No beverage cart?

Whenever I cisit Orlando, I make sure to play.this course. Nice layout. Course seems easy off the tee but approach to the greens is when the course tests you. I’m just disappointed that you pay $100+ and No beverege cart. Seriously? Also, the GPS in my cart is off. Was on the cartpath but it thought I was driving on the green or a restricted area, so it crawled until it determine I was far enough from the “restricted” area.

Great time!

Played Crooked Cat today. Hadn’t played ONGC in about 10 years but the course still doesn’t disappoint. Awesome layout. Challenging but fair. Will play Panther next time.

Grow the grass

I enjoyed this course a couple of years ago and enjoyed it. This time around, the fairways and greens seem to be cut the same length. Very tight lies on the fairways. Most of your guests are amateurs and weekend golfers who come here to enjoy themselves. Grow the grass in the fairways.

Doesn’t disappoint

I always try to play here when in town. Course layout is fair and set up so people will be able to enjoy their rounds. Some greens need some work but it looks like they are working on it. Will definitely be back.

Still Awesome

Love playing this course. Layout can be tough but fair. However, what is the deal with the carts? Steering the cart was so hard! Its like a car that lost power steering fluid! I think I wore out my shoulder!

Where’s the marshal?

Played a 5+!round! For a two-some, that felt like 8hrs! Every shot was a 5-7 min wait. Played behind a foursome who were obviously new to the game. No shots traveled more than 100yds, including tee shots. What made it worse, is it’s cart path only so hit 40yds, to cart, walk to ball. Hit 100 yards, walk to cart. Spoke to the marshal and he had a word with them. I expected the marshal to follow them until they pick up the pace. What a wasted day, money, and game. I wanted to ask for my money back.

IMO, most courses need to institute robust marshaling. IMO, most courses fail in this fundamental duty.

I don't know if it's a budgetary thing or if courses are reluctant to tell paying players to either speed up or get lost...but whatever the reason, they compromise the experience of 99% of the paying players in deference to the 1% who ruin it for everyone else.

Again, just my observation in general.

Worth the drive

One of the most underrated courses in No Va. Nice layout and view of the Blue Ridge. Don’t mess around with the par 3 No. 10. Club up.

Don’t underestimate this “short” course

Great course! Starter gave great overview that helped me during the round. There are some challenging holes but not unfair. No tricks. Just make sure to play from the right tee box. Don’t get fooled by the total yardage. Will definitely come back again.

What happened?

I always thought this is one of the premiere courses in Northern Virginia. I played the course this past weekend I'm surprised at how it turned into a high end "muni". Let me list from the time I arrived.
1) Pro Shop - very bare. No sign of any partnerships with a major brand like Ping, Titleist, TM, etc. Most of the shirts on the rack are generic brand with the South Riding logo on it. Brand used by companies for swag. Most nice courses I've played in would have their logo on the more popular brands.
2) Snack Shop - Yeah, it's a snack shop you find in muni's like Twin Lakes and Herndon. Does not match with courses like Bull Run, Raspberry Falls, or even 1757.
3) Sand Traps - Not kept well. Grass/weeds are growing inside them. I saw one hole where they have mounds of new sand. How about the other 17 holes?

If it weren't for the friendly staff, I would not come back here. Actually, I will not be back until they fix the bunkers.

Too bad.

Thank you for your feedback and choosing to play SR.
1. We keep a very limited supply in the proshop because of competition with nearby big box stores. We can special order anything you'd like, but keeping a large stock is not in our plans in the near future.
2. Yes you are correct, our F&B operation is much smaller scale than some of the other courses in the area. We do make very good food, just limited menu.
3. They are being repaired and we've done a lot since the time you played.

We hope to see you later this summer for a better experience!

Great as always!

If the course was closer to home, I would buy a membership and play it again and again and..again. This challenges you but without any “cutesy” tricks. I was playing my 2nd 18 of the day and I hit a wall on the 17 which prevented me from scoring low. All good though, still a great experience. Definitely recommend to all in the DMV area. Oh, and I recommend the chicken salad sandwich, it had a little kick to it. :)

Have a plan and enjoy!!

Awesome course! I played this course for the first time on Tuesday, 7/7. I was in the bunker in 10 of the 18 holes and hit 12 shots out of them. So yeah, there was a hole or two where I was in the bunker more than once. Combine that with a couple of balls in the water, I barely broke a 100! Still enjoyed the day though! Came back in 7/9 and had a plan. If in doubt, stay short. Only became aggressive if there's a bailout area. Result? Zero bunkers and almost broke 90!! And that's with 3 balls in the water! The key here is to have a plan and play the correct tee box!! Great staff as well...from the clubhouse personnel to the starter! Definitely a must play when in Orlando!
