Greendale Golf Course

There’s a lot to love here. There’s a bit of construction ongoing, but the course has improved a lot this season. Solid pace of play (though I did get the sunrise tee time, so your mileage may vary)

This is a local public course in suburban Fairfax County that has been improved recently and regraded. It needed it, and since they have done it I move it to the good category. Amenities are sparse, does not have a range, only nets, a small shop and you can get a hot dog or sandwiches. Still, it has some water hazards and interesting holes.

The Greendale greens keeping staff has done a great job improving the conditions of this course. Greens are in great shape and the fairways are in good shape. Rough is grown up and pretty thick. Tee boxes are also in good shape especially given that this public course that gets a lot of play. Clubhouse staff is very friendly and always helpful.

Only issue was a couple foursomes that were ahead of us were slow and taking a lot of extra shots. Marshall did come out to try to address this.

I enjoyed playing this course. It was challenging in length without being punitive. The fairways could have been cut closer. The fairways were narrow and tree lined.

Spring time is the best time to play this course. Tees, fairways, and greens are in great shape. Unfortunately due to erosion the 6th hole, a par 3, is closed for many months.

The course is challenging with plenty of woods and water. The staff is friendly and helpful. Net warm-up area only.

Price is excellent and the course is walkable. Push carts are available.

Got there a little early thinking, hoping for a practice facility and walked into a putting green with only sticks in the ground and a 3 nets with a mat to warm up on. Then to have there starter ask me 4 times 20 minutes before our tee time was if they were going to show up. Then to be charged for a cart fee even though it wasn’t disclosed on golf now or admittedly maybe i didn’t read it but with have me pay all or nothing is preferred. Course lay out was fun. It’s short and narrow so no real need to driver. Greens were in rough shape majority had intermittent grass so had to play for bumps and jumps. Having to pay a total of $70 for this course is not worth it with other of same value being much more enjoyable. If you can get this course for $35 then it’s a gem. Just make sure to be on time and all of your foursome to be there or be prepared to be rushed off to the course.

While some parts of the course is under construction, still a great value. I would definitely go back.

Course was in very poor condition not to mention 2 holes were closed . 1 hole was shortened from a 5 to 3 par. The 15 other holes were in very poor condition. Finally you are charged full price to play. Never again

.

Easy to play and diverse layout. Part of the course is under construction so 2 holes are closed and a P5 converted to a P3. They let you play a couple extra holes to make up for the closed ones. Staff is great! Pace is fine and conditions are ok for the time of year.

Not worth paying more than $30 IMO. Hole 5 & 6 closed. Hole 7 par 5 turns into a short par 3. Greens need a lot of work...

I play a lot of golf on Fairfax County courses but had avoided Greendale due to poor reviews I’d seen online. I played there yesterday for the first time and was pleasantly surprised! Course conditions were excellent and the layout is fun. I liked it a lot and will return.

I like the location, and the staff was wonderful. But the course condition was pretty bad. The greens were terrible. I only ended up playing 9 (paid for 18), but after seeing the front, didn't want to chance walking the back in hopes that the conditions would improve. I played 3 or so years ago, and now I remember why I never think to play here more often. Sad, because the people who run the course are super nice.

Greendale is a joke. The tee boxes are dirt, the greens are tragic looking, the staff are pathetic gatekeepers of a dying golf course. Save your money, go elsewhere.
