My first time playing Black Rock. Went with a buddy who frequents the course- glad I did because I’d have gotten lost a few times... until he explained just keep the cart going straight when paths intersect. Until then I was a little lost.
The course is in fantastic shape for a government run course! I was very impressed with the maintenance level of care it receives.
They have a make shift driving range too which is nice.
Very friendly gentlemen running the shop too.
I’ll be back

This was my second tournament at BCCV. Love the tournament staff-excellent people!
The course is a lot of fun to play too. Challenging yet open enough for intermediate and beginners not to feel intimidated. They actively work on the course daily so it’s always in great shape.
I’ll be back.

I have played most of the public courses in this area and Piney Apple has to be one of the best groomed and maintained for the price!
Lots of challenges for the beginner and intermediate golfer (including what seemed to be 20-25 small ponds throughout the course). The back nine does have it's confusion...but, all you have to do is look at the course map and follow the signs on the cart path.
Lots of 'risk-vs-reward' to this course; we asked ourselves all day long if we should play it safe or go for it, lol...most of the time to our chagrin!
Really nice to have carts with ball, club and shoe cleaners on them too!
Everyone we ran into was friendly and we enjoyed our day a lot. Stop thinking about "if" you want to play here and just go play it...you'll enjoy yourself- it's golf!

The pro shop is really nice... that's normally your first assessment of a place and your first encounter with the vibe of a course.
That said, the staff was outstanding and friendly and the shop was fully stocked compared to most local clubs.
The tee boxes are hard as rock on some holes-the earlier review is spot on.
And the front nine is more groomed and player friendly than the back nine-true also.
I disagree with the statement claiming the course itself is not taken care of- I'm guessing they went after some rainy days and the mowers hadn't had a chance to cut; but, our outing today had no complaints. Every hole was nicely mown, low fairways and manageable roughs. The greens are great on most holes (a few are in need of some attention-but I'm not complaining).
The "cupped" greens are awesome... there are 2 or three of these; I wish I had known it before hand... I would've attacked them a little more aggressively. I played it safe because I was leary of hitting over them.
Plenty of on course aids too (ball washers, trash cans, port-o-john, etc).
It's a little scary at times, especially for a driver who slices a lot, with a few roads close by... but, live on the edge people!
All-in-all a very pleasureable golfing experience!

Nine hole course that is a combination of Scottish style roughs and modern course layout. Wide fairways on many holes and the greens are in pretty decent shape.
You cannot complain about the prices honestly....right at the average local area prices for a nine hole course.

Nine hole course with wide open fairways. The place is extremely well groomed; from the fairways and tee boxes to the large greens that are in A-1 shape.
Staff is very helpful and pleasant.
Best carts we've used in the area too (you'd be surprised how much that matters once you've had a couple of jalopies!

First time through this 9-hole course was experimental to say the least... lost plenty of balls on the tight fairways and in the high marshy grasses! As we played through a second time (back 9 so to speak) we faired much better.
The course is in excellent shape, especially the greens!
Staff here is mega-friendly and the price was highly reasonable... we will be back when we get some of the kinks out of our game!

Goat Hill, aka Waynesboro Municipal, is an open fairway 9 hole course with plenty of challenges for experienced golfers and plenty of space for beginners. If you're walking the course remember, it's not called Goat "HILL" for nothing!
The greens are being attacked by some type of caterpillar or grub so there are dead patches- Dan is trying to battle through it and has improved the course since taking over... he will get it right I know it!

I love Yingling's... work on that driver and your long irons on the range; then go play some par3 and mend your short game too!
Staff is very, very good people... we have made this our primary place to "return home to fix our problems" in our golf game.

Before I explain the title let me just say that the course and staff are not the problem!
The problem was a very slow foursome that had two middle-aged men and two elderly men... not only were they slow (which wasn't the real issue) the were the rudest divas I've ever seen on a course!
If they were good at golf I might have over looked their behavior... but they refused to let us skip ahead because they didn't want my party of TWO to hold them up all day... so, we skipped ahead to the next hole in front of them (12). By the time we were putting on 18 they were still on 14 and just coming to the box in 15!
The guys were basically drunk from what I could tell... I let the staff know but I think it was one of the part-timers... idk!
Needless to say, if you're an average golfer you'll find the course pretty busy, in good shape and very fun to play. Just hope you don't get stuck behind the drunk, delusional, rude Tiger Woods wanna-be (you know the type-really expensive clubs and has a +30 handicap).
Sorry... but, I'll likely avoid a return trip! Shame too... the course and staff are really great!
