Raspberry Falls has been one of our favorite courses in the area for years, but wow, were we disappointed in the condition of the course! Tee boxes were in bad shape, greens were spotty and bumpy, sand traps were horrendous, bathrooms were dirty, ball washers literally had brown water, range balls no longer included if you get a discounted green fee are just a few of the noticeable shortcomings! Did something change with the management??

We had booked a tee time to play with out of town guests next weekend.....we are changing those plans after what we experienced. Sure hope things improve!

Course was in fabulous condition, personnel were great, TONS of undulation on fairways and greens....a couple of holes were borderline absurd! (Be sure to bring extra balls!) Still greatly enjoyed the round and would play it again.

I haven't played at Reston in several years......mostly because I would get frustrated by the pace of play. I found a "hot deal" for a weekday round so I thought I would give it another try. The pace on a Thursday was fine, but the course was in pretty rough condition. Huge clumps of crabgrass on most holes (which of course, where my ball always seemed to be), total lack of grass in places (including on tee boxes), and the greens were in pretty rough shape 2. (our threesome commented on 2 holes that actually had good greens, but that's a poor average!). Bottom line: sure glad I had a Hot Deal!

The course was in good condition and it was a beautiful day for golf, but we were a bit underwhelmed by Widgi Creek. Glad we had a "hot deal" from Golf Now because I wouldn't have wanted to pay more than we did. Very walkable and we enjoyed that.

We really like this course and we always look forward to playing here. The course itself was in good condition, although several holes had sand traps that more resembled a dirt road than a sand trap. (wasn't the case on every hole, but traps either had wonderful white sand OR they were horrible with hard-packed dirt and stones) It was obvious that no one was maintaining the non-course related details...........water jugs were empty, trash cans had trash spilling onto the ground. The cart girl was oblivious to where she drove or talked as people were hitting shots......isn't that in the "Beverage Cart Driving 101 handbook"????

All fixable items, so I hope the pro shop staff sees this review!

Always enjoy playing at Raspberry Falls but hadn't been here in a while. Definitely was reminded why I like this place!

We picked Alderbrook because of the high Golf Now rating and a great online rate. The course was in nice shape, but it was not an "interesting" or challenging course. The greens were very tricky, I will say. Hats off to their clubhouse.....delicious food and reasonable price!

We really enjoyed playing here! The course has a gorgeous (and at times challenging!) layout, and we even saw a bald eagle as we were playing. That was a first!
