Shenvalee Golf Resort

"Diamond in the rough. I have to really laugh at the entitled snow flakes that are so impatient. They are so worried about just rushing through their round so they can be a story topper in the bar. Always a good experience here."

"Beautiful old hotel and gold resort located in the town of New Market, Virginia. Rooms are comfortable. Grille is a nice place to grab a meal. Good ores and great service. Located close to interstate 81 and many location attractions. Highly recommend."

"After reading this, I know it sounds salty, but I'm just advocating for what you once had at the Shenvalee. Please bring it back! "Very disappointed with The Shenvalee" For years, the Shenvalee has been a course that was moderately priced and was a regular destination for this reason. The course, which is usually in good shape, is not a challenging course and is great for beginners or for anyone to just enjoy an easier, relaxing track. For some reason this year...new clubhouse?, inflation?, greed?, they decided to increase rates significantly. Weekend rates are now $60 and weekday rates are $50!!! Just last year, I was able to get afternoon tee times there for $25 - $30. And now they're $40 (oh, $35 after 5PM when you might not finish in the shorter months of the year). Everyone understands that price increases are inevitable, but wow!!! The thing that has always set this course apart for me and many others was that it catered to golfers that didn't want to pay $75 at courses like a Bryce Resort or Massanutten Greens. I used to say, this course was fantastic because "they knew how to turn a profit because they know how to get lots of people to come out and play." AND they did it by having rates that were affordable and matched the level of the course difficulty and layout. Well, I can't say that anymore, and I am playing other alternatives now. Thanks for ruining something that you've been known for for many years. The next thing you know, the membership prices will be gone and it will be another exclusive country club in the Shenandoah Valley (which might be what some of the "members" are trying to do). Oh, by the way, while all golf prices have increased and it is quickly becoming a "rich person's sport," here are some other options at nearby courses that are the same price or cheaper but with longer, more modern challenging course layouts (18 holes with cart). Lakeview Golf Course - M-TH - $46 F-S $53 Caverns Country Club - M-F - $30; S/S $40 (the Range Shenvalee used to and should be) Heritage Oaks M-TH - $53; F-S - $58 Of course, if people continue to pay the rates, why would they ever lower the price. Well, for now, I will save a few bucks per round and go elsewhere. And it really does sadden me to say this as I used to enjoy going there 20 - 25 times per year as part of my 100-150 rounds of golf I normally play each year. Here's to hoping (and I sincerely mean this) you'll change back to that nice, rural golf course you've always been, but probably not. It looks like $$$ you want to be like a "Northern Virginia" course...nothing special and expensive."

"Great place to relax and have great conversations. Many people play golf every day here on weekdays and weekends. It has an excellent restaurant and the hotel is cozy and clean. The staff is friendly and the pool is nice even though it's a little pricey."

"Gorgeous!! What a diamond in the rough... pun intended. Excellent room and service. My mountain view from my balcony was amazing. Would recommend to anyone... golfer or not! The food in the Miller Grille was great, service excellent. Will definitely return."
