Much Better Shape Than in Previous Years

Best conditions I had seen in a while. Greens rolling at a good pace and no ball marks. Definitely would recommend for 2023.

Great 3rd Course to French Lick Package

Beautiful layout! Course was in great shape! If you are part of the French Lick Package, make sure you play Sultan's Run. You will not be disappointed. Zoysia fairways were pristine.

Put On Your Bucket List

Had researched French Lick for 5 years and finally committed. Boy am I glad I committed! Awesome layout. Do need to play it a 2nd time if you don't have a caddie. Immaculate conditions. Have already told a bunch of my golfing buddies to come here.

If Not On Your Bucket List - Add It!

Our caddie Josh was great! Gave us some history and also was very helpful. Played with a wonderful couple from Mt Carmel, IN. Dye and Ross courses are easily two of the toughest courses I've ever played! Conditions were immaculate. Definitely want to come back!

Great Warm Up Before French Lick

Did the research prior to our French Lick trip and this course got the best reviews. No arguement from me. Course was in immaculate shape. Definitely will play again if I'm in the area.

Nice Course But Not Worth $189

I know it's supply and demand but $189 is too high. No more than $120. And the $189 did not include range balls! Course in good shape. Greens a tad slow. Also surprised they have no senior rates.

Course Growing On Me

Only a 40 minute drive from Leesburg. Course is always in great shape. Greens rolling fast. I need to play it more than a few times a year. I used to think some of the holes were gimmicky but I've changed my tune.

Never Disappoints

Used the Tee Time Pass. This course never disappoints. Always in great shape. Earlier in the year the pace of play was horrible (4:45). This time the pace of play was excellent. Coming from Leesburg, VA it's an easy drive. Try to play it 3 to 4 times a year.

A Must Play!! Pristine Conditions

Had been over 20 years since I played the Trail (Grand National, Silver Lakes, Oxmoor Valley). Played a 3day/2night unlimited package. Even though 23 May was wet, 24 & 25 were fine. All 3 nines were in pristine condition! Best conditioned courses & layout I have played in a while. Director of Golf Brian Reynolds was first class! We had a nice conversation about where I was from, condition of the course, etc. His staff of Rachel T, Preston, Caroline W. were very courteous and very helpful - good ole southern hospitality. I have already notified all my golfing friends that Cambrian Ridge is a must!! I can't wait to return but I have some other bucket list courses to play as well.

Awesome Layout But Needs Some Serious TLC

Played South Wales about 35 years ago. Layout is awesome but the course is in sad shape. Have been told the owner doesn't really care. New homes being built around the course so you hope the owner will put some $$ into it (3 million would do the trick) or sell it to someone else who cares. Greens were absolutely horrible. You put 3 million into this course and you will see golfers from all over play this course. Course has sooo much potential but apparently the owner doesn't care. Just think how much money the owner could make if the course was in better shape.

Never Disappoints; Always in Great Shape

Play this course at least 3 to 4 times each year. If I lived a half hour away, I would be a member. Great mix of holes. Beautiful setting. If you have never played Gettysburg you definitely need to.

Combo Tees Between Gold & Silver; Beautiful Layout

Gold 6355 & Silver 5800. Any thought of combo tees? Beautiful layout. Holes 7 & 8 are awesome. Definitely will be back even with a 1hr 10 min drive.

Unbelievable; Definitely a Buddies Bucket Trip

Best conditions for a resort course I have ever played. Atunyote is the easiest of the three (Shenandoah & Kaluhyat). Kaluhyat is a bear but beautiful but always windy. All three courses are pristine - just perfect! I really want to return but have other bucket list courses to play. If you haven't played Turning Stone put it on your bucket list. You won't be disappointed!

Outstanding Shape!

Given the rain we had the course was in tip top shape. Yes there are some quirky holes but I'll take quirky if the fairways, greens & tees are in great shape and they were in great shape. Highly recommend!!

Outstanding Condition!!

Always try and play this course 4 to 5 times a year. BRS is in outstanding shape - fairways & greens. If you haven't played it this year I highly recommend! Greens were running fast and with very few ball marks.

Excellent Compliment to the Gold Course

Good compliment to the gold course. Bunkers need some work. Not as penal as the gold course. Highly recommend the golf package so you can play both courses as much as you want.

Unbelievable Course; Best Par 3s in Mid-Atlantic

Had been eyeing this resort for years and finally pulled the trigger. Course was in pristine condition. The starter, Sam Motley, was super. Turns out he played college baseball with a good friend of mine. Played the ball down as the fairways were immaculate. Par 3s are unbelievable! Definitely want to return and with the golf package an excellent deal. Highly recommend!

Greens Slow; Pace of Play Horrendous

Have always played this course 2 to 3 times a year. Never again. Took us 4hr 50min to play a round. No marshals. Some holes on back nine had two groups waiting on the tee. Greens were also slow. Save your $$ and play Links at Gettysburg or Quail Valley.

WOW!!!

I hadn't played Willow Oaks since the renovations. All I can say is WOW. The conditions were pristine especially for August. Didn't have to touch the ball in the fairway, greens were perfect. Great mix of holes where you don't need driver all the time (found out the hard way :-)). I can't wait to play it again!

Very Green & In Great Shape

Given the drought we've had the last 5 weeks in Northern Virginia, I was shocked to see how green the course was. Lately the courses around here are green except for the rough. This rough was lush. Obviously they have plenty of water.
Can't wait to play Chantilly again!
