| Springvale Golf Club -- A diamond still a little rough |
| Review by: Golf Nut |
Springvale is a course that has been in a transition stage for what seems like forever. Going from a family owned to a now city run course has taken time but has proven to be worth the wait. Improvements on the course layout, irrigation and drainage systems as well as adding an all new clubhouse make for a very pleasurable golfing experience.
The practice range, which butts up against the backyard of a privately own home, is okay as long as you planned to practice your short irons (7 through wedge). The putting green is adequate.
The actual course is an older design, i.e. meaning they managed to fit a 18 hole course on a 14 hole layout, but it has been spruced up a bit in recent years. A note of advise for low handicap golfers, play it from the tips to have the most fun. There are several Par 4 holes located on the course that can easily be hit in 1. The Par 5, 515 yard 11th hole dubbed "The Monster" can be tamed with a good drive and a decent middle iron. The 16th hole significantly challenging hole on the course if you're not prone to hit the ball straight but otherwise, keeping a decent drive in play should produce high 60's low 70's score pretty much every time. |

| Review by: Larry Orsulak |
This golf course in very underrated and always in great shape. It is challenging but does not break your spirit. The hilly terrain on the front nine makes it very distinct from the back nine. The back nine has back-to-back par fives with a challenge to drive over the creek on both holes. Number nine signature hole is beautiful! The staff has always been helpful in the outings that I have had there for the past 6 years. I hope this little known course stays that way so I don't have to fight the crowds. |
