Dogwood Trace Golf Course

The course it self was one the prettiest courses ive played on. however the tee boxes were hard to get the Tees in the ground. the rough was a smidge tall lost 3 balls in it. theirs a moderate amount of water holes so come prepared with extra balls just incase. i know i lost about 5 in the water.

Another issue was the missleading hot deal granted it was still cheap but a $6 convenience fee is kinda high.

The AD was for 15 then ended up being $3 more per person. Its kinda a far drive but if the deal stays the same may consider going back.

This course never ceases to amaze me. The greens are always in excellent condition and the course was in great shape. The pace of play was great. We had a group of three and finished in 3hrs 15 minutes. The price was great and I always enjoy playing this particular course!!!!

This is hands down the best $12 play in Central Virginia.

Played on Sunday where it had rained heavily the day before and had some light rain throughout the round. The course was in excellent condition considering the weather. The course is set up very nicely for all golfers and I would say very well for a weekend warrior. The course is very playable for any age of golfer with the sets of tees they have. The course is very forgiving and very fair across the board. This was the first time I had been to this course and I must say myself and my playing partnered were very happy overall with the golf experience. The dining area was very nice especially for a golf course. Had a full service meal area.

I've played several courses within 50 miles of Richmond VA and was pleasantly surprised by the course conditions and layout. After several days of rain the greens and fairways were dry and quick. Honestly, the only criticism I have is that they don't have a driving range and they are 30 minutes away. Even so, I will play here a lot more!

Dogwood trace is the go to course. Front nine is pretty easy but the back has some challenges.

The town itself is going through some hard times and the area is a little socioeconomically depressed, however, you would never know it when you are on the course. This is a gem of a course in southern Virginia. I have played here multiple times at various times of the year. It is very well maintained and they have recently completed construction of a new clubhouse. There is also a restaurant within the clubhouse you can refresh with both adult beverages and softdrinks. Also completed recently is practice are to include sand traps and chip shots from the rough. If you are in the are, do not miss out on theis gem of a course.

Former member who always enjoys going back. Bermuda just starting to emerge and wil be great in another 3-4 weeks.

This is a great course for the money. The greens are very nice.

My regular group plays this course 10-12 times a year, throughout the entire year. The course is moderately challenging (especially the front nine) and is always in very good to great shape. They have some of the best greens in the area. The entire course is still brown from winter but the fairways are still pretty lush and the greens are rolling true. I only wish players would take the time to repair their divots and rake the bunkers, but that can be said for almost every golf course around.

The newly built clubhouse is very nice with a full bar and a grill that serves pretty decent food. They have a nice practice area and the staff is usually pretty friendly and accommodating.

The only minor annoyance is the fact the course is across the street from the local high school and in the fall it's not uncommon to have to play your entire round while listening to the marching band and drum line practice for hours in the school parking lot. Our group has also been berated several times when the kids get out of school and are heading home, but hey- kids will be kids and there's not much the course can do about it. It's just distracting to the point it's annoying.

Overall, this is one of the better courses in the area and is almost always in tip top shape. The entire city of Petersburg is currently dealing with a financial crisis and possible bankruptcy, and since the course is owned and maintained by the city, it could effect the survival of this hidden gem. Come out and play here and help them keep this place awesome and more importantly- open.

Very nice course and is in pretty good shape for this time of year. Weekday had good pace of play and never felt pushed. Fairways and roughs were brown, but expect that they will green up nicely in the coming weeks.

Downside to this course is that it is very open, thus errant shots usually will end up on another fairway. Personally, I prefer more trees between holes. Course feels as if they just had enough room for 18 holes.

Don't get me wrong, this is a good course and will definitely play it again.
