The course condition is the best I've encountered in the Greater Richmond area. Teeboxes, fairways and greens are in excellent condition. I'll definitely revisit the course soon.

The course was in excellent condition.

Very fun round of golf on a well manicured course and good pace of play. The only disappointment I had was players not fixing their ball marks on the greens. I was always fixing my ball mark and several others on every green. I fault the players not the course.

Lush and well maintained over all.

Greens were perfect, fairways nice and rough was reasonable. Backside has more water, most not in play once you figure out where it is. Was hard to find the greens the first time there. Slow 5 some held us up all day and nobody seemed to fix ball marks or rake traps any where. Locals "run" the course it seems and do what they want, ran carts everywhere regardless of signs. No rangers on the course. The course is nice but will eventually deteriorate if rules are not enforce. Loved the course and the staff.

Great place to play

Came out as a single and paired up with a 3some on back 9. Pace of play was very good. Weather was overcast and threat of rain (and had rained the night before) but course was in excellent shape and carts were 90 degrees. Greens and fairways excellent. Always a good place to play.

Great value, very good condition.

The course was in very good condition, I enjoyed playing. It is very a very up and down course so you find balls from other holes in your fairway very often (or even on your tee box).

Well Worth the Drive from Richmond

The greens, fairways and tees were all in great shape. Only the clubhouse disappointed, but I read that they will begin construction on a new clubhouse soon. I will definitely be returning to this course, it is one of the best values in the area.

What A Pleasant Surprise

Played this course while visiting my brother in Richmond. Never sure what you may find when in an unfamiliar area. Let me tell you, for the GolfNow price, this course ranks way up there. I have played worse for way more money!
Right up front, you won't be impressed by the clubhouse & I don't believe much food is available. That's it for the bad. The course conditions were superb. Lush grass, fairways, tees, & greens were some of the best. Hole variety was good & a preset good challenge. For the money, this is a must play.

This course is well maintained.

I really enjoyed playing this course. The conditions are excellent and the pace of play terrific. If in the Petersburg area, I would highly recommend this course. The course presents quite the challenge, especially playing from the gold tees. Long par 4's and par 3's will serve to test even the best golfers.

Great Value in Petersburg

Dogwood Trace is in great condition. The bunkers were well maintained-fluffy, white sand and groomed impressively. The fairways and tee boxes were in good condition.

Great Value!

One of the better quality municipal courses I have played. Good to excellent condition, variety of challenging holes, and was paired with three great guys!

Have just reserve a tee time to go back on July 5th!

It's 45 miles but worth the drive.
