Challenging
Great course, very challenging, some you need to know the hazzards to make good club selection. The cart path needs a lot of work. Staff was very friendly.
Better and better
Every time I play, the course improves. The greens are firm, fair and overall very good for the season. The course is very short except for a long and challenging par 3 on the front. If you're hitting your driver straight be ready for a low score
Staff was great and course was in great condition for the time of year. Was a Slow morning and was able to complete the round in 3 1/2 hours.
Poor conditions for above average price.
Greens were aerated and I get it, but there should be some type of heads up or slight discount.
Great course!
This was my first time playing here since they changed names but it was great. Staff was really nice and helpful. Fairways were in great condition! The greens were a little dry but not bad at all.
Fairways and greens in good condition only issue is all the t-boxes in terrible shape. As always the staff courteous and friendly looking forward to my next round
Hidden gem
Course is steadily improving... becoming a favorite in the area...only drawback is no driving range for warmup.
Nice course upgrades
Been coming here over 2 years now. The course has improved tremendously over the last 6 months with change of management; parking lot has been paved and spots marked; fairways and greens are 85% better. Great value for 18 rounds of play!
Somerset golf course the old rapidan club
New to golf only been playing this year my second time on the course I did all 18 holes in three hours scored less than 100 and wasn’t pressured or made to feel uncomfortable by anyone great course great staff great price much better than the local clubs in the area
decent course i guess
we played just before christmas. first time playing somerset farms. the course was a strange layout. we got confused on a few holes on the front 9. please put up more signage.
i worked for the epa for many years, and i did not like seeing the laborers applying some kind of fertilizer on the greens only a few hours before a very heavy rainfall was expected. for one, that is illegal. second, the river runs right along the golf course, so all of that fertilizer that was applied, guess where it went? right into the water ways. i suggest you learn the laws on fertilizer applications, especially right before rain events, and especially in the winter.
Confusing front nine.
Overall fun course. Front nine is hard to tell which green you are playing. We just watched the group in front of us. They seem to book close together but pace was still pretty good. They say new owner is doing a lot of work for next year. Will play again.
Pace of play awful
Starter was running about 25 minutes behind, 0 people on the back nine however they refused to start anyone there. Pace of play was horrendous. 4 1/2 hours in and we bailed after hole 14. The groups around us were also complaining about the pace. No Marshall to move anything along. Also, went to get food on the turn and everything is “cooked to order, you should have called ahead. We don’t make food in advance because we have no way of knowing how busy we’ll be”. Uhh maybe the fully booked tee times are an indication? Come on man, everyone has Hot Dogs ready at the turn!
Getting Better
Things are improving at the course. Its great that its open and with time it could be a fun course to play.

Great course was a beautiful day today course was fantastic
Thank you for your recent visit to Somerset Farms Golf Course! We are also aware of the confusing hole routing layout and have recently added 12 signs throughout the course to assist players as they navigate the course. We will also be using a few different tactics to better define the hole layouts as well. Stay tuned!
