Greendale Golf Course

Greendale Course was in good condition on that day. The greens were ok and tees still need TLC. One thing that was of concern was pace of play. The group I was playing did not like the fact that the group behind us started practicing swinging on same tee , simultaneous with our last guy teeing off. Was odd , charged it to non educated Golf etiquette of some people.

Idk what happened but i came here at the beginning of the season. Everything was great. Maintence seems to have cliffed dived. The tee boxes are more like rough and uneven. The rough is extra long but thats not so bad. The fairways arent bad. The greens though, they are what tee boxes should be. Gotta be the slowest ill ever play. Wasnt like that earlier this year. Staff was very friendly, wasnt very crowded. I wont play hear until i hear the greens are greens again. I still had fun though. You just gotta put extra hard on the greens. Rolled true despite the slowness. Fun round. Love golf. Come here on a hot deal and youll have a good time still. As long as your like me that is. Im still working out the major kinks in my swing so i hit more than a few astray. If your going for fun, its good. For competition id recommened elsewhere.

Overall the course was in good shape but the round almost took 5 hours and the greens were way too slow (shaggy). If you want to practice your game, this course is a good value to walk. Conditions and pace will frustrate good players.

I’ve never seen a course deteriorated this bad in a very short period of time. Stay away from this course…..it’s not worth playing it for free.

Course is fine outside of the greens because they were unbelievably slow. Was the length of fringe grass on other courses. I will play again if I hear the greens are in better condition

I will definitely go back, they are trying hard but the greens are in rough shape right now. Love the course, very challenging and pace of play was great.

From tee to green here you go.

Tee boxes are grassy which makes like playing from the rough. Fairways are acceptable but a mixture of crab grass and grass makes them inconsistent to play. The greens play like Laurel Hills fairways. With aeration, fluffy, and dead patches all greens are unplayable. Recommend Fairfax county closes the course for the winter for a total rehabilitation.

There had been a ladies tournament that completed just before our tee time, so the course was ours. Pace of play was excellent. However, we learned from the starter that the greens had just been punched 3 days prior (with very large times). Additionally, the front nine greens had tire tracks over very little grass. Add extremely slow greens all year, and pin placements on the front nine in places where the carnage was the worst, and you have unputtable greens. The back nine greens were markedly more puttable. No reduction in price for those conditions. Due to the hot, wet, then dry conditions, many fairways had burnt out spots. This course has some fun holes and could be a lot better than what we experienced. Once the greens recover (could take awhile), please cut and roll them. They’ve been EXTREMELY slow all year. For example, you have to hit a 20 ft putt like it’s a 100 ft put - and I’m not exaggerating! Staff was friendly as always.

It’s a good course for your dollar. It’s a good level of difficulty too to test your game as a novice.

Honestly I was not expecting it to be as nice as it was from prior reviews. I found it to be in better condition than some higher priced courses! I will definitely return!

First time playing here. Teed off at 0650 so there was def plenty of dew on the greens. That combined with the greens being perhaps a little long (grass height) meant the greens were really slow. We had to hammer putts to get them to the hole. Better putters than me will be able to adjust. Players need to do better at fixing their ballmarks (as usual and not the course's fault). Fairways were wide and firm, and rough wasn't too penal. I will keep this course in the rotation to play again soon.
