Nice course
I have read some negative reviews on this course and I don't get it. The course was in fine shape and the staff was very friendly. Yes the clubhouse could use some freshening up and there was no bev cart available, but that seems to be common these days. Guess I'm not a golf snob. Going back to play again in a couple of days.
One of the worst experiences in golf
I have played here before and it was an average course to play on. But this time around it was absolutely horrible. The tee boxes were like concrete. The greens were in horrible shape with crab grass, bare patches, and divots that were never fixed. The fairways were not well taken care of or cut. I will not be returning here. If you truly appreciate the game of golf, save yourself the trouble and go somewhere where they actually care about and take pride in there course.
Course needs help
$30 for the round and I over paid. The greens are just about gone. Weeds and crabgrass everywhere. The fairways and bunkers are ok, but when you can putt it's hard to enjoy the round. I hope they can fix this problem because it's a fun course to play.
You get what ya paid for.
This course has so much potential. Good luck putting as they have small fern like patches all over the green. Felt like I was putting in my front yard. On rare occasions, the fairways will have good quality grass in areas. By far the best pace of play cause my nephew and I were the only ones out there. Only paid $21 for 18 holes. So it’s really hard to complain. But only play here if ya really need to
Ok for inexpensive practice round.
Course has seen better days. Fairways are a little rough as are the greens. Greens are slow.
This course has no golf range, just a putting green for a pre-round practice.
Old Rapidan SSFARMS GC 07122023
Fairways in great shape. Some greens have had possibly crabgrass pot marks and balls bounce.
Bunkers are unplayable, lack of sand.
They have taken down many of the off fairway vegetation and trees.
The course is very golfer friendly.
Good for the money
Nice layout and some challenges.
Local knowledge will help🇺🇸
Balls galore
If you are ever low on balls go to this course. The course is in good condition, not great.
Good time
As always the staff very friendly the t boxes need serious work the fairways are coming in nice. All the greens rolled true though a little fury and some had dead spots I will definitely play again
Had a good time
Only complaint I have is the cart path gets rough and the greens were a little rough. Other than that my son and I had a good time.
Course in rough shape
The course was in pretty rough shape. The tee boxes barely had grass on them and it was practically concrete packed clay. It was extremely hard to get the tee into the ground. The fairways had large area of exposed clay and rock solid.
The greens were very slow and have seen better days.
First time experience
This course needs help,with out a big improvement players will stop coming.
Had a lot of fun golfing. Staff was great and very helpful. Only problem we had was that the dining room was not open, so we were unable to get anything to eat except for snack stuff.
Working to improve
Played here for years, new owners and starting to see improvements. The bunker have greatly improved as well as play ability is improving. The green still ha a way to go.
Where are the improvements?
Dear Mr. Dotson:
It has been a few months now since you gave the management company the boot. Why are the greens getting worse? We were told the greens would be back. There has been no aerification, nothing done by the new superintendent. Greens are worse than they were in the summer.
We members, and regulars, are so frustrated. Please help.
A Shame What Has Happened to this Course
As a former member at Rapidan, I was completely disappointed in the condition of the course and the price for 9 holes. The tee boxes are like rough and the greens are almost unplayable. Sadly this course is no longer worth playing!
