Promising
Greens were slow and bumpy and rough was a little high.
There was no second cut along the fairways or around the greens.
Pretty course - with possibilities.
Tee boxes need work - difference between blue and gold (senior) were often way to close together.
Get the greens cut and rolling.
Could be a gem if the greens were even average.
So far, they aren’t.

A work in process
Interesting layout. Conditions mediocre currently, but they are putting money into the course. Hopefully Mercer County will bring conditions up to their other courses.

Unnecessarily difficult to play
Many issues:
1) The hard-core sales pitch to buy a membership before playing the course for the 1st time
2) Cart path only on a 95 degree bone-dry day. Absolutely no reason for cart path only.
3) Extremely high and unplayable rough
4) Greens very slow; like putting through fog. Incredibly slow
The course could be very nice but the operators chose to make it almost unplayable. Not a fun day.
Don't waste your money. Play anywhere else

Cut the rough
Cut the rough and the tees- it’s like hitting tee shots out of the rough.

More than I thought it would be
Never played this course before I really didn’t know about it I guess Mercer county took it over and it is a great course really enjoyed it, and the people working there were so nice especially Keith I believe was the starter and also Spring the lady inside was outstanding friendly ,nice so professional ,play this course you’ll enjoy it r.Greens pretty good coming back from aeration fairways in very good shape Teebox is pretty good and they cut the rrough so you can find your ball if you hit it into it very good
Course needs to be cut, greens, fairways and "US Open " rough !!

Thank you for playing Hopewell Valley Golf & Country Club. We hope to see you again soon.
Mow the grass, Please!!
Course is undergoing a lot of work which is understandable - only a minor inconvenience. The fairways were perfect and greens are in good shape. The BIG problem with this course is that as soon as you are off a fairway or a green the grass is absurdly high. If your ball goes just a few feet off the fairway, its probably lost. You will however find a lot of other balls in the rough from previous golfers who obviously gave up trying to find them. High grass around greens makes chipping very difficult.

A Tale of Nuances
Rough was rather longer and thicker than anticipated. Greens were also a bit lackluster. Course design spectacular however. Very good value!

Poorly maintained
The course is undergoing much refurbishment so there was a lot of torn up earth all around. The cart paths are far from the fairways and greens so if it’s cart path only be prepared to do a lot of walking. On the day we played the roughs around the green were super high and very difficult to chip from. Even the second cut along the fairways were so high that it was difficult to find your ball. Don’t know if this is normal or due to the wet conditions.

Great course/Great people
Starter was very accommodating! Pro shop guy friendly too. Beautifully manicured course with some undergoing improvements. 9.5 out of 10!
Inconsiderate
Booked a 3:50 hot deal. Arrived on the first tee to discover a kids league ahead of us whom required 30 mins per hole and we’re playing 9 holes. I left before reaching the first green and there were groups lining up to tee off behind us as well. I love kids but there should not be groups going off behind them on a weekend
High Quality Golf course
It was very good with my two sons. They want come back to play next time. Absolutely it was high quality golf course.
What a shame!
What a shame! Very unpleasant and stupbborn staff including thé “so called “général manager”. My husband who could not play because of a golf elbow has not been allowed to walk on the golf course with me although not only we offered to pay for an additional fee but we also offered to sign a disclaimer (liability discharge)). Two weeks ago, we did not have that issue and we spent a great time , the reason why we came back to this golf course- for the last time….Never seen such unfriendly golf staff. They made our day a very bad day……but may be, this is what this team wanted to achieve.

Please contact us directly at the pro shop. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
The Staff!
The course is has come such a long way since the county took over. Every time I play here the condition improves, and I see maitenance/groundskeeping actively working to achieve just that. I also don’t think you could have a friendlier more welcoming staff, from the front desk, to the starters/rangers, absolute class. This has become one of my favorite places to play in this area, and I am excited to see it further progress.
