Great course, bring bug spray!

Great course for the money. Greens are good, but could improve on some holes. The tee boxes and fairways are great. The one issue I had was the myriad of gnats. You need to bring some bug spray, otherwise you'll be swatting gnats the whole time you're there.

A nice course

In general, it's a nice round, the condition of the course was good in spite of wet weather.
The only thing regretful was airing with send to the green that is normally doing by most of all courses just before season open.
The cart fee USD 20 per person seem to be slightly higher as a public course! All the best service for better course management! Cheers!

Not a memorable track

It isn't a memorable track. Every time I drive by it, it does look beautiful. Worth checking out? Sure, if you are around the neighborhood. Wouldn't recommend anyone travel for it though. The greens got aerated last week, sand on greens for repair. Course was a bit slow.

Continued downhill turn (unfortunately)

All through 2023 and acceleratingly in 2024, the turf conditions have gotten worse, the turf maintenance worse (fairway, tees, and greens), and the clubhouse is falling in disrepair. It’s a shame considering the course layout and location are great. I’ll keep an eye out, but can’t say anything positive about the course to fellow golfers until significant investments are made. I’ll continue playing Herndon, as it keeps getting better and better (their greens are phenomenal in 2023).

Friendly staff

The course is in great condition for the time of the year. Staff is great and I enjoy the opportunity to play here. I’m a below average player 110 + -, but I always get the chance to play with nice people. The Carts are nice as well.

Good GC in its worst condition

It looked like they had recently aerated and I do recall a hard rain a few days ago. Even with that under considerations, overall condition is sub-par at best. Do avoid the sand traps. Poor drainage + lack of maintenance.

Poor pace of play

They had a delay start for frost, but was never notified. Even if they shotgun start, there was a slow pace of play.
