Valley Lodge Golf Course Tee Times

Track is wide open and you can really work on your game here without spending a lot of money on green fees. Greens are soft and slow but in good shape except for 10. You can tell there starting to maintain course better. Wish the city would invest a little more funds because in my opinion it could really be a good track more golfers would play and enjoy.

Have I played worse courses? Yes. Was this one of the best? No. I picked up a hot deal tee time on Wednesday for a Sunday morning 10a tee time for $25 per player. If I would have waited until the day of it would have been $15. The course and round was worth about $15. Check in was good. Pace of play was okay. It wasn't to busy overall. Course was dormant and the greens weren't the best. My buddy and I look at it as an experience. We try to play new courses. I would not recommend coming unless you are close like us traveling to Winstar. If you can find some cheap tee times, stop in. If you are wanting the best in the area, I really enjoyed The Bridges, about a one hour drive from Gainesville Municipal Golf. Take it for what it is, a Municipal Golf Course.

The course is better shape than has been in a long time. I've been playing this course for at least 20yrs. But there is a young man that works there that is quite rude. Seems like he hates life. We brought the carts back at 5:38 & he told me I need to find another golf course. That guy going to have a lot of revenue ran off.

We haven't played Gainesville in years so our group decided to give it a try. We were fairly impressed from the check in until the end of the round. The greens were nice and soft, fairways were still in good shape and staff was good. I first played the course over 40 years ago, so it has nostalgia and memories. The course was fairly busy but only took 4 hrs for our foursome to play. If you're in the area I would recommend a round.

I have played this course multiple times. Enjoyed it in the past even if it isn't the nicest of courses. Brought a couple buddies to play here for the first time. Had a fun round until we got to the last hole. I guess the late shift marshal started his shift and decided to be extremely rude to the customers. Morning marshal had no issues with us all day and we saw him multiple times. We were putting and the marshal comes out to yell at us for parking by the green. By the green I mean a good 10-15 yards off the green behind the hole where there is no part of a course or a hole. He hypocritically drove up to our carts to tell us not to park where he was currently parked. Told us "you are gone" like he had warned us all day for this or something. Needless to say we wont be back. Not due to the course quality or price but due to this one idiot who has some sort of little man syndrome. There are plenty of options to play at other courses for us in Sherman/Denison and believe me we will not go out of our way to drive to Gainesville ever again. Maybe next time I will just park on the large sand trap they have in the middle of the green where we are supposed to be putting. If they keep this kind of person on staff this course will be nothing but an afterthought in the near future. EDIT: Changed my review to 5 stars. The marshal mentioned in my above review is now gone. We have played at this course many times this year and it has always been a positive experience. The guys working the proshop/grounds are really nice and manage the course well.
