Valleaire Golf Club

This course has a nice layout and is in good shape, but the 7 minute tee times have to be reconsidered. The last two times I played here it was backed up on every hole, and yes, one of those was a weekday. Both instances, saw as many as three groups stacked up at a tee box. That's not a pace problem, it's a scheduling problem.

Played there this morning and it was an almost 3-hours for the front. Our group was running out of time for evening plans and asked for a 9-hole rain check at the turn. Their policy is they don’t offer rain checks for slow play. Buyer beware!!! Play elsewhere - first course I’ve ever played that refused a reasonable ask for a raincheck for slow play. Won’t play there again - poor course management! Edit: Check your facts! We played as a threesome. Again, poor course management. That's partly your responsibility to keep pace of play going and it was almost a 3-hour 9-holes. SO make whatever excuse that makes you feel better about terrible pace of play. I wouldn't expect a 6-hour round at an outing let alone on a weekend in Hinkley OH. Cheers right back at ya!

DO NOT PLAY HERE!!!! Tee time was at 11:52 and it looked online that there were many open tee times so pace of play shouldn’t be a problem. We arrive to the course 15 minutes early and check in, starter was rushing us to get out 10 minutes early and we couldn’t even get a couple putts in since the starter was rushing us to get out at 11:45. We get done with 3 holes in an hour. Lots of old people golfing. Got through 12 holes in 5 hours and finally had enough. Pace of play is terrible. Same thing happened last year when I played and thought maybe I’ll give valleaire another shot, turns out this place is a dump and you’ll spend 8 hours to finish 18 holes. People in front of us didn’t let us play through when it’s just me and my buddy who are both single digit handicaps and play fast. The foursomes in front of us were really rude, and couldn’t even hit their tee shot past the women’s tees and didn’t wanna let us play through. If I could only play this course for the rest of my life, I would quit golf. NEVER COMING BACK, IF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT PLAYING, DO NOT COME

Could’ve been a better experience. Called to schedule a tee time and the person over the phone acted like it was a task to let me and my friend come out. We get to the course, they have my name in completely wrong which created unnecessary waiting times. We look for the starter for about 10 minutes because he’s sitting in a cart and not making any effort to announce his presence at all. And then when I say to my friend “yeah I’m trying to find the starter” the starter finally says something and makes it off like we were supposed to magically know that he was there sitting in a cart. Probably would’ve helped if he was at a starter station or something. We talk to the starter and he says he can’t find my name, we wait around even longer while the starter talks to several other people working there. Turns out we were there in the system the whole time and somehow they all just managed to gloss over my name, so that was cool. The carts were cool and they told you how far away you were from the pin and stuff, but if you drove even a centimeter off of the cart path into the rough, the thing started beeping like crazy, very annoying and repetitive. Like you couldn’t even drive into the un

There was a break in the weather and the course was open. They did a great job of getting the greens on order. Once the leaves fill in, this course will be beautiful and in need of some more aerial photos. Can’t wait.
