Locust Hills Golf Course

I have played Locust Hill every year or so for close to 30 years. When I played yesterday the greens were as bad as I have ever seen them. They were bumpy and probably the slowest greens I have ever played.

I really enjoy the layout of the course but right now it is not in good shape. the tee boxes are sparse and uneven, there are weeds everywhere. But usually I can count on the greens to be nice, this was the biggest disappointment.

The greens were in good shape and rolling true however that was the only positive of the round. It took us nearly 6 hours to play 18, I feel like they over sold their tee times and no Marshall's on the course to keep pace of play moving. I would not recommend.

I will say if they put some time and money into this course it would be well worth the 60 dollars. The course layout is really fun for any level of skill. But the lack of mowing and trimming around the fairways and poor greens. I won’t be rushing back to play this course

i’ve come to locust a fair amount of times, and it always fails to impress me. it’s a very cool layout of holes, and could possibly be one of my favorite courses if the conditions weren’t god awful every time. the rough is ridiculously tall grass (no lie I lost several balls in the rough after seeing exactly where they landed 0.o), and the fairways aren’t much better. greens are always slow, and bunkers are terrible(not all but many).I won’t be returning until there’s a turn around on the conditions.

I found a AVX titleist ball at another course and tried to play it without losing it at Locust. I caught fire on #6 with a pitch in with my PW about 25 yards. And I ran into a gentleman who looked like my dads best friend on #7. He was playing the white tees so I decided to play the par 3 with him. 170 yards I used my 905 3 wood titleist. My second hole in one with this club. Best club ever made by far. Low fade over the sand that cut right when it hit the green. We both thought it went over but I choked down enough to were I knew it didn’t. I just doubled checked the hole and there it was. My phone battery went out so I couldn’t take a pic. I told the clubhouse manager and he just said “that’s great.”Ha.

Course was in good shape except the greens were not maintained. The greens were covered with dead worms making it terribly bad for putting. All they had to do was blow off the greens but evidently no effort was made. Also I bought a Hot deal and the price for the hot deal was $10 more than what the course was charging. This especially aggravating and I consider it false advertising on golf now!

Locust Hill GC is a nice course with elevation changes and no back and forth holes, LHGC is a very enjoyable layout that is walkable if you are fit.

I play many courses throughout VA, MD and WV.and I was pleased with the wonderful shape the course is in for January. The staff was very accommodating and friendly.. The layout is challenging so pick your which tees you're playing, carefully. I can't wait to try the course again this Spring!!

Lots of course variety makes this a fun course to play. A few water holes make things interesting. Great staff and a great deal on golf now. Need to play it a few times to get a good feel for tee shots.
