Blue/Red at Shenandoah Valley Golf Club

Played the Friday of Memorial Day weekend. Blue/White course had a charity shotgun event so we started on Red. Everything was freshly cut and very green. We teed off early between two other twosomes, but we never had to wait to hit and we’re never pushed. Front 9 was done in a record 83 minutes! At the turn we were given the option of playing Red again or waiting a few minutes for the tournament to finish. After a 15 min cold beverage break on the patio we teed off on Blue. For the back nine we never ran into another golfer and the course was in the same great condition. We are looking forward to coming back soon!

New ownership/management has let a hidden gem spoil and begin to wither away. This course, under previous ownership, was great….terrific experience, above average course conditions, professional staff, and EASILY the best course in the area. Now that they have been purchased by Shenendoah Valley, a shell of what it once was remains. Just walking in the new clubhouse and dealing with the current staff will tell you all you need to know about how poorly this place is being handled. Not worth your time playing any of these courses…just drive a couple miles down the road for Sly Fox or Blue Ridge Shadows…don’t waste your time here.

Played a 3pm round on a Thursday and had very few people on the course. Beautiful scenery, solid Course conditions, excellent green speeds and a good price. Will be back again.

This is the old Bowling Green Course was, and its in terrible condition. I know its April, but grass was uncut all over the course. This is not the US Open and we shouldnt had trouble locating a ball hit in fairway. Greens were bouncy and rough. Staff was very friendly when we arrived. And understood we were late because directions send you to SVGC Club house which is 10min away. I wouldn't recommend playing this course until it gets cleaned up some.

I’ve played the course a number of times in years past and always enjoyed the experience. This round was very disappointing. The fairways were awful, neither the greens nor the tee boxes had been mown in quite sometime and the pace of play was horrendous and there wasn’t a Marshall to be found anywhere to speed things up. We waited on every hole, every shot while there were no groups ahead for at least 4 holes. Very disappointing.

I have usually loved this course over the years but this weekend was by far the worst shape it has ever been in. The fairways were pretty much dirt. I don't know what happened but I'd rather play out of the rough as it was actually green and had grass. I attached a picture to show what they looked like. I've played my fair share of bad courses but they cost $20, not $55. I won't be back unless they fix whatever issue they have going on.

First time and last time playing this course. The range is too tight and is right next the the first hole of the Blue Nine and White Nine. Anyone who shanks or hooks a ball on the range could hit a player as there is no net on either side of the range. The fairways on the White Nine are very patchy and feel like concrete so my playing group spent our time trying to hit the rough in order to have some grass to work with. The bunkers are just full of clay and no sand which is just laziness. You might as well hit off the cart path and get the same effect. The greens had more bumps than a school zone, your putts will not roll true. For a golf course to charge 50 bucks a person during 'peak' Friday time is a rip off due to the course conditions. I can pay the same price and play at Blue Ridge Shadows which is a much better maintained golf course.

The course is in good condition for winter. Much of the fairway grass is spotty. The owner has purchased the golf course across the street (Bowling Green) and has asked to build 286 homes on this site. So, if you want to play here, do it now before it is gone.

For the time of the season, the course was in nice shape. A gorgeous day in February turned frustrating after playing nine on the white course. When we made the turn to play the second nine on the Blue course, we had to wait over 30 minutes as four other groups and a twosome teed off. We had to wait on every tee box and our second nine took 3.5 hours.

SVGC has 3 9-hole "courses" so even if you start early, you could be behind someone on the turn. However, the course is open, people don't need to look for balls long, and tees are near the previous hole greens.
