Nice 99 Hole Course
Pace of play was good. Greens in excellent shape. Fairways average to good. Rough is playable for average golfer.
Just not a great course
Course wasn’t in great shape today, not surprising given the rain we’ve gotten over the past week.
I’ve played this course about 5 or 6 times now and I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s just not a very well designed course. A good golf course should reward good golf, but VHGC does not do that. The wide creek that runs through the course is in the landing zone on about 3 holes, requiring either a 250+ yard drive, or a layup leaving a 200+ yard approach shot to small greens. That’s not fair golf IMO, especially for the average muni player. The 6th is also a good example of poor design. Unless you hit your drive to the extreme left side of the fairway, and at least 240+ yards there are two trees in your line to the green so that your second shot requires a tight hook to access the green.
All in all, not a course that I’m likely to play again, especially considering the plethora of good public golf in the area.
Great time
Only issue was the amount of leaves. Also if anyone finds a black Vice ball that is mine I’ll be back for it.
Solid
Solid muni, nothing fancy about it but course was in great shape for the price point. I walked it for 17 bucks, fun little layout. Traps well maintained. Greens rolled fine.
Not a bad 9-hole
The bunkers and greens are challenging; more difficult than your average golf course. It’s a good place to dial in your irons, but not many holes where you can hit driver. It’s pretty cramped, but for 9 holes, I suppose that’s to be expected.
Challenging nine hole course
Challenging nine hole course! The clubhouse in the starter were very friendly even though I was 10 minutes late. Challenging greens with water hazards. Definitely a step up from other typical nine hole course.
9 Holes of Pedestrian Golf
For a 9 hole corse, VH was pretty basic. The course challenges you by having tiny greens.
The fairways are pretty straight forward and not much to them.
Yardage was not clearly marked and the tee boxes were pretty chewed up.
The nice thing is it is not a par 3 nine hole course. There is an opportunity to drive the ball.
Over all it was a fair course not the best not the worst, but I probably won’t ply here again for the price.
$20 green
