If you like to follow 6-somes and 5-somes

If you like to follow a 6-some or a 5-some with no rangers to monitor pace, which was awful, then this course is for you. There were no rangers and we waited up to 10-15 min on almost every hole. When I went to pro-shop to inquire about Rangers and state my complaints I was met with “don’t like to hear that” and a condensing “thank you Dear” We had a 5 some in front of us and a 6 some in front of them for the round. We walked off on the 17th hole when we were done waiting another 15 min to possibly tee off! Will not go again nor recommend

Best course in area

Been playing here since 2002. They’ve improved facilities over the years. Big makeover during winter. Front is pretty simple and back provides challenges. Best course in the area in my opinion!

Diamond the Rough

The staff treats you like they appreciate you choosing this course. The fairways, understandably. are still patcyhy but there are sign of filling out soon. The golf course is fun to play and some holes, into the wind gusts, were somewhat challenging but that is the fun of the "unknown,"

Winter golf

The morning was cold. As the day went on , it warmed up nice. Course had improved significantly in 2 weeks since our last round. Rained a lot over the weekend so there was some causal water. Greens were in good shape compared to last round. Unfortunately we’re getting ready for another round of winter weather.

Worth the drive from Richmond

Overall great track, although a few parallel fairways where you need to keep your head on a swivel.

Challenging greens, and some challenging fairway layouts (bunkers in obvious landing areas)

It was a cold day and the course wasnt crowded, but had some beginners who didnt know etiquette and there was no ranger out to keep folks moving. I skipped around holes to get around them.

Driving range is probably great during the warmer months, but right now you will be hitting off dirt, keep that in mind if you play before spring. Tee areas are rough there (tee boxes on the course were fine though>

I gave 1 star for off course amentities because the grill was closed, but website didnt indicate that - bring your own food for the foreseeable future. I think the grill is closed for renovations.

Pro shop staff was great, super nice and helpful and accommodating.

Some bunkers great, some need work (and it looks like they are doing some course construction and drainage repairs, second fairway had what looked like a pond but turns out it was just poor drainage area and water had pooled to make a small "pond" in the fairway.

Overall I definitely recommend the course.

It’s still winter!

I applaud the staff for getting the course in playing condition. The greens were ruff and wet, but what can you expect after 5/6 inches of ice and snow. Not to mention freezing temperatures every night. It was as great to get out and play after a 29 day forced weather break.

Fun round in December

Few tee boxes are needed repairing, but understanding that winter is what it is. Greens as always are good 👍. Love seeing the improvements. Will be back soon if weather is above 40.

Thanks for a good round.

Merry Christmas to all🎄👍🇺🇸🇺🇸⛳️
