Creek/Miller at Shenvalee Resort

Shenvalee Resort in New Market, Virginia, operates two nine-hole courses—Creek and Miller—that can be combined for an eighteen-hole round. The property sits in the Shenandoah Valley, with the Massanutten Mountains providing a scenic backdrop to the east. Ed Ault, a prolific mid-Atlantic designer known for accessible resort and daily-fee layouts, designed the original course, while Rod Smith contributed additional work to the facility. The courses serve both resort guests and local players in the northern Shenandoah Valley region.

The Creek nine takes its name from the water features that come into play on several holes, typical of Ault's approach to incorporating natural drainage and streams into his routing. The Miller nine offers a complementary set of holes, and together the two nines provide variety in length and challenge suitable for recreational golfers. The terrain is relatively gentle compared to mountain courses elsewhere in Virginia, with fairways moving through valley floor terrain and modest elevation changes.

As a resort facility, Shenvalee emphasizes playability and pace of play over severe difficulty. The course serves as an amenity for the property's lodging and conference operations, and the layout reflects the practical demands of accommodating guests with varying skill levels. The combination of valley setting, mountain views, and straightforward golf makes it representative of Shenandoah Valley resort courses that prioritize accessibility and scenic enjoyment over championship-level challenge.
