The par 5′s are quite long like the 17th hole pictured above, from the blue tees all par 5 holes are over 500 yards. The 17th is 509 yards from the blues but with a tough dog leg left. The actual turn wouldn’t be so difficult if it weren’t for the single tree at the turn’s right hand side. Even a good drive with a draw flight path for right hander, the tree is right there to help knock it down.

This course grabs you from the beginning right from the first tee box you can see the lush green grass and large water hazards. As pictured below from the 1st tee box, you can’t even see the green that is about 100 yards behind the big tree by the white stake on the right side of the water. The greens are well protected by hazards and foliage through out the course, great examples are holes 2, 7, and the 15th.

The first tee at Valley View Golf Course

Once you get your score card (pictured below) you’ll notice that it shows the 6 different pin placement sections for each green and has a basic map for each hole. It is a great reference from your pocket as you play. Before the 1st tee box, next to the practice green is a sign that tells you today’s pin placement, as seen below.

Along with the scorecard each cart is fitted with a course map explaining each hole. Itâ€™s very helpful when determining whether to lay up or to try and go for the green. Being able to see each hole helps so much when it comes to club selection. You can find yourself easily misjudging the distance, because of height differences and hazard sizes.

The mountain views are breath taking, as you can see pictured above the view at the 18th green of Valley View. It seems the ball will fall off the mountain side, like a few holes at South Mountain, if you hit long on your approach shot. The 18th hole is 440 yards from the Blue tees slightly turning right, a good drive with a slight fade ball flight will leave you in perfect position to approach the green.

The 15th hole (above left) is a very tough par four if you end on the right hand side of the fairway. Landing on the right side leaves you little choice but to go over the water to reach the green. The water is reachable for big hitters so you have to be careful of the distance.

This course is challenging but not just for the lower handicappers, all levels of golfers can appreciate the views, conditions and level of play at Valley View in Utah.
