Dogwood Trace Golf Course

Keeping in mind it is February the course fairways were not green but surprisingly the greens were and overall in amazing condition.. This was one of the best courses I have played on for the money, course was layed out well and open with a nice amount of sand traps and water hazards to make it interesting. I can't wait to return to this cours when it is green, definitely recommend this course to anyone.

Love the 2 different 9s the front has a series of different elevations & the back is more of a parkland style course

Great course, with a really friendly staff. Will definitely be going back in the future

A very playable course with a mix of challenging and easy holes. Forward pins are ideal for amateur hackers. Course layout has a large number of parallel opposing fairways without barriers, so expect frequent sharing on busy days. Even still, pace of play was an acceptable 4 1/2 hours on a beautiful and busy Sunday. UNLESS you happen to be in a foursome in front of a group of members/regulars/special guests who want to play in 3:45. After getting hit into 3 times and having them sic the marshall on us for taking too long on a cart path only hole, my fun was over. Avoid the weekends. This isn't the first time the self-anointed have spoiled a round for the guest duffers.

Golf course is a great value for the money. Front 9 was very user friendly with wide fairways, however bunkers do come into play. Back 9 is much longer and more challenging with tighter chutes. Most fairways lined with trees and water on some holes. Greens were good especially for winter and the play the course gets, they rolled true in most cases. Their amenities were good with driving range and putting green. My only regret was not having fried chicken or wings in the clubhouse. Looked very appetizing and will definitely check it out next time. The staff in clubhouse and restaraunt were very friendly and happy to accomodate any requests! I would highly recommend this course.

Dogwood Trace is the best kept secret in the Richmond area. The greens are immaculate and the tee boxes and fairways are very playable even now in the winter time. The Proshop staff is very friendly and accommodating and the pace of play is always reasonable.

I played this course for the first time while visiting family over the Christmas holiday. The weather was in the high 40's/low 50's. The fairways were in good condition for December, but the greens were in surprisingly very good shape. Nice and green with true roll. The course offers and nice challenge for mid to high handicappers. Next time I'm in the area, I will definitely play this course again.

I really like playing Dogwood Trace. It's such a great golf course that is laid out for the better golfer.

The staff is always super friendly, genuinely so.

My only regret is that I can't play it more often. Enough said!

All of the negative publicity that has been put forth regarding Petersburg's fiscal issues, causing the demise of the "Jewel of Petersburg's---Dogwood Trace Golf Club" has proven to be absolutely false I brought a group of 7 golfers to the club Wednesday, 11/30/16. It was 75 degrees. 1.) The greens had been cut. 2.) Tractor with blower removing leaves from fairways. 3.) Mower cutting rough area and chopping leaves in wooded areas between fairways. All while we were playing. The Pro Shop still had their same smiling faces and great welcoming attitude. The new restaurant had Christmas decorations up and food still super delicious with generous portions. Truly a great restaurant for golfers or non-golfers Jamie Fagan and Nick Robinson "take a bow". Your leadership has resulted in the Golf Course not "skipping a beat...Congratulations to the City of Petersburg....

If you looking for a great place to play a round in central Virginia, dogwood trace is the place.

Its a old style course narrow fairways, small greens, somewhat congested (adjacent fairways). And Bermuda grass - it was thick - you can lose balls right in front of your eyes. There is water in play in few holes.

Pace of play was so so for a Saturday afternoon.

Here is the Big problem - they want carts to be returned by 6 (when sunset is 6:31) and bright sunshine. Based on light we should easily be able to play till 7. We had a 2 PM T time - we could only complete 16 holes by 6PM. The Marshall came on us by 5 reminding us to complete by 6 - made no sense at all.

If they want to complete by 6 - they need to publicize this policy clearly - we will book T times accordingly, this should not as a last minute surprise. And of course ending 30 mins before sunset makes no sense at all.

So it was not worth the longish trip, 1st time last time.

Course in good shape but greens still impacted by aeration. Outing in front of us made this a very long day. Not a ranger is sight as groups met and laughed and talked on tee boxes as the course backed up.

Although the greens got punched this week the course played fairly well. The only issue was that every one of the water containers were empty and pace of play was terrible. We even had a single come in as we were told by the marshall that we needed to be done in 45 minutes. The single didn't care, we were waiting on every hole for the foursome in front of us and we were on their tails, and this guy was so uncourteous that he came in and just tee'd off as we were putting on the green. We had to wait for him as he waited for the foursome...not cool!!!

The water issue was bad as the guy in the clubhouse had really no concern and said we could go to the bar which charged us for ice and water.

Nice course, great staff, would play there again

The rough needed to be cut. It was much to long for me to recommend this course to a friend

The course was in great shape, and the layout is fun and challenging at the same time (especially the back 9). Excellent price and friendly staff.

This golf course is always in immaculate shape...

Staff treats you like you are a member. New clubhouse with a full bar and excellent food. Pro shop is fully stocked and would be the envy of any country club.

Greens always roll true and Bermuda fairways allow you to play the ball down...Driving range, putting green and chipping green with sand traps will equal any country club in the area...Play it, I will guarantee that it will match up to 90% of the courses you play....Easy to give a good review...I play it a minimum of twice per week all year round.

Course in great shape. Tees , fairways and greens in very good shape. Found very few burn spots and traps good with plenty sand . Rough will eat your ball so spot it well. Course was busy but pace was still good . Interesting thou was the number of singles playing and some seemed to move around. had single in front of threesome and one behind but didn't want to play through and pair up so didn't worry if he waited at times. Also saw him playing the 9th hole and then followed us to 2nd tee. A lot of this course you can see adjoining holes and we were constantly going where did they come from, but pace wasn't disturbed so just kept moving on. Back nine more challenging from tee and a little tighter . Nice patio back of clubhouse overlooking 9 th grreen. Good day and will play again.
