Valley View Golf Club

Your typical Muni golf course, the greens are mowed and the flags set but not much luxury otherwise. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the price is right, which compensates for the lack of extravagance in the facilities. Look to pay around $55 for a round with the cart, or $15 for the cart only if you purchase the season's pass. The views are beautiful with #17 overlooking the City of Utica. The course restaurant, "Daniele's at Valley View" has recently been refurbished and will hopefully begin offering lunch "at-the-turn" again once they get back into operation. There is also an exte…

Slow going with 5 some in front of you.

Such an awesome local golf course and it's city owned. Kept in good shape and offers beautiful views over Utica and a lot of trees and nature all around. I almost always see deer! Highly recommend this spot. Good price for a great spot A

Absolutely gorgeous views! Golf, I can't speak about since I'm not a golfer, however seems to be nice, and people seem to enjoy! Nice quiet place!! If you come please pick up your trash!! Don't come to party, this is a place people like to come and be one with nature.

Not sure why this course only gets a 4.3 rating on Google. Anytime I get a chance to play a Robert Trent Jones I’m all in. This course didn’t disappoint in my expectations. A classic design with an emphasis on accurate approach shots a premium. A good mixture of tight sloping fairways and generously wide fairways on the longer par 4’s and 5’s. Lots of elevation to challenge you. Definitely need to play this course several times to understand where your misses need to be. A poorly played approach shot will challenge the best golfer. The greens are a good mixture of small, medium and large sizes…

Classic Robert Trent Jones course. Built during the depression by the CCC. Lots of character. Too bad it is run by the city of Utica. Lots of issues and politics. I am sure that the locals would dispute this, but it is very public information. If you go to play watch out for the valley view foursomes, could be 6 or 8 people or it could be 10 or 12. No golf etiquette and they will run you over if you are ahead of them, quite poor. All in all though, great layout and a challenge.

I’ve had good times here before but we will unfortunately not be coming back. It’s a nice enough course with good views and holes, but the treatment from the staff has been unacceptable. Don’t bother going if you’re not a pro player. Just to clarify the situation this latest time, my friends played today as a group of 3 along with my friends wife that rode with us but didn’t play. We played through the first 9 keeping a pretty good pace with someone on the hole behind but never kept waiting. Even so we let them skip ahead of us. At the 10th hole we had one of the staff come up to us and tell…

First time golfing here and I wasn’t impressed. They’re in the middle of a huge construction renovation/addition, but that makes things very inconvenient. First up - they don’t take tee time reservations, which strikes me as very odd. Second, there is a porta-John and bathroom trailer on site, but no conventional “indoor” plumbing. Third, I had a good friend visiting from Virginia and he wanted a hat since he had forgotten his and they would only take cash for merchandise, despite the fact that they have a credit card machine; in fact - that’s how he paid for the golf…curious… The course was…

It is a nice place to hang out, host events, and play golf. The course is not well treated and cared for, but it has really good holes for starters and experienced players they have kids' golf events every summer and host East utica there.

The clubhouse guys are diligent in their efforts to keep the carts clean between users. The course is in excellent shape, cuddos to the groundskeeper and his aides. I've enjoyed my season at VV and am sure the Fall will be just as favorable.

Valley View is an excellent layout. At 6400 yards from the white tees it is all the course most players would need. Greens have nice contour and are fun to putt. A great value for the $$!

Valley View golf course is in very nice shape this year and practicing safe distancing and one person per cart. The pace is good there at least with the early morning crowd.
