Dealing with the staff was easy (via phone or in person) - super friendly folks with all the answers to our questions. They have a nice little practice green, and a great driving range. The whole facility is well kept. The course is in really good shape. Probably the fastest greens I've played all season. We didn't notice many (any?) weeds. The greens were clean, and the immediate rough around greens and fairway were pretty decent. The layout is fairly basic - just par 3s and 4s (for the primary 9 at least - we didn't hit holes 10, 11 or 12). The most "character" you'll find is a picturesque tee shot over a mid-fairway fountain. No dog-legs are bends on this course - all straight shots. Along with straight shots - accuracy is required as most holes are pretty tight. There's not a lot of forgiveness if you're not in the fairway. You'll be in the woods, prairie grass or, on the more "open" holes, punching out from under a tree. I'd consider playing here again. Would I pay rack rate? Probably not when I could find a round at a full par-72 course for a couple more bucks. But getting a deal helps (see various golf deal websites) If I lived close, I'd consider a membership as it's fairly affordable for what you get.

I've been to Sand Valley twice before - just made my 3rd trip. Also been to Bandon Dunes once. All…read moretold, I've now played 5 different courses. The Sedge (46 days old when I played it) was quite nice but the least impressive of the 5 I've played. If I were a relative beginner, or elderly, it would be the easiest of all the courses to play. (par 68,... but A LOT of up-and-down). There was nothing about this course that was more impressive than the other 4 I've played. I had a good caddy but the 3 guys I played with didn't take caddies and sprayed the ball all over the place so my caddy ended up spending time helping them too. I hope they tipped him. And while most of the facilities and services were top notch, i did get a little attitude from employees a couple of times. I was disappointed that in the Main pro shop, they did not have a scorecard for the Sedge. Nobody told me there was no practice putting green at The Sedge. I guess I should have asked. I knew to hit balls before going to the course, but didn't putt. Fairways weren't as lush as I expected for a 46-day old course. It's rustic. Greens weren't cut very short so they played very slowly and it was difficult for me to adjust (I take responsibility for that). The three tees are nice - one of them is up in the beginning of the fairway, so (again) if I were a beginner or elderly, I'd like that option. I'll go back to the resort, but I probably won't play The Sedge again.

Sand Valley..... There have been many reviews praising the amazing golf available on your courses…read morethe food too has been praised, and deservedly so. My 5 Stars are for the people.... the waitstaff, grounds crew, caddies, pro shop crew and those working behind the scenes. You put up with The Good, the bad and the Ugly......

I've been golfing Deer Valley for many years, and I love it there - it's my "go to" course,…read moreespecially when I can't find a great deal on something else. First, Deer Valley is an affordable course. I love to golf, but can't afford to shell out top-shelf prices for a round. HOWEVER, Deer Valley isn't exactly a cheap "hacker's course". There's a wide variety of hole styles to keep your attention, highlighted by their signature par-3 #5 that takes you 120 yards out, but straight down to a soft green. The view is intimidating, but it's a hole you could shoot at for hours. Immediately after #5, you're challenged to drive over the rocky, steep face that you just came down. There are holes with blind tee shots over hills, hard dog-leg turns, and plenty of terrain to navigate. I haven't even mentioned hole #1 - a long par 5 up a big hill (and almost always into the wind). Once you get past that hole, the rest doesn't feel too bad. Deer Valley is extremely scenic with tee boxes overlooking vast valleys. In the fall, the colors are breathtaking. Being removed from the big city, it's one of the most peaceful courses I've been on. Keep an eye on your ball, but don't forget to take in the scenic views and watch for wildlife! It's beautiful there! The new "Valley" nine is nice, but I still like the Ridge and Prairie best. Valley is a little tighter and most of the holes run in, you guessed it, the valley... Definitely a course worth hitting. If you're a prude and want to be addressed as "Mister", have your clubs cleaned by some high school boy working for tips, go somewhere else. If you're looking for a course that is great bang for the buck, to hang out with some friends and have a great time - hit Deer Valley.

There are not a lot of water hazards. But the most bothersome thing is the lax standards for a country club. People in jeans, t-shirts, spandex leggings and tank tops. You see groups of 5 and 6 frequently. People have their kids hanging on to the back of the cart and driving around. It's just not classy.
