Been playing this course for years and generally feel lucky to have such a well maintained city owned course. However, lately they are keeping the rough (especially the green-side roughs) far too long. It’s very easy to lose a ball 5-10 yards from the green because they sink into the deep rough. It’s clear they are mowing because cut grass is everywhere, but they are keeping it far too long. Please go back to the old policy on rough height!

Growing up in San Francisco, I consider myself a city girl. I never thought I would love the country and weather I found at Paradise Valley Estates. After taking care of my mother in her home during her final 3.5 years, we decided we did not want to burden our children with that. Moving here was a gift to both our children and each other. We now have peace of mind that we have been responsible for our health now and higher level of care when we will need it. Our kids are grateful and their friends are envious because Mom and Dad are busy with lots of new friends and fun activities (lectures, learning Spanish). Pickle ball has become my favorite sport along with yoga, balance class, line and square dancing plus meditation We always lived in a condo apartment in SF. Now we have a patio home that is all on one level with a front and back yard of grass and plants. Paradise Valley estates is a secure gated community with lots of land for beautiful walks (75 acres). Best move we ever made in our mid 70’s. My husband is a vet, and we use Travis Air Force Base often. If we want a city “fix”, we hop on the Vallejo Ferry (safe, clean, run by the Coast Guard; arrives at the Ferry Building in SF). The spirit at PVE is happy, friendly and welcoming. The best thing about PVE is the vibrant people. Staff and residents say don’t wait, come now while you can enjoy it. They are so right! Susie P

Just had a beautiful walk from my house over to dinner where they served us the sirloin strip steak and it was wonderful. As we walked home we saw friends walking their dogs in the wonderful comfortable evening air and everything in the world seem good with all the beautiful trees and flowers surrounding our homes

We have been very happy living here. Living spaces are generously sized and well designed, and there is a wide variety of sizes and layouts; the setting is lovely, with views of hills and the nearby golf course; there are far more activities than any one person can participate in, and more can be developed to meet interests as they arise; the food is plentiful, varied, and delicious, with vegan and vegetarian options, and multiple dining venues from formal dining to quick pickup meals; and there is a working emphasis on health, wellness and fitness for all here, staff and residents alike. Of course there are more plusses, like music activities including a chorale, huge resident participation in bocce teams, opportunities to help other residents, learn from in-house and outside experts who come to do presentations on a wide variety of topics, and being able to meet interesting, friendly people every day. The best aspect of living here for me is that people are friendly and helpful. It’s an attitude we cultivate and it makes living here very pleasant.

My husband and I moved here in 2021. We love it! The campus is beautiful, and LARGE (75 acres). I love our cottage. But it’s the people who make this place so wonderful. Residents are well traveled and interesting. The staff is so friendly, always waving and saying hello. PVE is conveniently located between Sacramento and San Francisco and Napa Valley wine country. Although, there are some excellent wineries within a few miles of here. Paradise Valley golf course is across the street from us, but some homes are right on the course with great views!
