Wonderful Course- Great Value
Rated in the top 10 courses in the state. Amazing for a public run course. Greens in fantastic shape, with undulations which make it challenging but fair. Every time I’ve played the starter has allowed us to leave early. Very enjoyable and worth the drive. Once you’ve played it, you’ll find it one you’re going to play many times...
Enjoyable day
The course has made wonderful improvements to the greens. The fairways are in good condition with the ruff cut back so a ball hit off the course can normally be found without much difficulty. Most tees are also in very good condition.
Nice Course
Nice municipal course, well maintained. Green were fast in the heat. Most traps (yes, I found several with errant shots) were dry and sandy.
This is a nice course that a novice or expert would enjoy.
jdrupel, thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Dogwood Trace Golf Course.
Great course
Awesome course very pretty layout. But green conditions suck. There are literal craters on the greens. Not one person fixes their ball marks.
Thank you for the helpful feedback and four stars. We'll pass it along to our management team.

This course is a hidden gem. I have golfed here numerous time and I can always look forward without hesitation for the same each and every time.. The entire staff is extremely friendly, the practice area for bunker, chipping, pitching and full swing warm-up range are always in excellent condition. The golf course is extremely well kept and the greens have always been medium fast to fast depending on the weather.
Your feedback is important to us, notmuchbetter. Thank you for sharing your 5-star experience. We look forward to seeing you again at the course soon! Thanks for choosing Dogwood Trace Golf Course.
Hello, eldoubleugee. Thank you for your 5-star rating! Please book another round with us soon at Dogwood Trace Golf Course!
Love the layout
The tee boxes and fairways are in excellent shape. The greens were just plugged and sanded. I understand the work must be done to maintain the greens however that should be noted when booking.

Good bang for you buck
This is actually going to be my home course! The only complaint I have is the pace of play. I understand that every individual person has their own pace however you have a few bullies on the course that make it difficult for novice players. For example toward the end of the course it feels a little rushed. And I think that’s because of the teetimes being so close to each other. I had a teatime at 10:45 someone had one at 11 I think if they were spaced out a little bit more that would help. Other than that a great course
Thank you for the great feedback! Our average pace of play for 18 holes as a foursome is four hours and fifteen minutes. We do ask our golfers to stick to that as much as possible so that everyone can enjoy their round
Big disappointment!
My crummy day started when I first arrived at the course, went into the clubhouse, into the pro shop where I had to wait nearly seven minutes before someone finally came to help me get checked in....and they didn't even apologize! This continued on the first hole when I was in what they called a sand trap what should have been called a dirt trap! Ever green had chunks out of it where either no one had repaired their ball marks or it was simply never cared for correctly. Also sadly, it was hard to tell when you were in the fairway or in the rough as there was no clear-cut line between the two! In fact the only thing I can actually compliment is the par 3s on this course.
We're sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy your round with us. We will pass along your valuable feedback to our management staff.
Mrs Evans 90th Birthday Celebration
I want to personally thank Jamie, Tia Fairly and Kim the chef for hosting an excellent event. Jamie went beyond his official duty to support us. Tia and her staff did an outstanding job in supporting and serving us. Her staff even served the birthday cake. I commend Kim on her excellent menu preparation. The food was above what we expected.. I would recommend this establishment with a higher rating.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a wonderful five-star review! We are thrilled that we could provide excellent service to your and your group!

FREQUENT FLYER (again)
Dogwood Trace is by far the best maintained public golf in the greater Richmond Metro area. The fairways and tee boxes were plush, consistent sand in the bunkers and greens were somewhat fast and smooth. I have played here numerous time and will continue to do so as you could not ask for a better course for the money and playing condition and friendlyness of the entire staff from the club house, restaurant , starter and marshall.The pace of play was extremely slow because of the weather and the lack of talent of the groups we followed. This is the first time I have golfed here on the weekend so I expected the pace to somewhat slow but had to stop after only 12 holes due to the time spent waiting between shot.
Hi notmuchbetter. Thank you so much for the great review. Sorry about the pace, but we appreciate you understanding. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Dogwood Trace Golf Course.
