Apple Valley Golf Course, Howard, Ohio



We tried to golf this course on Monday but got rained out. We were only able to do 3 holes...it was just drizzling but very cold and windy. The clubhouse gave us a raincheck with no problem and we golfed there today. It was still cold but we were better prepared...cuddle duds, winter gloves, etc. The course was very, very wet...I don't think I've every golfed on a wetter course...and was cart path only. I liked the course - even though it was a bit side by side. The holes were nicely set up, nice mix of dog legs, water and sand. Some of the fairways were a bit narrow but not many. The par 3s were nice, long but not too long. The women's tee boxes were nice and the greens were OK, a bit fast. It was hard to tell about the fairway conditions because it was so wet but they appeared to be in good shape for so early in the season. I didn't see any bathrooms so I'm going to assume they'll have port-a-potties out. There was no cart girl, which was OK, but when we went in at the turn we asked for coffee and were told there was none. We asked could they make it and were told no...just no! We got hot chocolate, which was good, and asked for Bailey's...none of that either! Got Kahlua, which was good in the hot chocolate. I just couldn't believe they said they wouldn't make coffee - it doesn't seem you should say that to customers. We had sandwiches, which they made fresh and were quite good. Would golf here again...in nicer weather of course!
