Solid Exec 9

Pinecrest is a nice out and back 9 muni. Course layout is fun and rewards knowing where to hit it. A wet August has let courses stay nice late into the summer.

Nice quick 9

Short municipal course. It's a fun layout, but you'll only hit driver once. Conditions are perfect this time of year as we haven't had scorching heat yet. Pace of play was good even on a busy day.

Nice muni

Walked 18 on a Friday. Course is in good shape but 4some two groups in front of us were really slow. Fun layout, and conditions are what you'd expect for a muni. Good value course and I'll be back.

Great quick muni

Jefferson District is a nice short nine hole muni that has some fun hole design. It attracts an older crowd so pace of play is slow, but for a short course it makes you think. I'll be back!

Challenging well maintained course

Got a really good deal to play on a Monday afternoon. Course is in great shape for March and forces you to think on every hole. One group of two backed the front 9 up, but it wasn't too slow. I highly recommend.

Nice public 9, good for multiple skill levels

Pinecrest is a nice 9 hole course in average shape with a fun layout. You will have to think your way through club selection. It's generally not very crowded so you can get 9 in less than 1:45 if you are looking to play in a tight window. For the price, I think it's a good deal.

Fun layout, decent conditions, great price

So. Riding is in decent shape this year. A few tee boxes are under repair, the greens are fast, and the rough is tall. It forces golfers to know their iron distances, and pick where they want to miss. A good course for golfers of all levels.

Challenging layout, improving conditions

I had not played Pleasant Valley since 2012. Its still a challenging loop that forces players to make decisions on every hole. The heat this summer has crushed the conditions and only recently have the tee boxes started to come back. It's now basically a hard municipal course, but nothing is wrong with that.

Nice value south of Lexington

Was in town for a guys weekend and we booked via Golfnow. The price for 18 and a cart was fantastic. Course was not crowded despite being a Sunday afternoon. No active ranger presence so pace of play was a minor issue. Course is in slight disrepair with some overgrowth, decrepid signage etc. Feels like a place that was definitely nicer 10 years ago. Back 9 has a more challenging layout. Don't believe the scorecard for distance as several of the tee boxes have clearly moved. I hit into the group ahead of us while I was laying up because the card was off by roughly 100 yards. All in all, I'd play again because of the value, but the course is very average. Oh if you hate sand, this is your place, there isn't a single bunker on the entire course.

Beware the General

Played at 7am on a Sunday am. We were the second group out. Pace of play was about 4:15 which is fine considering some of the drives between holes. Course has a really challenging layout that borders on gimmicky. Most holes have a blind shot especially if you don't know where to be. Those of us who played mid-irons out of the tee box were rewarded, which is strange. This is a hard, decently maintained muni that is a great value.

Played Meadows-Ridge at Potomac Ridge

Played at 7:30am on a Sunday morning. Was just above freezing when we teed off. Range is really beat up, and course is badly understaffed. I think there was one employee there trying to do everything. He was friendly, but needed help.

Pace of play was great, played 18 holes in 3:45. The Meadows course is pretty beat up, and not especially challenging. The Ridge is in better shape, and is more difficult. It has some pretty severe elevation changes, and some good hole design.

I will play again mid-summer to see if conditions improve.

Maybe the nicest course in NoVA

Played Augustine for the first time. The whole experience is first rate from the included warm up balls, to the personality of the starter and the clubhouse menu. The course is gorgeous and in good, but not great shape. A lot of work was going on during the round, but that'a fair for a Wednesday. I will be back.

Great wooded course

Forest Greens is a beautiful, lush wooded course that sits right off of 95. Five sets of tee boxes make for nice varying challenges. The course is in really good shape for this time of year, and at times it felt like it was a pricate course on a Sunday AM. The course has multiple elevated tee boxes that create some really scenic views. We will definitely return.

Not a bad little course

Hilltop is a perfectly fine executive course. There are 3-4 great holes on the course, a few fine ones, and two that are a waste of time. It's in pretty good shape right now. Staff is friendly and the pace of play is fantastic as everyone rides. I played 9 holes in less than 90 minutes. For a quickie, you can do wore than Hilltop.

Winter golf in NoVa

Got out and played on a hot deal the first day after the course was reopened following the snow. Stsaff was friendly, and the course played fine. I think I was one of two singles out on the 18, so not sure if the pace was a realistic measure. Will be back in the future definitely!

Challenging, good looking course

Don't let the length decieve you, Osprey is as challenging a course as you'll find. Almost every hole brings water, or a forced carry into play, so bring a multitude of balls. Staff is nice, but I wish the starter would be a little more aggressive pairing folks together. On Sunday morning, a foursome, went followed by 2, followed by 3, followed by 2, and we were backed up for most of the back 9. At around $50, Osprey is well worth it.
