Course , especially greens much better shape than have seen before . Couple greens need work but overall not bad. Very short , in between type course , between par three and regulation. Very tight thou so don't be too over confident , this course has no out. If offline it's gone. Nice for practice nine for hour and a half. Golfnow rate only way to go or way too much for rake rate. Tees , fairways just ok and traps never really come in play much.

Nice to know reviews are read. Water is now after 3 rd hole and 6 th hole . Great practice facility . Always use driving range but had not been on course a lot this summer . Greens very good shape and always an easy walk to hone wedges . Had some time was going to range to work on hybrids and three wood and decided warm up with wedges anyway so walked the course . Good idea. Got some work with pitching wedge and gap wedge on the nine . Greens are slow here and most courses I play much faster so really just use to practice reading any break. Then hit the range for long work and really nice couple hours . Driving range is huge so can vary target selection . Also now soon to get colder their mats are covered and heated so always get some iron work in even in winter here . For beginners or those working on game great facility to use .

Played few courses showing the burn of summer , but not here . Tee to green plush soft and very good condition. Only work to be done is in some of the traps. Some soft and others packed with weeds. Once the clubhouse built next year will be really nice. Little disconcerting to those new to course . Welcome center being used as pro shop and it's a mile through the subdivision from the first , tenth and practice facilities. Course layout thou makes a lot of sense and flows well. Be back next week.

Course in great shape. Tees , fairways and greens in very good shape. Found very few burn spots and traps good with plenty sand . Rough will eat your ball so spot it well. Course was busy but pace was still good . Interesting thou was the number of singles playing and some seemed to move around. had single in front of threesome and one behind but didn't want to play through and pair up so didn't worry if he waited at times. Also saw him playing the 9th hole and then followed us to 2nd tee. A lot of this course you can see adjoining holes and we were constantly going where did they come from, but pace wasn't disturbed so just kept moving on. Back nine more challenging from tee and a little tighter . Nice patio back of clubhouse overlooking 9 th grreen. Good day and will play again.

The three rating is for the people, the layout, the natural setting and the weather . All were great. The course is in rough shape. If I had seen some of the reviews before I played I would have taken pictures. Tees sandy with little grass. Fairways full of weeds and burned in spots. Sand traps forget. Hard , packed and full of weeds. Greens, well you know there is an issue when paying green fees and they are apologizing for the greens and in his words, especially the 18 th. Funny thing it looked about the same as the rest. Now we had a great day , really enjoy the layout . The staff was very accomadating and the grill very good. All we could think of is how nice the course could be .

Last reviews spot on. We had to start on tenth tee and first time playing so my perspective little backwards with layout. Walked up to tenth tee and as earlier review said wasn't sure if should just take pictures or tee off. Every hole imaginative and interesting. Course not for those that just want to grip and rip. Thinking back may have used driver only once.. None of us had ever played and club selection critical. Elevation changes , numerous turns and openings for great shots or disaster. Luckily course pretty empty so could take time to visualize next shot. Course conditions ok , but they are watering hard. They do need two things, one more cooler per nine and more signage for course direction. Left 13th tee and with no direction and followed signs to keep carts on path for long while before found sign that said 14th one way 17 th the other. We had an old yardage book from friend that really helped, without would have been a lot of guess work. Now have played very interested in going back with more confidence in club selection.

Reading reviews and I'm the last one from year and half ago. Well here goes again. I absolutely love this course. Short long bends right bends left and by far the best closing hole in the midatlantic. Such a variety and with the multiple tees you select your own challenge. Yes in a well developed area but the course has a great natural feel. Fairways laid out so you can take a real swing. As my last review , when Curtis Strange deigned the course he picked one hole from Augusta , St. Andrews , Rivieria and Pinehurst No, 2 so copy and just adds to the whole experience. The staff is outstanding , friendly and really give you a most welcome feeling. Practice surfaces very good and pro shop and bar very nice. Only negative is Bar area serves no real food mainly chips salsa but great place for drinks after round . After round grap beer in very nice lounge overlooking the beautiful 18 th. Lol playing partner, who had never played here before , returned the cart as I went in to clean up and when met him at pro shop he had already booked us a tee time for next week. Guess who will be back soon. What more can you say.

If you like a challenge and enjoy playing in very natural surroundings , this course is made for you . Housing development yet to develop so play in natural, quiet setting. Can play little long just because of all the strategically placed traps you'll try to avoid. Main reason writing this review is because of the thank you we received. Have played another course on the other side of Richmond this year where even though played at a very good pace the Marshall was always visible and seemed to be in a surly mode. Gave my playing partner very unwelcome feeling. Here noticed Marshall couple times and once passed him between holes and he stopped had short conversation and we moved on. My partners were in another cart , didn't hear and were anxious as to what was said. He stopped said we thank you for coming out and hope you guys having great day ,knuckle bump , and continued on. Needless to say We will be back soon, probably in next couple weeks.

Course is in very good condition and layout has some unique holes. Very close to Short Pump so very convenient to play. Greens are soft and does hold well, but as a result they are very slow . Pace here at times can be slow, but today even though nice crowd , pace was very good. Helps when have others out playing know how to maintain pace without making you feel rushed.

Last review I bragged how off the beaten path. Well everyone discovered the path . Had a 1110 tee time and got to tee after driving range at 1109 . Foursome on green and another foursome teeing off . Before we could tee off another twosome behind us. Luckily the four in front of us were playing best ball so moved ok. Issue finally arose at the 9th where big drop off to hazard in front of green and think foursome in front of 4 in front of us must have had an issue . Waited good ten minutes on tee box and the two behind us I think called it a day . Course in great shape and is a interesting layout . Luckily they had the grill going outside the clubhouse so didn't make the wait to tee off on 10 so bad . Had Brat and Beer at the turn and a very good barbecue sandwich after . There is a lot of positioning on this course and do prefer where can have at it , but will take the drive at times for the change . Again staff is great, very helpful , involved and there to make sure you enjoy your round . Will be back

Course in great shape. Down to see the LPGA at Kingsmill , so went down day early to try a course been told very challenging . Really did not think it play long , even with all the rain got some movement off our drives and were surprised how well the greens were rolling. Greens make it more challenging than the layout. Multi tiers and really need pay attention flag location. Only thing is love a natural , wooded course and this is for the most part played in neighborhood setting . Like the course thou and will play again when in the area.

Love that every hole is world onto its self. Only holes that you can view another is from the eighteen and I think ten as they take you out and in . Course conditions very good , considering all the rain. Yes little sloppy in spots but really amazing shape of fairways , traps and greens with all the rain. Very interesting layout that can play long , just because of the doglegs and startgically placed traps. This is not a walking course. Long cart ride through the woods from each green to tee, but just adds to the beautiful natural setting . Last time had to play through some wild turkeys , this time just saw a couple does . Very nice practice putting and chipping green. Only thing missing is a 19 th hole . For those of us that enjoy a good lunch, cigar and beer after round , this is a small issue. Love the course and always treated with great southern hospitality. Will be back even though I live 50 miles away in south west chesterfield. Oh and thanks to the inconsiderate people that had planned an outing there and cancelled at the last moment. Gave us a great round in 60 degree day , yes overcast, but enjoyed the round immensely .

Love the layout . I personally don't find it long , but you do have some blind shots . Once get around green , yes pay attention to the multiple tiers and slopes . Only negative is pro shop not built and amenities wanting. Point no relief station until the 13 th hole . You don't get back to the welcome center until the 17th. They do run a drink cart that helps. Played couple times now and does help getting to know how long and where to place tee shots and approach shots . Yes pay close attention to scorecard if first time or been awhile . Will be great once pro shop up and all construction done .

First before I forget, earlier review said not for high handicapper but I disagree. Not a lot of major issues, does not play long , and plenty tee boxes for your skill level. I always play white and friend who plays short plays gold tees and he thoroughly enjoyed it . Yes lots of contour and very unique the way fairways roll , but makes very very interesting layout. Front nine fantastic, but back nine has plenty of power lines that distract from the very natural feel rest of course gives you . Enjoyed the different lies and the unique hole designs make for interesting round . Will be back with another high handicap player who I think will enjoy the challenge . Just choose right tee box for your skill level and enjoy the day.

Amazes me the activity this very average course maintains. Location or just age of course it is always busy. First week April , temperatures low mid forties wind blowing 15-20 mph and still active. Not crowded and pace very good, but still more groups than I was expecting. Staff always accomadating. Now have only played course couple times , but to me average to fair at best. Layout ok , little short, but most holes not very memorable. Conditions thou are only fair. Fairways worst of any course in area that I have played. Grass hard to find in many and tee boxes very sandy. Greens ok , little slow but average . Traps hard and packed , but luckily only played out of one. Playing partner not so lucky and complaining how hard traps were. Never seen any real maintenance or work activity . Must be something to attract , because does get a lot of activity, just don't see the attraction.

Nice out of the way course. Not busy at all, so can play at your own pace. Greens ok , just aerated week ago but coming around . Fairways weak and traps look ok, but lucky enough to only play out of one. Not my go to course but nice for a change of pace . Long enough to have challenge , especially since is a little tight. Only complaint was and we are not sure why,but Marshall very visible. At first thought we were doing something wrong but think there was some kids out on spring break few holes behind us he was monitoring. Never said a thing to us , but drove by with little scowl and never said anything like smile great day you having good day whatever. Went passed us few times saw on at least four holes but gave us a little unwelcome feeling. Felt liked school mom was watching but affected my playing partner more than me. When asked if wanted to go in have beer end of round he preferred just to leave. Might have tough time getting him back there. We are not fast by any means but played 18 in a little under 4 hours so thought we were moving ok. Just felt strange being there was not anyone within a couple holes of us all day . Ah well, still had a great day of golf.

Course in good condition.. Just aerated greens, but overall course shaping up very good for the spring. Winds dominated the day , but course open enough for little push. Was crowded, but pace was good. All groups moved well so really never much of a wait. A few unique holes and some forgettable , can never remember front nine 3-6 . Rumors abound course will be closed in 3-4 years for Hhunt to develop , so enjoy while here .

Cottage good shape , road course needs work. Didn't get to play Lakes which is favorite. Crowded but pace always good here with multiple layouts. Cottage narrow and short . Road more open and Lakes most unique. Overall short course . Just nice comfortable course. Laid back , country feel with very nice nineteeth hole .

First the weather was beautiful. Needless to say course is not on the beaten path, so pace was fantastic. We would stop on the tee and just listen to the quiet. Being first time staff was a big help getting us started and Christine , enjoyed the beer and Brats after the round . Thank you. Course is a position and play. Tight and interesting, holes either short or long, not much in between. Little too tight for my driver except for a couple holes , but 3 u , hybrids and even couple irons used off the tee . A good Gps watch , which a playing partner of mine uses and my laser finder came in handy. More strategy here than most. Need to spend a few more seconds on the tee figuring how to attack each hole depending on your length. Grass still dormant but the greens are ok. Looking forward to playing in the spring .

Nature and country. Peaceful, slow and nice natural feel. Average layout with little tightness to its feel. Woods and nature predominate. Greens good and fairways in good shape. Yes traps are hard , not the fluffy feel, but had rained week before and some fairways very muddy on the sides. Course will not drain well so yes traps will be more of a chip not an explosion . Good value when get hot deal rate, but yes rack rate would be high for quality of course. One marker on each hole , white post with black painted top we think was 150 yard marker. Only other markers are painted lines on cart path. Won't be a must play but nice for a change of pace, with a good golfnow rate.
