Spring Valley is a public course situated at an elevation of 6400 feet. The course is situated on rolling hills and is laid out on both sides of Running Creek lined with 75 year old, giant cottonwood trees.

Running Creek winds through this traditional course set in Spring Valley. Native vegetation along the creek affects play on a number of holes. The front nine is open, while the back nine is heavily treed with mature cottonwoods. The greens are medium-sized with moderate undulation.

The signature hole is No. 17, a 205 yard par 3. An elevated tee plays down through a tree-lined fairway to a green fronted by a creek. There is room behind the green, but don't be short.

Your best chance for a birdie would be on No. 5, a 520 yards, par 5. This is a downhill hole that is open off the tee. The wide landing area allows long hitters to go for the green in two. Lack of trouble around the green lets a long second shot roll on.

There are no restrictions on public play. Carts are not required, although they are restricted to the cart paths when used. Walking is allowed and pull carts are available.
