Copper Valley Golf Club - Copperopolis, California

Excellent course nestled in the foothills. Well
Maintained with nice carts and beautiful greens.

Only issue is lack of service on the course and extreme lack of options while at the clubhouse. I’d bring your own drinks and food as it’s scarce out there.

On 11/30/22, I enjoyed my first round a Copper Valley (CV) with a buddy. The course was in good condition with many positive and only a few negatives. The course is located in beautiful rolling hills and with the fall colors in play the day was a visual delight.

The positives included several clean restrooms peppered around the course, well maintained fairways and greens (which were fast), and tee boxes were in good shape for the most part. Also, the cart navigation was cool and included radio with Country music.

Being in the foothills, it is interesting to manage shots with the left/right slopes in the fairways. I hit several shots to the left, hoping they would hit the hill and then roll down into the fairway, which they did. If you enjoy that kind of frustration, this course is for you. 🙂

The negatives were several sand traps that needed maintenance. I wondered why most were in great shape but some were neglected. Maybe some follow-up my management on the grounds crew?
In the winter, the course uses a shotgun start process after 10am to avoid frost delays. The downside was that we got a little backed up at times. Also, after we rounded the 18th and went to the 1st tee, the GPS said we had exceeded our round, but I think it is a setting in the GPS they can turn off to accommodate shotgun starts (not everyone starts at 1 and finishes on 18).

Overall a great experience. I am looking forward to returning.

Beautiful course and excellent accommodations. The bungalow was clean and spacious. The staff did everything they could to make our stay wonderful. The course was challenging but fun. We hope to return for another weekend getaway.

Nice clubhouse, and the course was pretty good. However it was October, so the fairways and greens we're a bit pock marked. Picturesque surroundings though, and the staff was polite and helpful.

Fabulous green(s) in the middle of Northern CA, the food at Veronas 19 is truly underrated! 5 Star! The owners are active and has signatured their menu!
Enjoy lunch or dinner or an entertainment event...you will return to this hidden gem!
A beautiful setting!

Copper Valley Golf Resort is a special place with iconic sunset views. It's not just for golf! When you rent a bungalow you have access to the Sports Center with pickleball, swimming pool, jacuzzi, fitness room, bocce, and BBQs. We had a blast playing pickleball and swimming. The bungalow front desk staff is amazing and made sure we had a great stay. Highly recommend for a family vacation!!

READ ALL: First of all, I want to know who these people are that rated this course above 2 stars in the last 6 months. This course used to be one of the top courses in Northern California. for many years. This past year it has taken a massive change for the worse. NONE of the Bunkers are maintained. Many lack enough sand and have the felt exposed in multiple spots. The fairways are HORRIBLE. I had to clean mud off my ball on almost every hole. We even lost two balls in fairways because they plugged deep. Each fairway has massive amounts of mud in various locations. Other portions of the fairways are dry and dead. There are invasive species of grass now on every fairway. Absolutely horrendous shape. The tee boxes are not maintained either. Restrooms do not have running water in the sinks. Never been to a course in such bad shape. There is no way there is a paid Superintendent on staff. If so, they need to fire him immediately. DO NOT PAY $115 to play this course. You will feel ripped off. It's in worse shape than many local $50 muni's. I will not be back.
