Spring Valley Golf Course - Spring Valley

The course has two distinct and different sides. The first nine 9 holes, while not having the pines of the second nine to contend with, is not an easy tract. This is not a drive and a wedge course. All of the clubs in your bag will get a workout. This nine is located atop the moraine left by glaciers thousands of years ago. Not many level holes here and undulating fairways and greens are the norm. Because the thousands of pines found on the inward nine are not present here, it would seem there are slight breezes blowing constantly that have to be taken into consideration on most shots. The second nine holes is by far the most difficult as it has been carved out of a thick pine forest. There are no sure pars as all but one of the par fours is over 400 yards. Its fairways are narrow, to say the least and when playing a hole it seems you're the only one on the course as no other fairways can be seen. One had better bring ones "A" game to compete on this tract. A wayward shot off the tee box and a certain bogey or worse awaits the player. Rather than the mundane, straight-a-way fairways, the norm is fairways curving to the right or left and on some holes, both.
