I honestly think that Spring Valley is a very nice course with excellent condition. Though not much design, but the entire course situated in a very nice "valley" landscape, with very good condition ☺️. Like how Hole 9 l, 11 and 18 constructed across the lake, all of the 3 holes are fun to play.

I love this golf course, I think it is one of the best values in the Bay Area for golf. The course is always nicely maintained and the price is extremely affordable. You can come for twilight during the week and play 18 for cheaper than 9 at Pruneridge or Sunken Gardens. The course is always nicely maintained but in Summer in can get a little dry (it is in the hills of course!). It also isn't a hard course but good for the fundamentals. The driving range is also fantastic, they even have an offer for a monthly range membership, $100/month gets you a large bucket daily. Decent chipping area and a pretty good putting green. There are usually some deer and turkeys roaming around, maybe even some grumpy geese. I love this place.

I've lived in the Bay Area my whole life and never knew about Spring Valley which is tucked away in the Milpitas hills. Everyone I interacted with was wonderful and very helpful and they have a driving range and putting green very close to the #1 tee. The scenery and rolling hills make this a wonderful place to enjoy your golf day.

I played this course once and will not be playing it again. They send group out every 7 minutes, which is way too close. While the course itself isn’t in terrible condition, you’ll never get to properly enjoy all 18 holes because the pace of play is unacceptably slow. My most recent round took six hours, which is completely absurd. I understand this is a public course, but six hours for a round of golf is beyond ridiculous. After two hours on the course, we had only managed to play six holes. At that point, I called the pro shop to report the extreme slow play. They said they would send a marshal out to “check it out.” At some holes there would be three groups waiting to tee off. The marshal did show up and proceeded to simply drive past the groups without saying a word or doing anything to help the situation. Later, we encountered another marshal and mentioned the pace of play, and he actually seemed amused by it rather than concerned. Long story short, I will not play this course again.

Driving range is good, $8 for 34 balls, $11 for 68 balls
