Mission Valley at Mission Valley Golf & Country Club

Mission Valley Golf & Country Club sits in Nokomis, a small community along Florida's Gulf Coast between Sarasota and Venice. Designed by David Wallace, the course occupies relatively flat terrain typical of the region, with routing that incorporates natural water features and native vegetation common to southwestern Florida. The layout reflects the practical design approach of its era, balancing playability for a range of skill levels with strategic interest through water hazards and bunkering.

The course serves a residential community and operates primarily as a semi-private facility, welcoming both members and outside play. Wallace's design makes use of the site's natural drainage patterns, with several holes playing alongside or across water that functions both as hazard and visual element. The flat topography means elevation change is minimal, placing emphasis on accurate approach shots and course management around the water features that define many holes.

The club maintains a relaxed, community-oriented atmosphere typical of Florida's Gulf Coast golf communities. Nokomis itself lies just inland from the barrier islands and beaches that characterize this stretch of coastline, and the course benefits from the temperate climate that allows year-round play. The facility includes practice areas and dining amenities that serve the local membership and seasonal visitors who frequent the area during winter months.
