Having missed out on playing this course several times I managed to get to play it today with a member, therefore the value for money was excellent. The new pro shop is looking excellent and the course itself was immaculate. The course has the most stunning scenery and every hole brings it own new challenge. I got to play it on a day with a smallish breeze which made the course challenging but fair. The greens ran very true the bunkers had gloriously soft sand, they were enjoyable to be in. The last hole was a little bland but from what I can see of the two new holes this course is only going to get better. The par three 14th "Calamity" is a daunting hole and I think that the stroke index may be wrong as it is S.I.16!!! Lovely challenging shot. The fifth hole which is the furthest from the club is the most stunning hole, wish I could play it every day of the week. Can't wait to play it again, especially when the new holes are in play. A course everyone must play.

First 4 holes a bit messy due to work being done on the big course but don't let it put you off, perfect place to play golf.

Played on a very misty day which was a shame so hard to form an opinion. Greens under treatment as they all seemed to be in April, which probably explains the shoulder rate.

Reviewed Apr 30 2015

This is a good links course and would probably be higher rated were it not sat next to the hugely impressive Dunluce. Holes into the wind play extremely long (40mph when we played the following day). The 6th is a brilliant long par 3 into the breeze, although at 235 yards you need to cream that driver, but the downwind par 5s were easily gettable in 2 so it balanced out. Good mix of holes with some nicely elevated tees. If you're coming to play the Dunluce, make some room for this place.

Very testing, tight links course. The greens were a little bit bumpy due to work, but otherwise a great golf challenge.

The Valley course is one of the great Links here in Ireland, sometimes over shadowed by its big brother but a truer test of your game will be hard to find. It has everything, beautiful greens, tight fairways, fair but punishing rough
