It's a decent course located on the Southwest side of Colorado Springs. The Staff are nice and friendly.

If you enjoy playing golf for 6.5 hours then this is your spot. Course on the week days are decent. Not too bad of a wait except for twilight rounds. However the past 2 weekends have been awful. I am fully aware that this is a municipal course and times are going to be a bit slower. However, the club house had two groups ahead of mine that simply could not keep up and course marshal was no where to be seen. Then they allowed another group to start on the back 9 ahead of us making the turn which increased wait times even more. I waited no less than 20 minutes to tee off on each hole and the second shot. It’s a public/municipal course but it needs to be managed better. Multiple players were forced to leave the course early simply because it was too long of a wait. Price is a bit high for the course too. Bar/restaurant are great. And staff is friendly

I JUST started golfing. I had literally never played a single hole on a golf course until yesterday afternoon. I had been to Valley High one other time to use the driving range. My buddy and I asked the staff when a good time would be for people who don't know how to golf to get on the course and take our time. The gentleman said when it starts to get cold and on week days. So we chose a Tuesday afternoon on a 45°F day. There was NOBODY else there but for a few pairs well ahead of us on the front 9, and 1 pair was set for tee time at 3pm. We let them go ahead of us from the start. Everything was peachy. We started at 2:30pm. We were getting to the 7th hole at about 4:20pm when the cart guy came barreling down the fairway to tell us we were taking too long and to HURRY IT UP. I told him this is quite literally my first time golfing, so it's not going great/quick. He made some snarky remarks but, he backed off a bit. He still insisted that if we take 4-5 shots and don't make it to the hole, to move on. Now, it's on me for not checking what time they close up at, but given this is my FIRST TIME on a golf course, I would've appreciated some patience and courtesy on this gentleman's part. We were having a great time, and really making MUCH better time than I had expected until he came down on us. We got the cart back to him at 5:02pm. As we were driving out of the parking lot, we saw another pair on the back 9 taking their time. Who knows if he gave them as hard a time as he gave us, but this interaction really put a damper on my first day of golfing. That guy needs to chill. I feel all he needed to do was let us know that he'd appreciate if we got the cart back by 5pm. We would've moved along and done that for him. Instead, he held us up to tell us how we're taking too long. Aside from this, everyone inside has been pleasant and very helpful.
