Great value for the money...

Course is in above average shape. Greens were a little beat up but we played late in the day (really annoying that so many people do not repair ball marks on green).

Will definitely play again.

Dogwood Trace

Dogwood Trace was awesome! It was one of the best courses I have played this year. One concern.....the rough was tooooo tall. I must have lost 4 balls right beside the green. Great experience though.

Well layed out and very nice. Played a couple times while in town. One time slow, but overall good pace of play. Course in great shape, little need for work. For a town owned course, worth trying. Would

Economy Golf

Affordable course with average course conditions. Tee boxes and fairways were good. Rough was short and playable but some of the greens were starting to roach our. Greens were also really fast and hard. Only played 9 holes and it's a short course which I like so pace of play was pretty good. Fairways can be tight but the openness of the course allows you to find most stray balls. I enjoyed the round very much.

Great course !!! Staff extremely friendly and grounds crews does an excellent job keeping the course in shape, even in rainy conditions. Water comes into play on several holes which test you. It's really enjoyable playing here and well worth the drive from Richmond. Thanks guys !

Beautiful Course

I played on a Saturday morning so I expected slow play. The front nine was smooth sailing. The back nine was at a snail's pace, I left. I always enjoy playing Dogwood Trace and I look forward to playing at least once a month.

Great course for the money. Fairways are in great shape. The rough is a little thick, the ball can disappear from sight on some holes. This course can be quite challenging for the novice. Straight drives will keep you out of trouble.
