Needs Time to Get Back in Shape

I had played the course a few years ago and really enjoyed it then but unfortunately it seems to be really struggling now. The layout of the course could be interesting but, and I hate to be so blunt, the fairways, tee boxes, and greens all are in terrible condition. Nearly every green seems to be dying and the tee boxes are some of the worse I have ever seen. With all of the mild temperatures so far and decent rainfall I was shocked by the conditions. Even muni courses I have played recently are in great shape due to the mild June we have had in the region.

Also, regarding the layout, I would hope they would consider providing a course map to players due to all of the blind shots. I was glad I took a cart and had my phone with me because for a couple holes I had to use google maps satellite view or drive the cart halfway down the hole to have any idea of where the green was.

I'll give it a few more years before I drive all the way out to play this course again.

Great course - will play again if in the area again

This is a great course. I wish it were closer to DC but I would recommend this course to anyone when they are going to be near Stafford, VA. The greens were in good shape and the overall course is kept in very good condition.

Expected Better

This course could be a hidden gem but unfortunately the back nine is in bad condition. The front looked and played great but the back had burnt greens, shoddy tee-boxes, and seems to be battling water grass on nearly all of the fairways. Also, most of the traps were like parking lots - the drainage is not working and needs to be repaired. The layout is interesting but I'll wait a few years before considering playing again. If they improved the conditions this would easily be a great course.

Plan to return

This is one of the nicer public courses in the area even though it is a little far from the city. For a first round it is quite tough due to some blind shots and some possibly mislabeled distance markers. I wish they would provide some better details of the course for first time players but overall a great course in very good condition. I look forward to playing this course again.
