Complete review Fort Lee golf.
I must note that I am an active duty military member that plays here often as I live just down the road. So the White Nine has much more character than the Red despite being built around the same time. Two summers ago now the greens were switched from Bent to Bermuda. There are some early rough spots on the greens as well which is unfortunate considering how new they are. The green on Number 1 is the worst by far not just on the White but throughout all 27 holes here. Hopefully things will begin to grow in the bare areas because that is really the only blight on the White 9. This is another good course here for beginners as it is an easy walk and there are really on three difficult holes of the nine. More than a few of the tee boxes are thin on grass and rock hard. Just wish they would take some trees out around some of the boxes and then the grass would grow back in thicker. The par 5 seventh hole is reachable in 2 with a better than average drive. The par 4 sixth you will want to hit about 200 yard off the tee to be in the best approach situation. Don't let your tee shot on the par 5 ninth stray right or you risk being in the water that separates that hole from the number 5 on the Blue course. All in all the 27 holes at Fort Lee are all unique to each other. It is a good place for the beginner to intermediate to hone their skills as none of the nines are overwhelming. There is a unique short game practice area nestled between the White and Red nines. The driving range is mats only and there are two practice putting greens. The staff is friendly and will accommodate getting you out to play if you don't have a tee time. For the military member that likes to play I am not sure you can beat the value that you will get here compared to other courses in the area that only offer a military rate M-Th or M-F.
This Course is a good value
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.
Staff completely rude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
All good except bunkers
Course is always in great shape. Some of the bunkers need some sand in them. Other than that?
Start times
Unorganized........shouldn't make 2 players wait for groups of 4
Always a pleasure
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.
Worth your time
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.
Built in 1948
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.
Same old, same old
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.
No visible change
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.
Changes needed
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.
Once good course
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.
Old school course
Great course for the money, the course was in good shape and the greens were excellent
