Greendale Golf Course

I have been on the search for "my course" in the northern VA area since moving here. I decided to try this course because it had decent reviews and is 15 min from my house. Upon arrival the staff are very friendly and everything is well organized and the club house, while small was well maintained. There was a putting green available but no driving range, just a net for one person to hit into. I was paired with 2 nice gentlemen that frequent this course and they were happy to guide me around. The lay out is nice as the front is rather open and the back tightens up to offer more of a challenge. They work in a fair amount of dog legs so shot makers and bombers have equal chance. The 2 sand traps I found myself in were well manicured and fluffy enough to out without much concern. The view from 17 is great and the venture back to the club house on 9 and 18 are very nice. The only draw back to this course was the condition. This may be because the amount of traffic they get but it was in rough shape. The fairways need attention but the main offender was the greens. They were all slow, but not consistently slow so it was difficult to get a good feel throughout the round. Some greens had bare sand/mud spots but all were riddled with unrepaired divots that made navigating them like traversing a mine field. My tee time was 9:20am so it isn't like they had all day to take the beating. This, unfortunately, was enough issue to bring my day down. It was frustrating getting gir and 3 putting to bogey because there was not a good roll to be had. If the greens were cleaned up I would come back but currently at its mid level price range you could do better paying much less at East Potomac for similar/slightly better conditions or a little more further out for much better conditions.

Moved very quickly, fairways were in good shape - greens/tee boxes were a little rough. They had just aerated greens. Pretty narrow for a sporadic driver like myself proved to be tough keeping everything in bounds. Overall solid experience though, I'd go back.

It was a very slow play day. It was cart path only and that created a back up on the course.

Highly recommend playing here! We always enjoy our round.

Beautiful, never boring course, great experience...!

Hadn't played here in years...won't go back...greens match pace of play...slow

I've been playing Greendale for over ten years and play there about once a month -- convenience and price. It's a good course to work on your game. There are a few holes where you can grip it & rip it, and several holes where club selection/shot making is crucial. The greens are slow, and a couple greens need attention.

I played this course for the first time and was surprised that it offers maintained greens and fairways, challenging dog legs and lakes to add to the scenery. If there was a a range to practice or warm up on there, I am sure the course would receive 4 or 5 star ratings.

I enjoyed myself but since the course was wet we had to keep the carts on the paved paths and that made for a very long day.

Need better drainage and more maintenance but still a good course for beginning golfers and intermediate as well

What a great staff, very friendly and accomodating. Course overall was in good shape and the greens were excellent condition. For a shorter course it has some very challenging holes. Pace of play (it was cool and overcast) was excellent for a Friday finished the entire round in 3 hours.

First, do not over pay for this course or you will be disappointed.
The greens are inconsistent and the fairways are not pristine. However, the staff is friendly and you can tell they care about the course. It is not easy to take care of a course like this one and I think they do a good job. The course design is excellent and challenging for any skill level. Greendale is one of the better muni golf courses in NOVA and golfnow's hot deals can not be beat!

The greens were slow and the fairways needed a lot of attention.

Pretty easy course to play. My only complaint is they lack a driving range.

Not good enough!!!
poor condition!!!

I didnt expect much this time of the year but the course conditions were actually not to bad. The greens were in fairly decent condition for this time of year. I wouldnt spend a lot of money on the course but for $20 with a cart on a friday afternoon, its hard to beat.

A great course to work on your game, plenty of room and a couple of good par 5's, great location as well. Tee boxes are not in great shape but then again any place that gets that much play would not be much different.

The course was not crowded, staff was friendly, conditions were ok for winter golf, played 18 in under 3 hours, great price w golf now

We had a great time at this course, and it was an excellent value for the money. The course was under a bit of construction, but the only issue that caused was it was a bit unsightly in certain areas, but those were easy to overlook as the construction never really got in the way of normal play. The only "complaint" I had was that on a few occasions, the yardage from the tee box on the scorecard and on the sign at the beginning of the hole sometimes differed, and I was unable to find a yardage marker on the ground to go off of. It wouldn't matter much if it were a few yards, but, in once instance, it was a difference of around 15 yards. All in all, it was a great course I would happily play again.

The course has some nice open fairways on most of the holes there are a few semi chalenging holes such as a par three over water and a par 5 with a creek crossing about 40 yards in front of the green hole 18 is a long par 5 from an elevated tee box where you can place a monster drive but still have a hard time getting to the green in 2.
