Management issue?
This is a very good and very scenic golf course. It's a Jack Nicklaus design and is very challenging. It's a shot maker type course as there are several carries over trouble, and almost every green is elevated and well protected by sand bunkers. I happened to have a pretty good round, and truly liked the course and the challenge. When we played (Sunday, May 28, 2017) the course was in reasonably good condition, although the greens had many not-repaired ball marks and sand traps were not well sculpted. Some were not raked. However, the fairways and roughs were in good condition and the cart paths were well maintained. Our biggest issues were lack of adequate signage between holes, and even some confusion on the location of the 1st hole. We got lost between the 2nd and 3rd hole (no signs) and had to ask the group behind us for directions (there are long distances between holes). We let that group play through so we had someone to follow....which was a good thing as there were other opportunities to get lost. Another issue is shot placement. There were no aids to indicate the best place for a drive, or how to play the hole. Given the price for greens fees there should be at least a map, and probably a book for player guidance. As these should be easy fixes our conclusion was that this course has a possible management issue.
Visited May 2017
Cart path only
No water on the course to drink
Fairways were in horrible condition
Monday round
Love this course but the greens were still a little bumpy from the aerification 7/10 days prior to be charging 95 in my opinion.
Rough was chunky as well...
Still beats a day at work.
Overpriced
Beautiful layout. Course was in great shape despite the aerated greens. Range has crappy mats to hit off of. Practice green is too small. Saw cart girl once in 18 holes. There is no turn, so you can’t get beverages at the clubhouse. No video screens in the carts. Great course but overpriced.
Too expensive
We got in under a deal but it's normal price is too high
Interesting Layout
The course is in great condition. The one critique I have for the course condition is the second cut on the greens need better trimming; it was inconsistent and no defined borders around the greens. This course has no halfway house so you have to wait for the drink cart but there was only one out when I played so you could go over an hour without seeing it again. Make sure you grab what you need before heading out. This is not a course you can walk due to the layout. The holes are far apart from green to next tee for a lot of the holes, but I like it cause you aren’t bothered by others on either the teebox or green.
Expected Better
Perfect day to play golf. Course was in great shape but pace of play, not starting on time, not having some kind of snack or something at the turn. We only saw cart lady after the first 9 holes and didn't see her again. Probably won't play here again for the cost. Better values with just as good conditions are out there.
6/30
One of my favorite courses in the area. Unique/challenging layout, conditions and staff all excellent. Grill food/service was excellent.
See you next time.
Great course
One of the best courses right outside Northern Virginia. Well worth the price, considering how expensive other courses are becoming.
Good review. They do have a yardage book available (I got mine on May 14th, so it should have been available when you were there), so there are answers to the issue you had with shot placement etc.
