Lee's Hill Golf Club

Enjoyed the course, need attention - tee boxes and fairways.

Fairways and tee boxes are completely scorched/dead. Whereas greens are overly irrigated. Not at all worth the money in current state.

The greens are very nice. Fairways definitely need some work. Staff was friendly. Pace of play was acceptable.

I played this course when it first opened. I now live in Florida. This was the first time in nineteen years that I have been back. It’s one of my favorite courses to play. Great layout and surrounded by trees.

Not a lot of water but a fair amount of sand traps. Pretty wide fairways.

The course was challenging but not too hard. The grounds were just aerated so not the best of conditions but good enough to enjoy the game..

Let me start by saying that the staff at Lee's Hill is very friendly and that under different conditions, this is a course I would recommend in the future as I have in the past.

My relatively low score reflects my experience yesterday. Yes, the course is in high demand with so many courses north of Fredericksburg closed and the weather was optimal. And yes, the layout and routing of the course is not conducive to efficient play.

As such, after arriving for my 4:08 tee time and waiting until 4:15 to tee off, it took 85 minutes to play the first 4 holes, with significant waiting at each tee box. That's on-pace for a SIX-HOUR round. This is largely due to back-to-back shorter par-5s and then a par-4 with a blind tee shot that requires a bell to ring to signal an open fairway. It didn't help that nearly every group was a foursome and folks were starting on 1 and 10, the course was jam packed.

After the 5th hole, the pace picked up and again credit to the staff, there was actually a marshal out on the course doing what they could. Thankfully many either finished or gave up by the 9th so my 3-some played the back nine in just 80 minutes to finish just before dark.

Course conditions were another low point, though there could easily be some improvements done once the current situation allows for less play and more maintenance. In short, the course looked a bit shaggy from tee to the edges of the greens and the rough had numerous wet spots from some overnight rain (it had been cart-path only in the morning). Greens were a little bumpy but otherwise inoffensive, and pool noodles had been extended above the hole as part of the social distancing measures in place.

There are positives to be sure. While not the best for speedy play, the design of the course has character and you'll use plenty of different clubs to score well here. It's not an overly difficult course and is good for beginners or weekend hackers.

To reiterate, much of the course's shortcomings may alleviate fairly quickly as more courses open up and more maintenance can be done. There are some promising signs that money is being spent on the course, such as fresh green surrounds/fringe, and bunkers that (besides having some water in them) were in good shape.

I look forward to giving the course another shot later in the year and extending my recommendation of it once again. Until then, be warned that you could be in for a 5-hour+ round and somewhat lessened conditions.

This course has always exceeded expectations. Without a doubt would recommend anyone in the area to play here.

The course was in below average conditions for what I paid. Many other courses in the area I think are better bang for your buck. Pace of play was slow and groups were on top of each other for most of the round. Greens were in good condition considering its April. Fairways can have some patchy spots near edges, middle of fairway was solid. Putting green is good, driving range is wide open but not many yardage markers or items to aim towards. Putting green is used as a small chipping area, cant really work on much more than fringe shots. If in the area, southbound you have Pendleton GC and up north multiple courses offer better training facilities and overall GCs. Make those trips for a round more worth it.

Dry firm fairways. Greens still recovering from being punched but they were ok. Pace of play wasn’t bad. They were providing single carts due to Covid. Also had raised the cup liners so you didn’t have to pick the ball out of the cup. I’ll try to play there again in a month or so to give the greens time to come back.

My first time playing this course in almost 3 yrs and the course was in excellent shape. Will definitely come back again!

This course used to stay in great shape, but as price goes up conditions go down.. will not play again.

The fairways were very dry but the greens weren't bad. Play was super slow though

Just moved to the area and if I could give this place zero stars I would. Played here this morning, well should I say played 2 holes. I was teed up with 2 others but the starter said I could play by myself, I got through hole 2 and stopped. I was stuck behind 5 foursomes, and none of them would let me play through. That is not the USGA rules and etiquette I'm use to. Now I realize this has nothing to do with the course, but it's most likely that they were members because it was early morning and if that's how they act, I want nothing to do with this place. Remember, it's the public that keeps this place running, not your members. Will never play here again.
