Lake of the Woods Country Club

Fairways are in bad shape. Missing grass patches and are mostly like cement.

Good if you like a lot of roll!

Greens and rough in good shape. Fairways have bare spot every where…lack of water? Great pace of play, my twosome finished in less than four hours.

Nice place, friendly professional staff, the grass needs rain! Very dusty but had a great time. Once spring kicks in things will change but right now the ground is hard and in need of water.

Choose to play here because we couldn’t get a tee time at the course we were looking to play. First, the greens are absolutely incredible. Looks like they were recent redone and looked great. I had my youngest kid playing with me so I also liked having the options of the multiple tee locations for each hole. It was very helpful and made it more enjoyable for him. Next, the bad… The fairways were HARD as rocks and gave no forgiveness if you hit a shot fat. It played like they hadn’t gotten water in months which was odd because the week before, our area had received a lot of rain throughout the week. It had even rained pretty hard the day before so I was shocked by how dry and hard they were. All in all, for the price you’ll pay, it’s a decent round. Definitely nothing super negative to say.

Excellent layout, friendly staff and great amenities! Well worth the drive to Orange County!

Great shape for this time of year! Greens are extremely fast!

Summer grass in fairways that will not start growing for a couple of months, so lots of hard pan lies. Greens were great shape though and very fast.

Some of the best greens in the area. Worth the trip to play if you like fast greens.

Couldn’t beat the friendliness of the staff and the course conditions for December were great!!

Must hit it straight or bring a couple dozen balls. Greens are fast and undulating . Not for beginners . . Lady bartender not very cheerful . That’s why you always see men waitstaff mostly at higher class restaurants and bars . No drama , just professionalism . Sorry , I’m a fan of nice women bartenders but without the attitude

The course is a great shorter course and in really good condition, not too difficult but it does help if you can shape your driver both ways. Bunkers with new sand and the course has Bermuda grass. Players don't do a good job repairing pitch marks so if you are mid day - may have some bumps but the greens were rolling with a bit of a quickness. The only real downside is no driving range but a good practice area and putting green. Overall a great place to go for the money.

I played with some friends in the week after Labor Day. We had never played the course. The staff was very accommodating and it was not difficult to get a tee time. We were aware ahead of time that the course has no practice range. In a community of this size with the amount of play the course should get, that seems to be a big omission.

A few points about the course's playability on the day we were there. The greens had been recently aerated. They were very slow and not very playable. There had been a fair amount of rain in recent weeks, and even the day before we played, yet we found the course from tee to green to be extremely dry and hard. The bermuda turf in the fairways was thin and wispy and did not give much of a cushion for shots as bermuda normally does. Given that there is a lake directly adjacent to the golf course that could provide ample irrigation, it was baffling to me that the course should be so dry. Also given the layout of the course with many extreme elevation changes and blind shots, a fair number of what were judged by eye to be well aimed tee shots found their way into the trees off the fairways. Overall, the course seemed to lend itself to more of a target golf approach that I was not expecting and am not so fond of. We probably won't be playing here again.

Fairly narrow layout winding thru a neighborhood, not overly long, but challenging.. Good conditions tee thru green, especially the bunkers. Some of the best I've seen around Central VA as of 08/31/21. Played and just under 3 hours as a single on Tues afternoon and still had a single hacking it around right behind me the whole day. Meanwhile stuck behind a slow 2some the entire front 9. Clubhouse staff could do a little better pairing up groups to keep consistent pace throughout the course, but otherwise a nice day
