It’s worth playing for practice

If you can get pass the geese droppings and muddy conditions, it’s a great par 3 course to polish up your short game and experiment with irons and woods.

Great Outing

Haven't had so much fun playing as I had at Burke Lake in years. I even learned a few things about my approach to the game. I'll be back!

Better courses in No Va than Burke Lake

As a par 3, walk only course, my expectations were already pretty low. But I was hoping the fairways would be wider and more forgiving. The course is compact leaving little margin for error. Few holes allow for a driver, so if you want to work on your iron game, this is the course.

Great Par 3 Course

Had never played an all Par 3 course before.

My initial skepticism vanished when I realized how great this is to tighten up your iron and short game.

Had a great time!

Aeration Surprise

Whole course (fairways & greens) were being aerated right up to my 2:50 tee time. Greens were heavily sanded and not puttable. Fairways and greens’ collars were spotty (extensive bare spots) and littered with hard, dry aeration plugs. What a mess! I made the tee time at Burke Lake so my wife could walk along with me. She bailed. I should have also.
