Belmont Golf Course

DL III redesigned a Tillinghast and it’s just not the same. Removed the first 6 holes for a 6 hole Par 3 course, putting greens, and driving range. Bunkers placed in many landing areas. Pace is really slow. Since run by First Tee, many new golfers and walkers. For 12 holes on 2nd tee time took almost 3 hours. Pack a lunch if playing on the weekend!

I paid for 18 holes of golf with a cart. The course is actually only 12 holes because the last six holes are Par 3's. When I putted out on 12 and went looking for 13 tee box... that is when I found out that the last six holes were par threes and you MUST walk them... no carts allowed. And that is where my round ended. None of this is communicated when you book your round. It wasn't right and quite frankly it ticked me off.

The good:. Great to see a place for kids to play. Better than more apartments
The bad...water on course but no cups
Tee box so hard couldnt insert tee
Fairways worse condition ever. Little grass. Need vertical cutting and seed. Perhaps perennial rye
Greens hard as rock. Many greens starting to get same fungus that occured when full course. Same greens again
Sand pretty but needs deep raking. Wet and packed 1 inch below.
Par 3 course greens hard. Will not except wedge (who decided to place trap on first hole behind green 15 ft below green)
Like i stated earlier. Much better than some of henrico early options
But really not for seasoned golfers

Worse than hitting balls in my back yard!
* no grass in fairway or tee boxes
* what grass there was is in clumps
* needed a sledge hammer to put tee in
the ground on tee boxes
* greens missing patches even after aeration
* poor design - not real golf course - play 12
holes of regular golf with a cart path then
turn in cart to walk a mini 6 hole par 3
Hope the critics of Henrico County's management of this course are satisfied! Yeah, the new ownership added some white sand to the bunkers and don't maintain grass on the rest of the course. Good job - yeah right! :(

So I got two flat tires on the way to the course and I called and was quite pleased that Belmont was understanding and was willing to push back my tee time to later that afternoon. So I drove an hour to get there in the early afternoon only to be told by the same person I talked to on the phone that Belmont receives no money from Golfnow and therefore I would need to pay full price to play on the course. This dishonesty is totally unacceptable and then to top it all off I can't find a way to contact Golfnow for a refund. Horrible customer service from both Belmont and Golfnow.

Still a bit high for a 12-hole course but it’s good if you want a quick round early in the morning. Greens on the par 3 are just as good as the regular course. People need to fix their pitch marks.

The course was in good shape for this time of year greens were really good and bunkers were great to. Just wish it was still 18. Playing 12 then going to the par three course to finish 18 is not ideal. The practice area is one of the best in the area. So I guess it is what it is, if you want to work on your game this a affordable way to have a fun day.

If you enjoy walking this is the course for you. The layout is excellent and lots of people walk this course. Impatient people in carts please stay away. This may be my new favorite course in Richmond. Excellently maintained for the fall.

The place is amazing and the staff is too legit to quit

It's a fun walk for 12 holes, but there are some holes that can be tricky. There's not much length but you have to avoid the deep bunkers if possible. The greens had just been aerated when I played the last time, so that curbed my enjoyment a bit. I'm surprised this course isn't more crowded than it is.

Did NOT play the last 6 holes due to course renovations, could NOT use golf cart for these 6 holes, had to walk.

First thing when trying to play in the fairways there was lots of grass all over where it has just been cut. Second thing play the first 12 holes and when I got to the six par threes there was quite a few people already backed up on the first tee on the third hole of the par three there was a family of four kids that was Stanley hit one ball right after another off of the Teebox went to the gentleman that was working in the little building and asked could he do something to speed them up or would it be OK if I went and played the first six holes again . He said he could not allowed to do that that I would have to wait to play the six par threes. I decided to go ahead and put the pushcart back where it belongs and load my clubs up and I will not return to play again. When you get one group holding up three other groups and no one wants to speed them up or get them out of the way that makes it for a long day of golf. The best thing on this course it did have some decent bunkers and sand in them.

One unhappy golfer that will not play there again. Paid $48 to try to have an enjoyable day and could not do it
