Shocked

The course was not in good condition. The greens were burnt in several places. The fairways were spotty at best. This course used to be wonderful. I have no idea what happened.

Greens are their best feature

The greens are very nice. Fairways definitely need some work. Staff was friendly. Pace of play was acceptable.

Great greens as always

I have played here many times over the years and Bristow is always challenging. Their greens roll true and are always in great shape not matter the time of year.

Impressed

For this time of year I thought this course was in great condition. The greens were a little slow but rolled wonderfully. Very easy to walk. I can't wait to go back.

"Wow" but not a good "Wow"

I have played this course maybe 30 times over the past 10 years and I can honestly say I have never seen it in this condition. The fairways had almost no grass. The tee boxes are horrible. The sand traps weren't much better. If I could rate my experience lower than one full star, I would. Maybe 1/3 of a star. It really was a disappointment for a course that used to be a pleasure to play.

Worth my time

I'm out of town from Virginia and wanted to play a reasonably priced course in Tampa. Heritage fit like a glove. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The course layout is nice and the conditions were very above average for this price point ($43). I will definitely play this course again when I return. I highly recommend.

Very nice but overpriced

I loved the course. It was very challenging but fair. The overall conditions for this time of year was well above average. The greens were quick and rolled true. They're huge so enough club on approaches. With all that being said, this course should not be $70 at 12:45. IMO it shouldn't even be $70 at 7am.

Slow

The course was in good condition but the very slow pace of play (with a Marshall driving around) made the experience regrettable. Also for a course that only plays 6300 yards from the tips there is no reason to have a 250 yard par 3. I will not be going back.

Surprised

I have played this course a few times in the past and was never overly impressed with the conditions. This time I was blown away with how nice everything was. All aspects of the course was very, very good. I highly recommend.

Good test

This is a very challenging course. The fairways were great as always but the greens left a little to be desired. This course is always fun and a good test.

Not for me

The course is in pretty good condition. I have nothing bad to say about the conditions. The whole layout and gimmicks are just not for me.

Not in great condition

Staff was very friendly...no complaints there. The tee boxes were awful. The fairways are firm and fast and the greens were better than average.

Not even worth $22.00

This was one of the worst courses I have ever played. The layout is nice but the course conditions are horrible. There is no driving range...the putting green doesn't have holes...the fairways are terrible. ..the tee boxes are no better. There is no pro shop to speak of. If I had to pay the standard rate of $47 I would asked for a refund. Also the course is not clearly marked....no hazard or OB stakes. They offer no yardage book and the score card does not have pictures of the holes....NEVER AGAIN.

Well, this is certainly not the type of review we like to see. A few items of clarification are in order. When you checked in, I met with you outside and verbally gave you and your wife the layout of the course and hazards to look out for as this was your first visit to Rapidan. I showed you the aerial map of the course with the hole layouts that is located on every cart. We have yardage stakes on all holes but par threes at 100, 150 and 200 yards..

I also met with you at the turn and again at the completion of your round and discussed your thoughts as we always appreciate honest feedback. None of the issues you state were mentioned. I would have liked to discuss them with you at that time. Many of the items you state above (driving range, putting green, pro shop, yardage books) do not affect course conditions and playability.

Our putting green does not have holes. This keeps the green in better condition yet still we have pin markers on the putting green. It is very easy to tell if your putt was accurate enough to hole out or not.

The fairways at Rapidan are Bremudagrass. This type grass does not green up fully until late May. Our fairways have complete coverage, just not fully greened up as of yet.

Not sure what you are looking for in a pro shop. We carry all the basics any golfer would need for a round of golf. We are a small public course. We do not sell golf club sets, shoes or a wide array of merchandise. It is impossible for any club to carry a full pro shop and compete with online retailers and Dick's Sporting Goods.

I am disappointed that you did not enjoy your round or discuss your thoughts with me that day however I believe this review is a bit harsh. I would be happy to discuss with you should you like, or answer any questions readers of your review may have.
