I just wrapped up a four-day golf package here, and the only reason this place scrapes by with two stars is the solid 27-hole track. The course itself is genuinely nice and the main reason anyone should book. Everything else? A major letdown for the price. The lodging was horrendous at $200 a night. We were put in an ant-infested house with uncomfortable single army-style beds and just one bathroom for the group. Ants were everywhere--covering the stove and crawling inside the refrigerator. When we reported it to the front desk, they seemed completely apathetic. No urgency, no real solution, just shrugs. The on-site Miller restaurant delivered some of the worst service I've experienced at any resort. Our waitress didn't get a single part of any order correct during the entire four-day stay. It was comically bad. Look, if you're coming for the golf, you'll enjoy the course. But I'd strongly recommend finding lodging elsewhere. Unfortunately in Newmarket, options are limited, so just go in with low expectations for everything off the fairway. read more

I stayed in for two nights and to be honest it does not look like the pictures they have on the website, is a pretty basic place. The customer service at reception was good tho but the place itself is not what I was expecting; the beds were clean and made but there was no shampoo or conditioner, no body cream or nothing like that (usually provided by the hotels) only really cheap bars of soap. The place by itself does not look clean enough for customer eyes, the towels were thrown out of the rooms on the floors all day. Also the outside part of the rooms in general are not presentable at all. I was a little disappointed, was not what I had in mind. read more

I was a housekeeper that just recently quit because they have bed bugs and wont do a thing about it. After multiple complaints from customers and co-workers about seeing and getting bit by the bed bugs the company still never did anything about it. They never called in for an exterminator they just changed the sheets and let someone else go in the room right after. I have pictures and videos of what rooms the bed bugs were in. Room 271 and 272 are FULL of bed bugs and 276 are full of flying ants yet they won't call an exterminator. Just wanted to let customers know the truth about shenvalee before they stay there and bring the bugs home. read more

Shenvalee Golf Resort - Bed bug found in room 259 - Golf Near Me - New Market, Virginia

This motel is very dated. The beds and pillows are acceptable. The bathrooms are terrible and one must adopt the attitude I can survive any motel for a night or two. No bedbugs was a plus. The cleaning crew was friendly and did a good job. Plenty of nice towels. There was a portable dehumidifier running which was noisy. Most of the customers are golfers because they have a nice golf course. The motel selection in Mew Market is very limited, as are the eating establishments. We will stay here again as the other choices are worse. read more

Shenvalee is still a favorite, but goodness...this course has lost its fairways. Spoke with a marshall during my round there last week (9/28), and learned that for some reason...money or water supply...they had to choose between their greens and fairways. They decided on the former, as you can always grow grass on fairways but not so much on the greens. Good choice - the greens (and traps) were in excellent shape, but really it was not enjoyable seeing shots roll through and off dead fairways, and looking to be in the rough to get any kind of good lie at all. It's been a long, hot summer, so it isn't entirely fair to bust on the course after playing it so late in the season, but I've seen so much better at Shenvalee. I'm sure it will be back next year, but this fall....maybe look somewhere else. read more

Was staying in Luray VA 8-11 July, and decided to try to play by myself on Saturday 10 July. They were having the Club Championship and were very busy, but the staff/starter were VERY pleasant and without hesitation got me off on the Creek Course with three members that verbally jousted with me like I had been a member there forever. At the turn, they paired me up with a local player and his son on the Olde Course, and enjoyed the camaraderie with them every bit as much as the members. Both courses were in super shape. Putts rolled as read, there were no bad lies or bald spots in the fairways, and they layout was such that I considered each hole a mini-adventure to be tamed. It was challenging but scorable if you kept the ball in play. To Scratch, William, and Jeffery, thanks for the fun front nine! read more

There was a golf party at the pool very loud at midnight. My room was right next to it. So it was hard to sleep. The bed was comfy. The bathroom was dirty and the wash clothes were also not clean read more

This is a nice motor lodge and golf course to boot. If you eat at the Southern Kitchen around the corner you have the authentic Howard Johnson experience. The rooms are clean and cheap. Park your car out front and leave unlocked. Dogs are welcome too. The pool is nice and clean so ask for pool side room. read more

The Shenvalee Golf Resort is a hidden treasure for golfers who want excellent golf, gorgeous scenery, and an easy one and a half hour drive to the Shen. Valley town of New Market. Veteran golf pro and top teacher Glenn Payne oversees this very affordable location a world away from the beltway. The property was founded in 1926 (be sure to read the rich history on their website.) The course was officially opened for play in 1927 by the Bobby Jones, pics to prove it! A century later there are three nines to string together a diverse golf experience. The courses have everything thanks to the topography, design, and excellent care of the course by the GM & friendly staff. The aptly named original nine is called the Olde course. It has the gently rolling terrain typical of several nearby Shenandoah valley course with beauty and challenge awaiting. The newer nines (Creek & Miller,) have a few more dramatic elevation changes and some very unique holes. I found the hole that could be played as a par 3 or par 4 the most interesting. Depending on your choice of tees, it is a long dogleg left with a tee shot guaranteed to make you pucker, or a par three from a tee near the par four landing area. The Creek course is the most bucolic, meandering along the lazy Smith Creek. For quality golf at a bargain price, Shenvalee cannot be beaten. read more
