Pricey

$130 during the week is why I only play here maybe once a year. Greens are fast and firm. Just can’t get over the price. It’s a great course just too expensive for me. New vendor working the snack bar - no hot dogs. Who eats wings while playing golf at the turn? Ordered a Buffalo chicken wrap, it was chicken salad w Texas Pete wrapped in a tortilla for $12.

Nice public course to play

Pretty decent layout. Some demanding and challenging holes. And some pretty easy. Greens were good, just needed some help - ball marks not being repaired which isn’t their fault.

Great place to play while vacationing at Emerald Isle, Atlantic Beach, etc..

Great course to play. Staff was friendly, clubhouse has been recently remodeled since the last time I played at CCCC. The course was in good shape. Very tight layout and the Bermuda greens are small and fast. Keep the driver in the bag and use your course guide to find the hazards - lots of water. The layout is different but with the amount of land available they did a great job. I had the pleasure of meeting the GM and his son. They were very nice and accommodating. Definitely will play again next year.

Decent public course.

Greens are in good shape, fairways are good, they just let the rough grow up to where it makes it more challenging. Not country club conditions or shape - but good place to play close to home.

Decent public course

Greens were in good condition, fairways are coming in nice, and tee boxes didn't have any issues. Front nine seems to be more challenging vs a few back and forth holes on the back nine specifically 14,15,16. Played from the blue tees which fit my handicap.

Old school Virginia golf course...

Great hidden gem for golfers now able to play a nice club course. Tight fairways, small to medium sized greens, nice layout. Greens were fast and true, fairways have dormant bermuda, and rough was cut down a little. Can't wait to play it in the summer when the fairways come in. If you want to play a fair challenging track this is a nice place to play. Be mindful that it is a private club - we were their guests. Members were friendly and play was fast.

Average at best

Bermuda rough was very high, greens were hairy and uncut, fairways were uncut, overall condition was okay for the season. Your ball could be 10 feet off the fairway and you couldn’t find your ball - even around the greens. For a semi-private course we were disappointed to make the drive. Hanover CC once was a very nice course - now average at best. There are other courses in the area that are in better shape and are more enjoyable to play.

Slow play

The course lost two major bridges in recent flooding. Only nine specific holes were available to play twice. I wish I would have known this before making a tee time. Lots of very slow players that wouldn’t allow any to play through. Left after skipping on hole and saw the next tee box had two foursomes waiting with another in the fairway and one in the green after 2 hour “front nine”. I will play again - only day off in a while and wasted it.

Nice course. Marshal was rude.

Beautiful Sunday round interrupted by a Marshall in the 13th fairway. He said we were two holes behind and we had to speed up our play.. There wasn’t anyone behind us. I said that we weren’t slowing anyone down and we were on pace to play. a four hour and fifteen minute round. He said he didn’t care and we had to keep up with the foursome in front of us and to pick it up.

I get slow play. We weren’t holding anyone up and no one was pressing us. We all are 10-15 handicaps and are aware of slow play. This marshal needs to have a better rapport with golfers who drive by five other courses that are just a good as Viniterra.

Thank you for your review. I am truly sorry of your experience with our Marshal. I have spoken with him on presentation. Again, I am sorry and hopefully it didn't ruin your day entirely. Hope to see you soon.

Great course.

Nice course for the time of the year. Greens are fast and hard. Fairways are dormant but in good shape. Make sure you check your tee preference. Long for average to novice golfers - play a tee up and you will enjoy the round. Waiting for the clubhouse to be built - been some time now. Clubhouse is a double-wide trailer but good enough for golf. There is no full service clubhouse but plans are to build soon. Play here it's worth it.

Greens are fast. Really fast. Did I say fast? Conditions are great for the time of the year - Bermuda fairways and greens. Looks great - they paint the dormant fairways green. They have a great bar/restaurant and clubhouse is very nice. Practice facility is the best around. The only thing about Independence is the price. $85 for 18 riding. It's worth it to play if it's in your budget. It's also very walkable if you like to walk. There is also a par 3 course which I have not played but I have heard great things about it. Go play this course.

Public course in the country

If you want to go out and play and get your game/swing in shape here is a place to go for the price. Greens are small and rolled well. If you’re expecting plush conditions this is not the place. There are three nine hole layouts - cottage, road, and lake. The staff is friendly but the amenities are lacking. Played here b/c the ease of making a tee time with GolfNow. I don’t know why any golf course wouldn’t use this app.

Great layout. Best greens in the area. Extremely fast but true. Food is great staff is friendly and attentive. Greens fee is slightly steep but well worth it. A must play if you’re in the area.

Nice course for the money. Played early in the morning with another single. It rained so we stopped after nine holes and they gave us a nine hole rain check which I used later that week. Definitely need to know the course - it is tight and has some water in areas - and if you don't know where - you're wet. Staff was okay, amenities okay - but I was there to play golf. Greens where good, fairways green, no real issues - its a golf course on an island known for it's beaches. There are some holes on the water that are beautiful. Not extremely long and the greens are true. If you're looking for a country club course on the mainland this is not it. It's in good condition and the greens were small but great. It is a fun challenging course you should play while on vacation in the SOBX. I'll play it again next year.
