Downhill

I’ve played this course for the past 3 years and the greens this year are having troubles…. Creeping grass and sprouts inevitably will misdirect your putt and frustration ensues….
The pace was lethargic, the drink cart always seemed to be at the middle of the hole serving the group in front of us-
The staff was great but the clubhouse is showing it’s age….
I’ll check you again in a year and see if you have fixed the greens.

Time to heal….

I played this course 2 years ago and loved the layout, but time has not been good to this old girl….
The greens are scarred with bare spots and dead grass. Super slow and although undulating, the cups were burnt in like they haven’t been changed.
The value- discounted afternoon rate is fine and only saw 2 other groups but still wishing the conditions were more improved.
The awning on the outside patio has seen better days and now shows severe wear. Please support the course, but the course needs an infusion of $ to repair that which is broken now.
Good luck to this good track.

A good test of ball striking

This course is sneaky good… The greens are in phenomenal shape although still healing from a recent punch they were all true and not once did I think the ball was affected by an old hole. The way the course meander through the community is pleasant and well laid out without being too obtrusive to the course. The first few holes I was a little skeptical thinking that this might be just your average community Course, but as the holes continued on I realized how much I was enjoying the layout.
Test your skills and see what you can do from this 6500+ lay out that may not be stretched but it’s definitely medium to difficult.
I think you’ll agree with me that you’ll return to try again.

Don’t be too judge-y....

Are the fairways dry.... yes
Are the greens spotted- yes
Are the traps thin- yes

Can you get past your hang-ups for playing a perfect course in Florida in December to understand Bermuda is not growing and this course layout has stood the test of time??? I hope so....

This is a classic old-school Florida course winding through majestic Spanish oaks and the homes and condos lining the holes are close like an uncle leading down the fairway... as you play, you can see yourself playing here into your 80’s and enjoying a community of golfers.

Now, if you up on your LOW-T medication and approach this course with reckless decisions of “I’M GONNA HIT DRIVER EVERY HOLE FROM THE TIPS DUDE....” please play elsewhere... this is a shot-makers course with layups, good decisions and a thoughtful mind required.

Once the course helps you with proper lines achieved and scores go low, stop by the grill located at the top of the clubhouse. We enjoyed the seats at the bar and chatting with the attentive staff.

I started out checking if I took my meds and ended really respecting this track. I hope you can secure the financing that will return it to its forner glory and properly display this hidden gem.

Coming back or failing?

First I’d like to say that the track layout is not horrible, however the mismanagement of the facility is disappointing.
Has the watering system broken? Under construction? Waiting for God to take care of the watering?
This course is DRY... tee boxes are brown and cracking, the deep tees on 9 look abandoned.
The greens on several holes were not cut around the edges, just straight cuts raised before getting to the edge.
I guess I received what i paid for on a hot deal from GN, but I’d come back and play if Billy Casper management improves the facility.
Stopped in to the restaurant for a bite at the turn and nothing was available for a quick takeaway.
Please respond and give us a plan, because you need one to get this course back into shape....

Thank you for taking the time to leave us some feedback. The input of our guests is very important to us as we constantly work to improve the golf course.

In response to some of your questions;

The course is a bit dry due to no rain and high temps for the last week, however the brown you see out there is actually due to a full course herbicide application that went out for nutsedge. That is a tough weed to knock back and the product is strong, so when it goes out the course does tend to look "dried out" for 3 to 5 days. However, the nightly irrigation and hopefully a bit of rain in the near future will have it green again and the thin areas will fill in quickly. We usually follow these herbicide apps up with a round of fertilizer to help that process along.

The back tees on 9 actually are in the process of being abandoned. That area will just barely fall into the property line of one of the new homes that will go up in the future. Over the weekend, a golfer actually moved a set of tee markers back there for a period of time before we caught on.

The greens cut you are describing is lacking what we call a "clean up lap." The greens get cut in straight lines and then at the end the operator is supposed to go around the edge with a lap in order to get the areas they couldn't get with the straight lines. We will discuss that with the superintendent as that is normally done, but it seems it was not on the day of your visit. That could be due to an equipment breakdown or an employee call off that day, but leaving that undone is definitely not intentional and will be looked into.

As for the restaurant, we chose to take the approach to make everything to order in order to make sure the quality of the food is always high. However, that does result in the drawback of not having anything ready for a grab and go. We carry snacks in the pro shop and we do advise our golfers to call in to go orders at the turn. We apologize for the inconvenience of this and hope we can better meet your needs in the future.

Overall, the course should bounce back from the herbicide very quickly. We know it makes the course appear a little rough around the edges when the application first goes down, but in the long run it will actually improve the conditions. A little bit of time and perhaps a good rainfall or two and everything will be green and have healed up.

Once again, thank you for your honest feedback and we hope to see you back in the future.

Good, but issues

First off- I love this course! The layout is challenging but fair.
However, there are spots in many fairways that are burnt and no sign of recovery- granted this is the first time I've seen it there, but disappointing on an otherwise good place to play.
Food and beverage are awesome- great beers on tap for the 19th hole and decent apps.
SPGC is still one of my favorite courses and I'll be back-

A quality test

This course throws everything at you in one round! If I lived closer, I could play it every day!
Conditions were excellent, lots of different shots were required from the tips and it was a challenge all day.
I would recommend to anyone, and as a 2.5 index, it was a great challenge at 6900+ and 145 slope... Awesome!

Shot maker's paradise

You can't beat the scenery... And it's a good golf course too!
Tucked away on the Occoquan river is a gem of a course, with natural hazards on almost every hole.
I have always played here when my game needed some relief from the "bang the driver on 14 holes" and instead I hit driver once, on number 1. Playing conservatively and exercising patience around this course is a must for a great score. Many of the holes have 90 degree turns and being able to hit a number to have a shot at the green is a good skill to have when playing this course.
The conditions were good, greens are good, but show some wear, and the fairways have more divots, not filled, than they should, however, I love this course as I played every club in the bag and every par three was a different club.
The clubhouse is gorgeous and if it's a nice day, the deck and patio on the back of the clubhouse is perfect for watching golfers come down 18.
If you don't score well here, it's most likely because you attacked it with a driver and couldn't hit a 200 yard club off the tee to avoid most trouble; but if you can silence the big dog and skillfully think your way around, you will see the shotmaker's dream of a course as it was designed.
Always a little windy because of the river, but fair and greens roll well.

An excellent day, guaranteed!

Westfield's has always been one of my favorites, their level of service is top notch and the attention to detail is fantastic.
The sand traps have been redone with pillow soft sand that is excellent to play from. The rangers, starters, beverage cart, bartenders, pro shop, everything is excellent here.
Plan nothing after the round, because the food and bar are great and I always enjoy the atmosphere of this clubhouse.
This course has some of the most beautiful holes in NOVA. The difficulty is only as hard as you choose. Men's tees from 6000-6800 yards makes it very accessible. I played up a tee box and had a great time, and still very challenging!

Tough on time- great on value

Played on Father's day and I knew it would be slow. However, the Value of the golf course more than made up for the lack of speed. From the tee box to the green, the maintenance staff has done an excellent job. I might suggest that the course employ a ranger to help find tee shots, help players move faster and enjoy their round more. The lack of supervision gave some the "I paid, so I'll take my time" attitude.
An easy walking course, very flat and close proximity of greens to tee boxes made me wish I walked.

Always a challenge- great layout

Greens are in excellent shape for this time of the year, and the zoysia grass is almost dormant, leaving good lies in the fairway. Staff was inattentive and bored.
I will play winter golf here again.
