Valley View Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Carved from acres of rolling countryside, Valley View Golf Club blends seamlessly into its surroundings. The scenic setting has led to the club being known simply as "The View" amongst locals. It has been a standby for the area's golfers for more than 55 years. The hilly terrain provides some interesting slopes throughout the golf course. The watered, fairways are generously sized, but they are lined with mature trees so they still demand a fair amount of accuracy. The medium-sized greens are undulating and vary in speed from medium to fast. The golf course has an ideal combination of challenges balanced with more forgiving features that appeals to a variety of different skill levels. Both beginners and more experienced players looking for a casual round will enjoy Valley View Golf Club.

Average
Good overall value at golf now price. Need to control crabgrass.
Challenging layout. Senior tees need to be larger to accommodate more players.

Too many people, did not remove tee times from golf now
I traveled to this course from out of town. I looked on golfnow, and they had a ton of tee times available (almost none of them were booked from 2pm to 6pm).
I arrived to the course to find a junior high school tournament going off on the front 9, and a seniors league teeing off on the back.
I was instructed to go to the back 9, where I came up on 2 groups from the senior league, and a third group of players not associated to the league (which I ended up joining).
It took (no exaggeration) 50 minutes to complete 2 holes, and I waited (again no exaggeration) another 10 minutes to tee off on hole 3 before deciding to pack it up and go back to the hotel (I had paid for 18 holes, and it was apparent that I wasn’t going to be able to finish even 9 holes.
Luckily the person running the pro shop saw me come back in and gave me a rain check coupon (hence the 4 stars for staff friendliness), but I don’t want to risk going back to the course again and only play a couple holes.
In addition, they are doing major renovations to the property, and there are dirt piles and construction equipment all over the course.
All in all, I would maybe wait a while to come to this course for the renovations to be complete unless you live very close in the area. Also don’t trust their golfnow tee times as they don’t reflect the reality of who is on the course (they don’t update their tee times).
Wouldn’t recommend to a friend.
Great time
Thank you looks like more improvements are taking place!

Hidden Gem
The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. My son plays for Fairfield Christian Academy and this is their home course. I really like the new owners who are working hard. Needs some work on the fairways, but they are in progress. The layout is so beautiful looking out from the putting greens and clubhouse. They really appreciate youth golf and making a new layout. It’s a great place to play.

Good one-off
Valley View has excellent greens with uniform speed and several excellent views of the surrounding countryside. I would play it again, but a well needed course redo is already underway and my thoughts it does not measure up to a daily desire to play were perhaps premature.
The plans for the redesign and building of a winery are impressive. Worth another crack at it.

It’s a challenge
Good course with (my opinion) too many blind shots. The greens are very firm. But a fun course.

Hardest Greens in Central Ohio
Don't expect bent grass fairways, but Valley View is a picturesque course and, in general, the course was in pretty decent shape. However, the greens must be called out as being the most cement-like I may have ever played on. I didn't leave a single ball mark in a green all day. Lofty wedge shots would bounce 6 feet off the green into the air then roll 30 feet off the back. This made them almost unplayable... at least very unpleasant to accommodate.
Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve and are working diligently to improve the course. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.
