Raspberry Falls Golf & Hunt Club offers the traditional links course reminiscent of those found in the British Isles, situated amidst Virginia's horse country. The club gets its name from the land's former use, a raspberry field. The scenic terrain overlooks to Catoctin Mountains and there are still a few raspberry bushes dotting the course. By far the layout's most formidable challenges come from the deep, stacked pot bunkers that make it truly feel like a classic Scottish golf course. There are also water hazards on a few holes. The course's signature is the par-4 third hole, which is long but plays downhill all the way. The 10th hole, another par 4, is one of the toughest. The landing area is generous off the tee but there is a creek and pond to the left and fairway bunkers on the right.

Average course for price

They have drastically raised the price with average course conditions. Fairways are fair, greens slow and non of the water containers were filled up in a warm Sunday afternoon. It is totally unacceptable when paying $100 and did not even see the cart girl. Very disappointing. We have plenty of other courses with better value and service in the area

Great course

Fantastic course layout, beautiful views and good condition. The amount of gnats and mosquitos was insane and took away from the experience. Course amenities seemed lacking, cart girl only came around once, only 2 holes had water and both coolers were empty. Range balls not included in green fee. The end of round club cleaner kid left as we finished our 18. Definitely worth playing and will be back but for the price and in comparison to other experiences in the area the overall takeaway was meh.

NOT WORTH THE PRICE

I don’t get why this place charges $100 for a course in this horrible of conditions. I’ve played here multiple times and it gets worse every year. The tee boxes are in rough shape, covered in sand. Don’t get me started on the greens, they punched them months ago and they are about the worst I’ve seen at any course in the area this year. If you can get a $40 twilight round, I’d take it, but don’t bother paying over $70 for a round. Sad to see a nice place destroy themselves. The layout is really nice, just the conditions are not it chief. Bramble ton is the best bang for you Buck around NOVA and bull Run is my all time favorite. Also I’ve been hitting off mats here for about a year now on the range. L course.

Great Twilight rate

Expensive at normal rates but the twilight rate of $50 is great value given that at this time of year, 18 holes is easily possible from one of the first twilight tee times.
Beautiful course with lots of variety. Course condition good although greens a little bumpy given recent aeration. Back 9 is a great challenge with multiple memorable holes across the 18. Pace of play was also great when we played given that it was pretty busy.

Love the course, dude the green fees!!

This was my first time back in two years, I have loved playing at RF for twenty years.. $150/$160 for a weekend round is out of whack but I guess you're getting it.

Under Repair

I would assume the course was immaculate in it's hey day. I found that it was under a lot of repairs, and was not in the shape for the cost. Different sand from bunker to bunker, not consistent. Many tee boxes unplayable. I would suspect once all the repairs are done, and in summer the course will be in much better shape. But there should be a huge price break for its current shape.

Raspberry Falls - Awesome Course

This course is pleasantly challenging. Greens are challenging to read and very slow. Awesome views, especially from Hole 3 and get ready for a tough Par 5 on Hole 18. The staff is AWESOME. Everyone is super friendly and accommodating and strive for everyone playing the course to have a good time. Will definitely be back.

Packed in like sardines

I've played this course before and it's been busy. But you don't think it's always going to be like that, right.?

This was the worst. Groups so packed together. We were either waiting or having balls hit into us.

I told the clubhouse people that I was just too packed and I was told that's just the way it is. We've got to make our money. Literally saying that they have to do it to make money.

Golf is supposed to be relaxing and fun and this was neither that sounds like they plan to keep it like that. What a bummer!

Fantastic public course!

Absolutely loved playing Raspberry Falls. Very few people on the course in the afternoon so I breezed through 18. Such a fun design that was equal parts challenging and accessible. Course was in great condition, outside of the greens were punched a few weeks ago. Even with that, the ball still ran true. can’t wait to come back next time I’m in Virginia!
