An Easy Walking Course

An easy Sunday walking course. This course has come along way. A very tight straight forward course. Golfers should play the tees suitable to their handicap. Most players select the White tees one forward from the Championship tees; however, most should play from the yellows based on their handicap and course rating.

Great value and condition

Great condition. Greens were is really good shape: receptive to good shots and rolled well but a bit slow for now. Fairways were well cut and in good condition. Pace was quick for Northern Virginia.

Not Playing Here Again

Played this course twice in one week and had bad outings both times. The rough was wayyy to long and we lost more than a couple balls close to the fairway on decent drives. Went in the middle of a busy Saturday and had to play around the lawnmower all afternoon. For the money play anywhere else.

Spring Golf

First, I will say the course was in very good condition. However, this course is nothing more than a golf slogg. Narrow fairways on just about every hole with the greatest challenge being how strait you can hit your ball off every tee . Should you be unfortunate enough to get in the bent grass rough...good luck finding your ball! I am an intermediate golfer who has played over thirty courses in the DMV. I could not wait for this round of golf to end. This course may interest some but I hated it!

Shake off the rust

Great for practicing controlled shots. It’s a very short course, but tight. The fairways are only 17-20 yards wide. The rough is thick - right now at least. Greens are pretty slow, but in good shape. Easy 3.5 hour walk. No range. No putting green. No need to come early. Take a two off number one.

Great Municipal course

Greendale is one of the best of the municipal courses in the area. $49 is a good price for a Friday afternoon tee time on a course of this quality. Greens and fairways are maintained well. It might not provide the views or amenities of a Stonewall or Westfields, it is a solid round with a friendly staff that keeps things moving on time.

Stay away!!! Run away!

Easily the worst golf course in Northern Virginia...if you've ever teed it up and putted on a construction site, you'll feel right at home. I am furious that anyone would take my money, knowing what lunarscape this place is!

Play only if you MUST

Played here 5 times, will probably never play Greendale again. For nearly $60 on a weekend, you would expect more than what you get. No driving range, very rude and unpleasant staff (Starters especially) and extremely poorly kept. The greens are the slowest greens I have ever played and I've played some true dog tracks. If you don't check in 30 minutes before your tee time, they give you slot away - because, you know, getting to a course early to sit and wait with no practice range is ideal. The layout is decent and you can put up a number if you can ever hit a putt hard enough. Clubhouse is pathetic. If you're looking for rude, bossy folks and terrible playing conditions this place is for you!

Condtions much better this year

In 2013 the greens and fairways were in awful shape but yesterday (6-6-14) they were much improved. Greens were very smooth and uniform. My only complaint with this entertaining course is the way they mow the fairways. Although they look wide from the tee, only the center 30 yards or so is closely mowed. 20 yards on either side is a "first cut" in which the ball nestles down, making the second shot tough if you don't "improve your lie," i.e. cheat. To the outsides of the first cut is usually dense woods that you can't even enter to look for a ball.

Great Public Course

I enjoyed nearly every aspect of my round at Greendale aside from the score I posted. Every physical aspect of the course was in fine working order; the greens, the tee boxes, and the fairways were in great shape.

My only complains about the course were minor. First, this was a LONG course...or at least it felt that way having walked it. A few of the Par 4 holes were borderline Par 5 length so be warned that your score will suffer as a result. The second issue I had was with the flags in the middle of the fairway on doglegged holes. I'm sure the flag was meant to serve as a fairway marker, but I don't understand the point of them and just wish they'd taken them away.

Great Course For All Levels of Play

Great course for all levels of golfers in the Northern VA area. The fairways are open enough to let the driver go but if you let go too much, they can not be so forgiving as the trees and sand bunkers are near the greens. On this course, you have little room to hit off the fairways and still be able to recover for a decent score. Its probably best to play it safe and straight ball to stay close to par golf here.

Great value and layout

I play this course often because it allows me to use a lot of different clubs. The layout is fantastic with one hated whole, #17, which must have been designed by a drunk. There are drainage issues on 2 holes, #12 and #13. The greens are slow and some really need work (#13 had tire tracks in it all summer long.) Despite those issues, it is a beautiful setting and is a big enough course at a reasonable price to work on your game. If you can score on this course, whether from the tips or mens tee, you can manage any course.

Pace of play can be pretty slow, so be patient. Overall can't beat the price.
