Poor course conditioning

I realize that it's early spring, but the course looked more like a construction site than the photos on the web site. The site indicated that aeration took place in late February, but the course looked more like the aeration took place a week ago. The areas around the greens are in various states of repair also.

i appreciate the course layout, but there are unmber of blind tee shots. Finally, to get to the practice range, you are directed to drive past holes one and two. The directions for returning from the range (for those who listened to directions) take you up a sidewalk and down the road and into the parking area of the club. While not ideal, wouldn't it be better to have people take that route both ways, avoiding the disruption of players on holes one and two?

Monday round

Love this course but the greens were still a little bumpy from the aerification 7/10 days prior to be charging 95 in my opinion.
Rough was chunky as well...
Still beats a day at work.

Overpriced

Beautiful layout. Course was in great shape despite the aerated greens. Range has crappy mats to hit off of. Practice green is too small. Saw cart girl once in 18 holes. There is no turn, so you can’t get beverages at the clubhouse. No video screens in the carts. Great course but overpriced.

Interesting Layout

The course is in great condition. The one critique I have for the course condition is the second cut on the greens need better trimming; it was inconsistent and no defined borders around the greens. This course has no halfway house so you have to wait for the drink cart but there was only one out when I played so you could go over an hour without seeing it again. Make sure you grab what you need before heading out. This is not a course you can walk due to the layout. The holes are far apart from green to next tee for a lot of the holes, but I like it cause you aren’t bothered by others on either the teebox or green.

Expected Better

Perfect day to play golf. Course was in great shape but pace of play, not starting on time, not having some kind of snack or something at the turn. We only saw cart lady after the first 9 holes and didn't see her again. Probably won't play here again for the cost. Better values with just as good conditions are out there.

One of the best courses right outside Northern Virginia. Well worth the price, considering how expensive other courses are becoming.

Terrible pace of play at nice course

Course itself is in good shape and has a great layout, but a 5.5hr round on a Friday morning is unacceptable. There were 4 groups waiting to tee off on 1 and the tee times seemed to be stacked every 5 mins, not allowing for any spacing between groups. Ranger and pro shop didn’t seem to care.
