Played here with some friends who are members. It was great as they were telling us the best places to aim. We had a very nice time, played in a little over 4 hours, it was a bit busy. Course was in very good shape. Everyone at the clubhouse and proshop were very nice and helpful.

Paying $75 for a round of golf on what was once a beautiful and challenging course is disappointing. The course is now poorly maintained, with dead fairways, bunkers filled with rocks, and players wearing jeans and T-shirts. The current management has unfortunately tarnished the legacy this course once held.

Last year Dayton valley was in my opinion on the verge of losing their course do to dead and dieing fairways. Just played the course and cannot believe how the crews have brought the coarse condition back. Dayton valley is back and again a favorite. Good job Dayton valley crew.

Nice track, but could use some better upkeep/maintenance. Whoever procures the sand here should never be allowed near a golf course. Traps were full of rocks!

The greens, though slightly shaggy, still provide a decent putting experience that challenges golfers' skills. While a few dried-up spots can be found on both fairways and greens, it's important to consider the season – the course's overall condition is commendable given the winter weather. Despite the winter-related challenges, the course remains an enjoyable choice for golf enthusiasts looking to get their swings in. The management's efforts to maintain the course and keep it playable are evident, and with the perspective of the season in mind, the experience is quite positive. As spring approaches, golfers can look forward to the rejuvenation of the fairways and greens, providing an even more satisfying game.
