Played GVGC today for the first time in several years. Course is in much better condition now. Thoroughly enjoyed our round today and the beer in the grill afterwards. Pace was excellent at 4:10. Will definitely return to play again.

We played Bristow Manor the day before Thanksgiving. Course is in great shape. We had a great value at $39. They are making several upgrades to the course (cart paths repaving, grill room updating) without affecting the playability of the course. My only complaint is that they turned up the fans late in the morning. Winds were gusting to 40 mph which made a challenging course that much harder. Overall, a great November day on the course.

Pleasant Valley was in good shape for a late season play. I feel we stole one from the weatherman (temps in low 70s, clear blue sky and a little windy) for the end of November. Course was in good shape and play moved along a good pace (4:15). Good experience overall. We will be back.

Course was in good shape. Pace of play was adequate- 4 hours. Staff was friendly. Only complaint would be the tee box conditions. They were pretty chewed up. Overall good day.

I returned to play a course that has not been on my radar for several years. Overall, the course was in fair to good shape. Tee boxes were okay, fairways had a few bare spots. Greens were in good shape and true, if somewhat medium slow. This is probably due to the early season and they are ready to be mowed to optimum playing length. Pace of play for the two of us was good - well under four hours. The rough had been cut once but is still US Open length (a common complaint at many courses this time of year). The highlight of my day was the eagle I made at #10. I jarred it from 140 yards out! The only downer - with the green being elevated I did not see it. I will return during the season.

Blue Ridge Shadows has been one of my favorites since it opened. I would play here often if it wasn't an hour from home. BRS has several signature holes that are challenging but very playable. The course is in good shape except for a few details. The greens have yet to start growing so there are some rough patches. Otherwise they are semi-fast and true. Fairways and tees are in good shape. The only flaw at this time is the bunkers out of sight of Route 522. They are in horrible shape and almost unplayable. I will be back to play again.

I had not played this course for over 10 years when the league I was in switched locations. Back then, course conditions had fallen off drastically. I have monitored reviews since then withi very few good ones posted. I decided to give Penderbrook a try on April 5th. As I played, good memories of why I used to enjoy this course came back. Layout is very playable and not so long that it is unforgiving. That said, conditions have improved somewhat but not greatly. Tee boxes need real grass, not weeds & dirt. Fairways are fair. There are a few areas of irrigation disturbance that need attention. I always putted well on the greens and yesterday was no disappointment. Not Oakmont or Augusta, but definitely worth a play if you can get a good deal.

Another warm winter day in NoVA. Weather was warm but windy. Course is in good shape. Greens are fast enough for winter conditions. Very enjoyable day.

Played here on 12/22/16. Warmish day in Dec. feel like we stole one from the weatherman. Course was in good shape. Pace of play was better than average at 3:50. Could have better except some walking golfers thought they were getting paid to play.

I was very impressed with South Riding on my maiden voyage there. Course was in very good shape. Greens were smooth & true. Some very difficult pin placements but manageable. Pace of play was just over 4.5 holes, mostly due to deep rough and leaves (not unexpected for fall golf). We will definitely be back.

It has been many years since I played at this course. Back then, it was a dog track. On a whim, I decided to give PWGC another try. I was most pleasantly surprised at the conditions and shape of the course. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The course itself was in excellent shape from tee to green. Billy Casper Golf has made an outstanding effort to bring this course back from the dregs. Every aspect of my round was positive. I will be back. Keep up the great work, guys and gals!
