Rating 71.0

Raccoon Valley Golf Course (formerly known as Raccoon International Golf Club) sprawls across gently rolling woodlands, featuring scenic vistas of the surrounding countryside. The course is known for being home to the longest par 5 in the state, the notorious 17th hole. This treacherous hole measures in at a devilish 666 yards that will challenge even the longest hitters. Although the terrain is mostly flat and open, there are some surprisingly dramatic undulations in the greens that will cause tricky uneven lies. There are several lakes that come into play throughout as well as a number of strategically placed bunkers. In addition to the penultimate hole, notable holes at Raccoon Valley include the par-4 eighth, which requires a 220-yard carry, and the 11th, a par 3 that plays over a lake to a two-tiered green guarded by a bunker.

Course was in great shape but was crowded. Should never take a single player 4 hours to play 18 holes.

Excellent Course for the money

Awesome course to get back in the groove. Not the best course around but provides a nice scenic back drop to enjoy while getting yourself loosened up. Will absolutely play again for the cheap rate.

Zero Course Maintenance

Was like playing golf in a construction zone. Huge holes everywhere. Downed trees. Tons of bare spots. Not worth the $35 in greens fees.

Decent

Price is really the only thing that this course has going for it right now. Fairway grass was tall and almost the same height as the rough. Greens werent the best. Tees werent the best. Most likely wouldnt come back.

A little rough

Clubhouse is in very poor condition. What little cart paths that are there are in very rough shape. If you are looking for a cheap place to get a round I ln it will work. The greens and fairways were in decent shape.

It was very interesting.

I played for the second time at this golf course.
This golf course has ups and downs like a Japanese golf course and is very interesting.
I played from the back tee today as well, but due to the rain the day before, the fairway was soft and I didn't run much.
But the green was a little early.
I also want to play.
