Enjoy playing here
My recommendation would be to place signs showing distance from tee box to hazards or waste areas or the carry needed. Hole number 8 especially, but also on 2,10, and 12.
I believe this would speed up play and make it more joyable.
Not everyone has electronics to show hazards, etc.
Getting better
Have plated here on and off for years. It appears the new people are improving the each month. Its now playable and fun......
Definitely not a easy coarse
Definitely not a easy golf course to play very competitive with other courses.
Fun as long as you know the. Layout
Needs more yardage markers especially on par 5
Needs work
Tee boxes were terrible. Needed to be mowed and moved. Greens were average at best. Layout is good and challenging. Would love to play again with improvements to tee boxes and greens.

Awesome course!
Played in an outing this morning at Rapidan Golf Course. The property is in really nice condition. The greens were fast and smooth. The only poor thing is the bunkers, but from what the young man was telling me they are in process of re-doing them all. Lunch was awesome and great beers on tap. Really impressed with the golf course today. We’ll be back!
Good bones but poorly maintained.
Layout was good and POP excellent - 3 1/2 hours on a Sunday morning. Maintenance sorely lacking. Greens were recently punched and sanded = very slow;. Hard to find grass on tee boxes;. Spotty conditions in the fairways and rough. Just showing a lack of attention to care of the course.

Thank you for playing with us. Greens were aerified a week ago, and are slowly healing due to the frosts last week. Fairways and roughs have not begun to grow yet, due to the weather. We are making improvements daily to the course, so I would encourage you to give us another try soon!
Course needs work
This course needs work to the fairways and greens. It needs to be updated.
Hello. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry to see that your overall experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you'll give us another try in the near future.
Getting in to great shape!
Been playing here for many years with the Thursday Seniors League. Have seen the highs and the lows of the course. The new team managing the course is doing a great job bringing the course back to life. For the first time that I can remember the greens were actually a little too fast for my taste. Overall our group is looking forward to the golf season this year.

Not good
Probably the worst course I’ve ever played .only played 13 holes and I don’t know why I didn’t stop after 9 . Course have a great lay out and could be a good place to play with a lot of maintenance .

Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve, and we are working towards getting things up to par. Thank you for playing Rapidan Golf Club. We hope to see you again soon.
Great layout course conditions suffering
Almost all greens have spots where it's just sand. Hole 8 is a joke they have a temporary "flag" in the middle of the fairway as the green is closed and hole 17 was completely closed. Fairways were descent and teeboxs were non existant if you play the tips. I play here every few months or so and this time the conditions were the worst I've seen since the course reopened

Please bear with us as we work diligently to make improvements. We hope you'll give us another try in the future. Thanks for choosing Rapidan Golf Club.
Not bad for the price
I use the course to practice my game , it is looking better but no match for other courses in the area , but inexpensive for practice.
Hello, thank you for taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass along your feedback to the staff so they can work to make changes. Thanks for visiting us!
This course is laid out to make up strokes if you can keep it in the fairway. I've played it 3x's now from the tips and have done ok. Next time I will move up and see what improves. The only kind of bad thing is that the tee boxes need more attention to detail. I would recommend this course to play. It's a hidden gem for the price.
Sequoia Solo
Played the course today and tee box need immediate attention along with bunkers. Rest of course was quite enjoyable and there was no temporary greens when I played. Staff was totally awesome from the pro shop to the kitchen servers. Golf carts even has USB ports for charging your phone and hot deal rate was even more special. Played with Art/Curt whom can get around the course in record breaking speed.
Work in progress
Staff is doing a good job getting the course in shape fairways are good greens getting in shape the T- boxes not so good. Overall I enjoyed my round will definitely play again keep up the good work
Hello, Adam. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry to see that your overall experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you'll give us another try in the near future.
Nice layout, spotty greens
There greens and bunkers could use some help. There were some holes requiring the right carry, and some bombs away holes. This made the round lots of fun.
