precision, offering incredible views of the valley below.

Is the green fee at Dan Valley worth it, and what should I expect to pay?

Yes, Dan Valley is absolutely worth the investment for the experience. You're looking at a mid-range to slightly premium green fee, typically between $90-$130 depending on the day and time, which includes a cart. For the quality of the course and the unique layout, we think it's a fair price for a memorable round.

How busy does Dan Valley get, and what's the typical pace of play?

Dan Valley can get pretty busy, especially on weekend mornings, so we recommend booking an early tee time if you want to avoid a slower round. Expect a solid 4.5-hour round on a busy day, but the course marshals do a good job of keeping things moving. Weekday afternoons are usually your best bet for a quicker pace.
