Patriots Glen Golf Club
Played On 08/07/2022Great Layout, Poor Conditions
The good:
The layout is very interesting with some straight forward holes with tricky bunker placement and short to mid length risk/reward par 4's. I enjoyed the par 3 layouts with big green undulations. A few water holes broke up the tree lined course well and made for some dramatic tee shots.
The bad:
The greens were some of the worst greens I have seen. Some were shaggy, others had large patches of no grass. I was a bit shocked at the conditions. Some holes were in ok shape, but others barely had any fairway and just patchy grass and a ton of crabgrass.
Even with the bad conditions, I would play here again since I enjoyed the layout, the price was decent ($45 compared to the typical $75 closer to me). Grass can be improved upon so I won't give up on this course yet. I hope to see more recourses spent on the course now that the club house and amenities have been upgraded.
Broad Run Golfer's Club
Played On 06/25/2022Great course but lacking amenities for the price
The course layout and conditions are fantastic, but with price increases on a course that does not have a true driving range (balls are an extra cost), the value is not the best. At $111 it would be nice to have a small bucket to hit and water out on the course.
The Club at Shannondell
Played On 07/18/2021Good Conditions for the Price
Conditions were good; greens were a little shaggy/slow, and bunkers have not been maintained in years. There are a lot of bunkers that have been fully taken over by crab grass. Fairways and rough were in good shape.
This course is narrow with a lot of dog legs. Tee boxes are in the danger zone of other holes so expect to duck and cover a few times during the round. Not much room between holes, but the price is decent.
The Rookery South
Played On 06/28/2021Great local course
Staff was very friendly. Course conditions were fantastic; greens a little slow but rolled well. Pace of play was slow but ranger moved the group in front of us up at the turn.
The pro shop is small but there are some amenities like the driving range.
Course layout has some interesting aspects; front nine has short par 4’s that are risk reward. Back 9 is longer with a more straight ahead layout. No elevation changes.
This is a solid course and worth a look.
Linfield National Golf Club
Played On 09/13/2020Once a Great Course, Now in Bad Shape
I enjoyed a few rounds here in the past, but the most recent round was poor. Many fairways were just dirt and crab grass, and more than half of the tee boxes were the same. The greens were in great shape, but the quality of other areas was concerning.
The course layout is ok, but the holes are very tightly packed. You will hear, “fore!” every 30 seconds. Expect to doge an errant tee shot a few times.
Port Royal Golf Course
Played On 10/22/2018Great Bermuda Course
Though prone to being very windy, the course is always in great shape and beautiful. It offers a variety of layouts, from straight away holes, shorter, risk/reward layouts and multiple doglegs to test you. Bunkers are laid out well and the holes along the coast are just beautiful. My favorite spot is on the green of 7 where you go up an incline to get a magnificent view of the ocean and the rest of the course below.
Port Royal Golf Course
Played On 09/21/2017Great Course with Amazing Views
I came back to this course because it is fun to play, plus the views of the ocean are top notch. Though it has an open layout, I found a lot of rough and bunkers during my round. The course provides short and long holes giving all abilities a challenge. The course was dry, but in great shape. The greens rolled well and thankfully, so did my putts. I will come back!
Port Royal Golf Course
Played On 06/01/2016Fantastic Getaway Course
I did my research on Bermuda golf before deciding on Port Royale. It was a great choice and certainly a course I will go back to. The staff was very friendly and helped me find my way to the driving range and even allowed me to tee off early when another 2some was teeing off.
The course has a nice layout with the front nine meandering among flowering shrubs and well manicured landscaping. It played easier than I thought; this is certainly not a complaint! Playing on Bermuda grass was new to me and a welcomed challenge. The back nine was more memerable with the Ocean in view. Reaching the elevated 7th green was amazing with the ocean stretching nearly 180 degrees in the background.
The course was dry and the greens were very firm. I had trouble getting any approach to stick. The greens were very quick and had plenty of break making my short game tricky but very fun. I was pleased with the elevation changes, some holes changing a good 100 feet from fairway to green (so it seemed).
Definitely a fun course and one I recommend playing.
Kimberton Golf Club
Played On 9/07/2013Firm greens but bring your weed killer
Played a slow round with 3 friends. No rangers nor starter at the course but staff in the pro shop were friendly. Course layout has holes paralleling each other closely. Some holes are open, others very narrow testing your accuracy. There is a decent variety of hole layouts; dog legs, long, short, and a few with water.
Greens looked nice but were very hard and many small in size. they held nothing, even high shots with a 60 degree wedge. Wedge shots landing 10 feet before the hole would end up 15 feet past or even off the green. This was tough to play with since I am used to soft greens and spinning shots back on occasion.
Many tee boxes were covered with weeds. Some fairways were full of weeds too but other areas were in great shape.
Over all, the $20 I paid to play here was a decent deal but I am not a fan of the course.
Ingleside Golf Club
Played On 1/6/2013Great for short game practice.
This is a local, shorter course and is a lot of fun to play. Rounds tend to be short here, usually 3.5 hours, but i have played sub 3 hour rounds before.
Many holes are shorter in length but offer plenty of trouble to get into. This is a great course to test my short game on as I am left with a wedge or less in, depending on how I am driving that day.
Some uphill par 3's will test you, but there are some fun ones with nice settings and one with a drastic elevation change. Definately a course I will frequent during the year.
