Island 9 and Longest Hole 9

Course conditions were above average. There were some rough spots on the fairway but it will not mess up your play. The greens are quite fast when playing down hill or from the fringe. Tee boxes were good. The one thing you will be frustrated by is the rough. It is about 3 in deep and you can easily lose your ball so be leery of that. Otherwise 0 complaints and you get your value. Some of the friendliest staff too. New management is doing an A+ job

Maturing Meadows Farm

The course was in very good condition, but the rough was a little overgrown. It's very easy to loose balls in the rough just off the fairway. The course is maturing very well, the fairways are still a little overgrown in places. Still, it's in better shape than what I've seen in the last 3 years. Old management really let it go to the DOGS. " KUDOS" to the new management. I love your military rates, don't change, lots of military in the area that are looking for something more economical. I'll bring Wounded Warriors on my next trip.

Good value for the money.

The course is in pretty good shape. Greens and tee boxes are good but the fairways need some attention as some weeds are beginning to take hold.

Really good deal

Enjoyed a great pace of play, and it was very wallet friendly also. Only down side to the deal was that the greens had been aerated then not filled with sand. Still a great deal. I will definitely be back to playwhen the greens hhave filled in.

winter golf

Always a fun time at MF. Funny watching the ball land on ice instead of in the water. Definitely saved a few strokes but that's the advantage of golfing on a warm winter's day.

best course in the area!

With it's great bermuda fairways and challenging rolling hills, this course is fun to play again and again. It's certainly my favorite course in the area. It has cheerful staff, an inviting clubhouse, and a great variety of difficulty throughout its 3 different 9 hole layouts (plus a warmup hole on the island nine). You simply can't beat it for the price and i feel a need to mention that the food there is pretty good too. All in all I've never had a bad experience there and I can't wait to play it again!

Despite the cold a good day

Frost delay and wind tried to ruin the day but the sun came out and everything improved. Green and tee boxes good. Staff great as always. New owners working hard at repairs and improvements and new PGA pro doing the same.

Course in great shape

Course well taken care of. Very fast greens. Only problem I saw was the starter was doing a poor job of getting people out. Course has three nines and all were being used. We teed off 15 minutes after our scheduled tee time. Backed us up behind a slow foursome when other nines were open. Once they let us thru we played at a nice pace.

Great course, great day!

Was very surprised at the openness of the course. Especially after driving through acres of woodlands to get there in the heart of Civil War Battlefields. Course has many scenic views, i.e. Waterfall Hole, Civil War Hospital, old family cemetery, baseball par3 hole. Starter was very friendly, but 19th hole staff were preparing for a wedding and had little time for golfers. Three 9-hole courses to choose from. Did not play the Long Course which is known for its Par 6 hole claimed the "Longest in the USA". Fully enjoyed our round, not too difficult except for the littering of leaves to sort through for your ball. Will definitely play this one several times again.

Fun for Beginners and Family Outings

I took my wife with me just to get out of the house as she plays golf about 2-3 times per year. Its a fun layout and entertaining to play. Not necessarily very challenging, so if you're looking for a challenge you may be disappointed. If you just want to have a fun golf outing, I highly recommend this golf course.

Variety Abounds

When I booked the round, I did not notice that the greens had just been aerated. They were just okay. The course was in very good condition except the greens and the the wood pilings that existed on many holes. They were out of position and pointing in many different directions. This needs to be corrected.
I played the Island and Waterfall nines. The greens were very undulating, particularly the Waterfall nine. This course is showing its age and needs some work. Having said that, the grassy areas were nice with few bare spots. The fairways provided beautiful spongy lies that allowed the club to pick the ball easily. With some cosmetic work, this could really be a beautiful course.
The practice hole on the Island nine was a nice touch. I played well and brought my handicap down. This is a course with many different looks and various length holes. we had a very good day.

Worth the visit!

If you don't like crowds, this is the place to golf!
If you like a carpet like fairways, this is the place to golf!
If you like waterfalls, wildlife, and history this is the place to golf!
Everybody and I mean everybody went out of their way to be helpful and friendly!
These are just some of the reasons I return as often as possible!

Very Nice Course

Greens and fairways are in excellent shape. There was a tournament going on, but there were still 9 holes available for play. Because of the tournament, I had to play the same 9 holes twice. All in all, a very enjoyable experience. Most holes are not too difficult, but there are a few that can quickly cause trouble.

The whole day was awesome!!!

Everything about the whole day was great. Starting with the reception in the clubhouse to the grounds keepers cutting the grass, all were very helpful! Like when we were turned aroung and heading to the wrong hole! LOL. We had a great time playing that we played all 27 holes. Will recommend and will play again!

Improved conditions, Staff is friendly, not sure worth the higher price

The course was fairly empty compared to previous years. The new ownership has done a great job with the course conditions, fairways and greens were in good shape though the price seems high for location and quality. I can get a similar experience and a shorter round at Rapidan Golf. If you live in Fredericksburg there are better options for the quality and price.

Nice, For a Change

Wife and I played. Pace was nice and comfortable, on a beautiful day. Course was in good shape, and staff were friendly. We were disappointed, in that the advertisement we saw boasted good food at the grille, yet they were out of chicken (we wanted chicken sandwiches, instead of the burger/hot dog routine). So, we just purchased 2 cokes (almost $6.00 - ridiculous), and left. Suggest drop your drink prices - as after on the course all day, hot, and having already paid to play - there needs to be some reward/incentive (good price on the drinks, to have folks come back, instead of them leaving feeling they were ripped off). A very small price to pay/reduce price/adjustment for drinks for happy faces and wanting to them to return. Place needs to be better prepared - they could have gotten probably another $20.00 out of us, had they been better prepared and not out of chicken . Overall, the experience was different and okay; nothing "extremely" nice or sensational. We did feel VERY uneasy/unsafe on a few holes, where others at the T Box behind you couldn't see you in the fairway, due to the terrain. I know there are bells at some holes, but there were still at least 3 more holes #we played Falls/Longest# where more safe bells need to be placed. I know the course has been there a long time, but this needs to be done ASAP - we had 1 ball rain down on us from behind - wasn't player's fault - couldn't see us. Also, our first time playing at this place, once out on the course, we were shocked that the score card has no lay-out of the holes! We'd probably play there again, if some of these safety measures are put in. As said above, we had one close call, with a ball from behind coming down on us. Management, I hope reads this review and makes the improvements. I would identify the holes, but I can't because the card we had/now have here at home 1 1/2 hours away, does NOT give a hole by hole layout. If management wants to offer us a free round to come back and play same 18 - we'd gladly make the trip and identify those holes, to help you out. Course/Player Safety is # 1!
