Been playing here for a few years now and this place never gets old. Great scenery, very nice staff, and always a challenge. The course offers a new test every time, and depending on which tee box you play that day, you can really change up what clubs you are going to use. Greens play fast and very firm, but the course is kept in nice shape. You may run into some pace issues, especially weekend afternoons, but show me a "public" course that doesn't these days.

What a phenomenal surprise. Had never played here before today. Will absolutely be back. Staff was friendly , course in great shape, and the greens as well. Really a lot of fun.

Only thing? No driving range. But that’s not a detractor.

I’ve played this course a few times. It’s an interesting layout, very scenic. Course has always been in great condition. One of the more expensive courses in the area, but the quality definitely is there. Nice clubhouse, restaurant as well.

I was looking forward to playing this course again, I’ve played it a handful of times. I expected the conditions to be excellent as the weather has been fairly wet allowing for good growth.

We played Sunday at 3pm. Pulling in, the parking lot is in bad condition. Needs replaced and more spaces. Check in was easy and friendly. Picked up a couple beverages in the bar. Took longer than it should have and a bit overpriced but nothing to get mad at.

The course was in good condition. Except for cart paths. The cart paths are horrible. I like the layout of this course and similar to other Nicklaus designs the fairways are wide enough to hit and the challenge comes in on approach. The greens were in good condition and pretty fast today.

The problem today was pace. Good should not take 5-1/2 hours. The people in front of us were terrible. That’s ok, they were also terribly slow. There was two foursomes and they held us and others up. Waited on every shot. No Marshall to be found. I tried calling the clubhouse several times and even the grill to try and get some help. No answer.

Fix the parking lot, cart paths and service the pace of play.

We got married @ valley of the eagles on May 25th 2024 and it was outstanding. The price point was perfect, the venue was beautiful & the food & drinks were good. But better yet- the staff was awesome. Specifically the bar tenders & Candace Guerra, the wedding day of coordinator. Candace did everything & MORE. She made the day run so smoothly and made sure it was exactly what I envisioned. My day was so stress free. It wouldn’t have been the perfect day that it was without her!

We had our wedding here this July and we were overjoyed with how everything went. We cannot thank Candace and the entire team who helped make our wedding a success, they were so accommodating and wonderful! The venue is beautiful, the staff is attentive, the bridal suite is wonderful, and the golf simulators being available is great to have for the bridal party; we are super glad we chose to have our big day at Valley of the Eagles!

For starters, I would play this course again. It is challenging, fun and shows different looks to the players. Our league had an outing here and we all enjoyed the course. We really liked Bob the starter who was very welcoming and helpful.

Here's the bad. There are no bathrooms on the course. I saw very few trash cans. A reoccurring theme I seen with other reviewers is that the beer cart girl was indeed horrible. We saw her once the whole time we were there, but we saw her twice facetiming with someone on the phone off to the side. Second issue that is reoccurring as well is the bartenders were just as bad. My fellow golfer waited for damn near ten minutes for a single beer and when he tipped her no money, she exclaimed 'No Tip?!?' Last issue was there was absolutely no food to be had at the turn, which is a bit unfortunate.

We finished our round, had a great dinner from the tavern, but it was shocking to see that none of the regular golfers stuck around for food and drink which tells me something. I really feel the management can do better for its patrons and hope it does in the future.

Cool course. Nice layout and views. Barry gives great lessons and he’s extremely laid back, polite, knowledgeable and on point with his golf instruction. He helped my wife make a natural par after her first lesson. Check these guys out.
