South Riding Golf Club

Course is not being maintained very well. Greens were in okay condition but fairways and tee boxes were a mess. Also there was no water out on the course.

Course needs serious work. Tee boxes bald and filled with weeds. Disappointed…

One of the more expensive courses in the area, even accounting for Sat AM. Waited for 2 groups at most holes. SEVERE drainage issues. Every single hole had at least one or more of the following: swampy rough/fairway, pools of water, mud. Cart paths also had standing water everywhere. Layout forces doubling back and splits in cart path, sometimes unmarked. Tee box, fairway, greens, all looked heavily-worn and dimpled. There's a reason why I seldom play here even though it's within walking distance from my house.

I always read reviews on courses prior to booking and always find it very helpful. I make it a point to try to give my take.

Set up a last minute round through GN. 9 holes was $50 or 18 for $60......No brainer..played the 18....

It was truly a tail of two nines....The front nine was decent with some of the Tee boxes in awful shape. The greens were in good shape, very soft so your ball just plugged. The fringe of the greens had alot of mowed weeds which held the ball on fringe putts.....

Now to the back.....Wow.......How a course or maintenance crew can mow the grass and just have the cut grass everywhere is mind-boggling. Total laziness if you ask me. Not even just a little grass, all over the place.......If I was the Superintendant, there is no way I am dealing with that....The back was so wet and sloppy you could barely drive, it really should have been cart path only, which we did on many anyway. The tread marks and the mud holes from carts was terrible. ..............

The staff was very nice especially the snack shop guy......was just visiting the area and probably would never play this course again. Has to be a better trek in the area I would think.

Gnats were AWFUL as well......bring spray of some sort......

Too slopy fairway and too many grassless spots on greens.

It is 90 degrees, humid. Please provide water on the course.

The organization of this course is good, but the signage to help you navigate it is not. As a first time player there are more than a few spots where it’s difficult to find the next tee and at times you’re driving on cart paths that fork multiple times in completely concealed areas. Add to that an awkward pace of play that was compounded by a group that slipped in behind us on the back 9 and proceeded to hit into my group for 5 of the last 9 holes (we had a group in front of us), and you have a nice course that just needs some effective marshaling and signage. I would play again because the course is good and the greens are super challenging, but I’d advocate for some better on-course oversight.

Slow play and no water on the course on a 91 degree day.

South Riding is a consistently well maintained course that provides a good balance between forgiveness and challenge. If you keep it in the short stuff you can shoot a low score. I would like them to have an tee in between the whites and the blues to keep the yardage in my comfort zone of 6200 -6300 yards.

South Riding Golf Course is a great course to play. It has a good practice area, friendly staff, good driving range, and well maintained golf course( bunkers have real sand). Pace of play was fine and the weather was perfect. Nice greens and fairways. One downside was the lack of water on the course. The staff at South Riding GC said it was a Virginia regulations since COVID-19 so bring plenty of drinks . They have free water with ice so make sure to grab a few prior to playing 9 and make sure to grab some on the turn. Overall good course to play … hyderate

Course was in good shape despite all the recent rain. Was cart path only, as they were being cautious which was understandable and was just a minor inconvenience. A couple tee boxes could use some attention, but were certainly fine. Starter was great and got us out early ahead of some less experienced golfers which was much appreciated. The price ($74) is slightly high for weekdays, but prices have gone up at other similar courses as well. This may keep some folks away but meant pace of play was great with no waiting or having folks right on your tail (~20 handicap so need a few extra swings). All in all pleased with course and had a good time.

$100+/round+range for this course is not worth it.
