getting better
I play here 4-5 times a year. The course is improving and fun to play....greens were good shape the only poor thing are the bunkers. Hit them straight.....
Green greens greens
Well for the end of March the Bermuda fairways were in good shape. better than Meadows and LOW. The aprons were better than Meadows but the greens were in terrible shape. The poa and lack of bent grass made the greens like putting on the moon!! Craters everywhere!! They were cut short but if not going to work on the bumps it’s just too much to score. Take two and go to the next tee box. Need a person who can bring the greens back and it will be a great course!
Dont Let this Golf Course Go
This has always been a good and fun course to play that has had it unfortunate up and downs over the last couple of years. Over all the course is in good condition for the price, but they really need to save the greens, it looks like they might be letting them go, and they are really not that bad that they could be repaired with a little love like a good punch and topdress.
What happned???
This course uaed to be in such a good condition but what in the world happened??
Tee boxes are still ok [was much better but still good] and fairway is average condition for February. But, WHAT IN THE WORLD happened to the Green???
You have to give yourself a 2 putts on every hole since it's Not Puttable.
Hidden Gem!
Pro shop lady is awesome. She went up and beyond for my 2some double booking on GolfNow.com. Got me a refund and excellent customer service. Without her, we wouldn’t be able to enjoy this quiet and relaxing course.
We love the course. The greens need some love but it’s November and the staff do their best with what they have and that’s why we keep coming back. Any complaints can suck it and play elsewhere. Thank you.
Greens are terrible
The greens are dying and have ball marks all over them, you can’t putt without it bouncing off marks in the green. Looks like people hit shots off the green and left huge divots. They close at 4:30 which makes no sense, considering it doesn’t get dark until 8. It’s almost like they don’t want to make any money.
great course
This was my first time golfing here, and I love this course. The staff was very friendly. The golf patrons were friendly too, everyone expected each other. the course condition was good in my eyes; yes the tee box, green and fairway has weeds, but so what, all other course I played in my area were like this, but extremely expensive. I love this course, and will definitely come a few times more before the golf season ended.
One of the worst experiences in golf
I have played here before and it was an average course to play on. But this time around it was absolutely horrible. The tee boxes were like concrete. The greens were in horrible shape with crab grass, bare patches, and divots that were never fixed. The fairways were not well taken care of or cut. I will not be returning here. If you truly appreciate the game of golf, save yourself the trouble and go somewhere where they actually care about and take pride in there course.
Course needs help
$30 for the round and I over paid. The greens are just about gone. Weeds and crabgrass everywhere. The fairways and bunkers are ok, but when you can putt it's hard to enjoy the round. I hope they can fix this problem because it's a fun course to play.
You get what ya paid for.
This course has so much potential. Good luck putting as they have small fern like patches all over the green. Felt like I was putting in my front yard. On rare occasions, the fairways will have good quality grass in areas. By far the best pace of play cause my nephew and I were the only ones out there. Only paid $21 for 18 holes. So it’s really hard to complain. But only play here if ya really need to
Ok for inexpensive practice round.
Course has seen better days. Fairways are a little rough as are the greens. Greens are slow.
This course has no golf range, just a putting green for a pre-round practice.
Old Rapidan SSFARMS GC 07122023
Fairways in great shape. Some greens have had possibly crabgrass pot marks and balls bounce.
Bunkers are unplayable, lack of sand.
They have taken down many of the off fairway vegetation and trees.
The course is very golfer friendly.
Nice course
I have read some negative reviews on this course and I don't get it. The course was in fine shape and the staff was very friendly. Yes the clubhouse could use some freshening up and there was no bev cart available, but that seems to be common these days. Guess I'm not a golf snob. Going back to play again in a couple of days.
Good for the money
Nice layout and some challenges.
Local knowledge will help🇺🇸
Course in rough shape
The course was in pretty rough shape. The tee boxes barely had grass on them and it was practically concrete packed clay. It was extremely hard to get the tee into the ground. The fairways had large area of exposed clay and rock solid.
The greens were very slow and have seen better days.
First time experience
This course needs help,with out a big improvement players will stop coming.
Had a lot of fun golfing. Staff was great and very helpful. Only problem we had was that the dining room was not open, so we were unable to get anything to eat except for snack stuff.
