  "Best Kept Secret In Central VA"
  Of all the courses I have played through out VA I would have to say this is one of the best kept secrets in Virginia. The greens are very fast but yet they hold very well. The vista's of the mountains on the back nine are breath taking. The #17 hole could one day be as comparable to one of the holes at Augusta or the TPC Sawgrass. Its and old club with alot of history set up in a beautiful historic town! If you can get your self and invitation to play it I would highly recommend it. Keep your head down and let it rip. Bill P.

  "Woodcrest Country Club"
  Woodcrest Country Club is not a long hitters course, but rather accuracy is rewarded. Woodcrest is famous for its rough, so keeping it in the Fairway is the play. Greens are smaller than the nouveau courses, but not the undulating and overly tricky type either. My friends who are low handicappers tell me that the course is tough but fair, and conservative play is best. Higher handicappers like me know the value of course management here.

  "The Best Golf Course in the State"
  It is hard to say how I feel about this magnificent golf course in only 1,000 words. The natural beauty and splendor of the course added to the enjoyable time I had while playing a round of golf. This course is challenging, and it is a good test of your abilities. The pro shop is is also very neat and organized. I met a man who worked there who was an artisst as well as a golfer! He had taken pictures of golfers in different positions and painted them into humorous golf paintings. I learned his name was Todd Budge and that aside from working in the pro shop and painting, he also teaches golf lessons! This golf course has it all. A Cafe, a pro shop, lessons, a driving range, practice putting greens, and a splended course. I give this course a 5-star rating and recommend it above all other courses in the state of Utah. I am going to try and drive up at least twice a month to play a round of golf at Valley View. I don't know why it has taken me so long to get this message out ot people, but I am recommending that everyone who reads this message pass it along to friends so at the first of spring, everybody can enjoy a beautiful round of golf.

  "Beautiful and challenging layout"
  The name certainly fit's the layout. The front side of this tree-lined course is tight but somewhat forgiving on certain holes. The front has three par three's and two par 5's making it a par 35. Newly constructed tee's on two of the par 3's, number 3 and 6, make them both over 200 yards. To add to the difficulty #3 plays over water. The 400 yard plus 5th hole was the most difficult, an uphill, dogleg right to a large two-tier green. The backside seem's like water everywhere. It comes directly into play on 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, & 17. Number 15 is a spectacular hole with water along the right that turns in front of the green to make your approach shot about 150 to 160 over water to a large green. Number 17 is a drive over a hill to a green fully protected by a large pond in front and surrounded by a natural bowl around the back and side. This was the most difficult hole on the course. The backside has only one par 3 and two par 5's making par 37. Playing from the blue tee's presents a good challenge for the mid to low handicapper as the course plays to about 6400 yards. The white tees present a nice but fair challenge for the mid to high handicap. Beautiful, quite setting surrounded by woods and farmland. Excellent practice facility, best East of the CT. River. Large, two-tier driving range, three practice greens, one with a fairway chipping area and bunker. Modest clubhouse, a true golfing club.
