Flat terrain in the South Branch Valley. No surprises, no climbs. Five par-3s and four par-5s give the routing variety, even if the topography doesn't. From the blues at 6,236 yards with a 121 slope, there's more teeth here than the forward tees suggest. Bermuda fairways play firm in summer. The West Virginia heat will slow you down. Valley View won't test your legs, just your patience if you're stuck behind a slow group. Bring water. Walk early if July humidity bothers you.
