This is a nice course with plenty of challenges. The layout is very good and the fairway were in reasonable condition for the time of year. However, the greens let this course down in that they were weed riddled and benign. There were also some bare patches. Even so, I enjoyed playing a round here.

Unfortunately, the course was very wet due to a few days of heavy rain showers which didn’t help the course conditions. Even so there is clearly a lack of maintenance, particularly the tee boxes and greens. The greens had many bare patches although the ball tended to run smoothly for the most. The tee boxes badly need cutting and reseeding. The fairways were in generally good condition, contrary to the poorer condition of the tee boxes and greens.

Even so, this is the second time I’ve played this course and I like the layout so would play again but hopefully they can sort out some better investment in general maintenance.

This course is well laid out in in really good condition apart from a couple of greens which had some bare patches. Not sure what caused that as the greens, for the most, were very good. Unfortunately, heavy rain and thunder curtailed our round after hole 12.

Overall, this was a very pleasant course to play. The layout is challenging but fair. Accuracy is needed on a number of holes or you’ll lose your ball in the woods or water. The tee-boxes are well used and need some work, as do some of the fairways which have the odd bare patches. The greens were soft and in very good condition ; revealing they had been watered regularly. The only negative aspect was the almost five hour round. The were no course marshals to ensure a good pace of play was being kept, and players in front had dropped at least one hole off the pace of those in front of them. Other than that I would love to play this course again.

Arrived early, starter allowed us to go off almost immediately, 30 minutes before booked tee time. All bar a handful of tee boxes are in good condition and those not so good we’re certainly playable without distraction from driving. Fairways had plenty of grass, revealing care and maintenance was being undertaken. Greens were mostly very good with a couple that needed a cut. Overall, a very enjoyable course to play.

Course layout was fine but the fairways were in a very poor condition. Grass was sparse on most fairways with lots of bare patches. A number of greens had different grasses growing which looked more like weed growth.. In general they’re appeared to be a general lack of maintenance. Notwithstanding this, the staff were very good and accommodating. With maintenance and course watering, it would significantly increase the pleasure of playing this course.

Considering it’s early March in North Virginia the course has come out of the winter we’ll, albeit a mild winter. The fairways are really nice with plenty of condensed grass cut short and generously wide. The rough can be challenging due to uneven growth of grass and with some small bearish parts which the ball seems attracted to. The areas that need most work are the Tee boxes where a few are almost bare if grass, the first part 3 being noticeably bad. The greens are generally fine but the golfers themselves could help by repairing their own pitch marks of which there are many. A lot of courses seem to have this problem with uncaring golfers. Other than that, an enjoyable course.
