Nestled in the foothills of the Catoctin Mountains about 15 minutes from Fredricksburg, Glade Valley Golf Club has been selected as a top-100 golf course in the Mid-Atlantic region by Washington Golf Monthly. The Jim Reck design, which opened in 1990, has a nice mix of woods, water, natural habitat and sand traps that will test golfers, but the golf course isn't overly difficult.

Spectacular shape!!

Played this course a few times before in years past, thought it was an average track in average to below average condition. Now, apparently under new ownership, place is in terrific shape! Fairways and greens beautiful, tee boxes lush, foliage trimmed, basically $100 course condition. Trees have grown out a little to make the holes a little more challenging and, as before, pastoral setting (no houses in sight) is a nice relaxing day. Great job GV team!

Beautifully manicured course

It’s a very well maintained course with reasonably fast greens. The fairways are wide and forgiving. However the grass on the fairways was a bit long on the day we played making clean shots challenging. The staff was friendly and helpful. Overall it was a very enjoyable course and will definitely play again.

Very nice course 25 minutes from Gettysburg PA

Greens were very good; fairways and bunkers good, tees a tad sparse and rough poor. A nice layout and a very good value. We would return again.

Aggressive groundskeeper

Played a round today. Was having a wonderful time until the 11th hole where I was yelled at by a person mowing the grass telling me I wasn't allowed to drive In the rough. Driving from the fairway on a par 5 to the cart path I think I'm allowed to drive on the rough but okay tried to apologize at the 12th just to be swore at and threatened to be kicked out. It's unfortunate I play here every single week and may change my mind in the future due to a groundskeeper being rude and disrespectful to me and my guest

Glade Valley GC- a pleasant experience

Glade Valley remains in good shape despite the drought of 2023. Greens are smooth and fairways are lush. There are a number of bunkers and trees being removed which will transform the look and feel of the course, however it will remain an excellent walking course.
