Somerset Farms Golf Course

Been playing here for many years with the Thursday Seniors League. Have seen the highs and the lows of the course. The new team managing the course is doing a great job bringing the course back to life. For the first time that I can remember the greens were actually a little too fast for my taste. Overall our group is looking forward to the golf season this year.

Terrible condition. Greens were a sandy mess with little actual grass. Pro shop said they had been aerated a couple of weeks before; I can’t imagine what they looked like before. Layout was OK but couldn’t really enjoy playing because of the conditions. No range either.

Carts have two (2) UBS plugs for charging cell

Phone etc

Tee box's poor condition the overall Virginia area had too much rain a a number of course had problems beyond reasonable

Weather conditions

We played via golf now

This course has had its share of ups and downs. Most recently this past summer, the greens were horrendous, and the rough was out of control. My group just played today after we had heard through the grapevine that the conditions had improved, and that’s no joke. The greens are in decent to great shape now. They still need some work, but wow what a difference a few weeks have made. The rough was playable all around as well. The property has such a great layout, and with the right TLC this will be one of the must-play courses in VA!

On a scale 1 to 10 I would give you the green and -2. Even the branches on the cart path we're hitting the roof... The weather was a factor and then that could be held but they had no Club covers on the back of the car. I will never go back again

I play here usually once or twice a month. The property has taken a hit this season, but in the past month there has been a vast improvement in greens quality and course conditions. The food is average, and there is no driving range, so it’s tough to get warmed up for a round. The property itself is very historic (there’s an old civil war era house adjacent to the first few holes) and the place will be fantastic once the workers get everything back into shape.

This course would be magnificent if it were in good shape. Regretfully, many of the greens are burnt out where your putt will be crossing bare patches on almost every hole. Also, the tees, (and I'm using the term generously), were a mixture of mud, crabgrass and sand.

That being said, the people were extremely nice & helpful and it was obvious that they are trying. However, we will not be back until we hear that the course has been improved.

Rock hard tee boxes, broke 3 tees just trying to place them. Greens and fairways burnt out from sun and heat. Granted it has been hot lately but I have 5 other course in a row all week. They seemed to be holding fine. Crab grass is only grass present in green and fairways. Clippings in rough were thicker than the rough itself, I think someone could have rolled the clippings into hay bails. Extremely disappointed and walked off the course on #3. Waste of time and money, won’t return for a long time. Worse course I have ever seen in 15 years of playing.

Slightly disappointing, Mother Nature has been tough on the course. Usually plays better!

Weeds on tee boxes and on some fairways but greens were good and fairways good overall.

The front 9 was great but could use a cut on fareway as weeds were growing, tees boxes were in good shape.. now the back 9 is a different story the tee boxes were spotty and bare with dirt to hit off of, fareway were ok but rough was like playing in your back yard, all the greens were hard but in ok shape. But for the price of 18 bucks can’t complain to much I guess

Greens were acceptable, but the fairways were not. The course conditions have gone downhill since last year. Even the tee boxes were in poor shape. Also, like many courses, a ranger is needed to speed up play. There were multiple holes open in front of the group ahead of us, yet they never offered to let us thru. A ranger can fix that.

I played about a month ago and the course was in pretty rough shape, but now they seem to be doing a lot better. The food was good and I always love talking with the younger guys in the pro-shop, they are nice and one of them helped a little with my back swing. I'll definitely be back there soon!!

Friendly staff great location needs more selection in pro shop and kitchen

The course needs work. The fairways the grass was higher then the ball, and the rough was rough.Played it 2 weeks ago and it was better, its like someone forgot to work on the course....Not worth the deal of $18 I paid....

Hard teeboxes with sparse grass...inconsistent fairway grasses and “backyard” rough...excellent greens (that could use a cut) on the best overall layout within 50 miles. If the decision-makers would get their heads out of their ***** and invest some money this would be the best course in the Spotsy/Orange/Culpeper/Stafford area!

We played on a Sunday at about 11a for less than 30 bucks a person so you can't beat that. Course was in decent shape. Greens were a little hard but to be expected with the lack of rain. Course layout is interesting and keeps it entertaining. Wish they had a driving range and put a little bit more money into the course as you find a lot of areas with dead grass or patchy areas where you ball is between a dead spot and grass. But overall a good inexpensive track.
