Played on Saturday and took 5.5 hours which we had to wait on every hole. Didn't see any marshal on the course to speed up play. Greens are fast and great along with the fairways. Some of the traps need more sand as I found enough of them,overall was fun, just slow.

Biggest fairways I have ever played. Never a level lie, HUGE traps and bunkers. When you get to the greens, "let the fun begin." Fast, Fast, FAST... lots of 3 and 4 putts. Finally got down to two putts. Tough course, worth the price. This course should be on your must play list.

This course is way over rated. The greens are very thin and scarred. They were not consistent in pace.

This is a great links style course. It is fair but demanding.

Playing this course in the late afternoon afforded me the opportunity to take some great photos and see the wild grasses turn from dusty brown to a autumn gold. The great layout of this course takes you on an adventure with huge bunkering forming the way to play this course. Even in the 105 degree temperature the slight breeze let you be in touch with nature and your surroundings. This was truly "ZEN" golf at its best. I would put Wine Valley on your bucket list of Northwest courses to play before your done playing.
