Cardinal Golf Club - Blue Course

The 3 separate nines on Fort Lee's course are in the worst shape they have been in in roughly two years. VERY little maintenance is performed on the course outside of mowing. Sprinklers have not been turned on once in six months and the ground is hard as asphalt constantly. Bunkers, tee boxes are in terrible shape. Course is used by mostly retirees and civilians that don't repair ball marks, fix divots or rake bunkers. Until the manager makes an effort to care, stay away if you are looking for a course with good conditions.

The course has a few of fun shots to play. The course isn't overly demanding from a length perspective but does require patience and a methodical approach to score well on.

Web site says call club house and they would walk you through getting through the gate. male answers phone and I ask if he can walk me through the gate pass process says he can not do it .. told to me to call a number it’s busy for a half hour straight and at 3pm it rang and rang and rang and nobody picked up. Tried multiple times till 5 .. web site says open from dusk till dawn.. needles to say our 4 some did not get through the gate to get to golf course. We play once a week all over the state .. will never book a time there again.

Course is always in great shape. Some of the bunkers need some sand in them. Other than that?

Unorganized........shouldn't make 2 players wait for groups of 4

It’s still early spring , so us golfers have to take what we can get , weather wise.that is Greens annd fairways are coming along. . The staff are always diligent no matter what their task is.
Me and my partners will continue to play there.

I’ve played here before during the Summer and Fall. The course is always good in every aspect.
It’s still winter. Greens are still a little hard to putt now but I’m sure will improve with warmer weather. Fairways not quite there yet either.

A Gem in the rough. On Ft Lee property so you must get a gate pass before playing, which keeps the play down a little. The old growth tree on the course are beautiful, they will knock you ball down if you get too close. Greens are receptive to high launched balls, with subtle breaks. We have had a lot of rain the winter and had to play cart path only. Nice driving range and putting greens. And a great kitchen with good food. A nice Pro shop and everyone is friendly.

Bunkers not tended, greens way to long. It is odd that other courses very close by have the same turf on greens and are able to cut them but cardinal can't due to weather change same applies to the bunkers, just because the weather changes doesn't mean do nothing until spring . The four different grasses/weeds are still growing in the greens and are starting to produce seeds to make it worse.

Only reason I play course is for the military community that they forgot the facility is supposed to support. It is a shame they let the conditions of this once amazing course deteriorate to.

The course needs serious attention. Only course that has over grown and no grass fairways at the same time. Crab grass everywhere and getting worse. Slowest greens of any course in a 100 mile radius.

Unfortunately for the last 20 years I've seen this course go down the drain. Crap, POA and weeds growing in the greens. Over grown or bare fairways. Erosion everywhere.

Great course for the money, the course was in good shape and the greens were excellent
