South Riding Golf Club

I had already made my reservation online for a party of 4 and paid in full but 2 members from my party thought they had not been paid for and completed their own transaction at the course. I explained that I had already paid for them, showed them email proof, and asked to refund their payment. But the person at the desk said that he could not and simply gave me his manager's card, leaving me and my friends being charged twice and providing no help.

Great round with my son, today. Course is in great shape...greens were faster than we expected.

The course got the better of us today - well done with the pin placements.

The entire staff was fantastic - their standard operating procedure.

Looking forward to the next round..

Front desk attendant was professional and helpful but cart guys weee terrible. Despite more than a dozen carts not being used we were told we had to share a cart or walk due to limit on carts. It was 90 degrees and humid. We would Have booked somewhere else if we had known that. Also, cart attendants sat in carts in the shade and barked out orders-very rude. Will not be going back

Staff were friendly enough. The course isn’t great. Unmowed grass meant every shot not in the fairway cost you 1-2 extra strokes. Green were like ice and 15-18 holes were at an angle on an incline with a vicious 90 break just before the cup. If you hate yourself or are a scratch golfer this is the place for you. All others beware, this is expensive and no fun.

Played this course last summer (2019) and at the time it was in terrible conditions for the amount of money they charge to play. Tee boxes and greens were basically all day. The divots in the fairways weren’t be fixed. Fast forward to now, it’s very much improved. The tee boxes and greens were in excellent condition. My only complain really is that there isn’t a walking rate.

South Riding is a nice layout but needs better

drainage & repair of cart paths badly!

Edges & aprons of greens need repair from mold

& weeds

Greens rolled well but fringes need air-aiding

I played this course for the on Saturday afternoon. The staff was friendly and the pace was good. The layout is challenging and deceptive off the tee if you haven’t played the courses before so I am looking forward to getting another crack at it.

Greens: Greens were fast and undulating and I love fast greens. I really liked the practice green was in excellent shape and just as fast as the course green. My one complaint about the greens is that there were a lot of I repaired divots. Much of this course winds through a neighborhood so obviously the neighbors are lobbing balls onto some of the greens at night and creating the ball marks. Some holes looked like a short game practice green back home. Others will be annoyed but the greens were firm enough that when I repaired the marks in my line the ball rolled true.

Fairway: Fairway were in great shape. The first hole fairway had some patchy spots. All the other holes (when I found the fairway) the ball was sitting up like it was on my rug at home. Fairways were soft so there was no 25-30 yard role outs. Basically carry distances on each shot. There are 5 tee boxes to play from so you can choose accordingly if you know the course is going to play it’s true distance. or you could be stuck hitting long irons into par 4s half the day.

Layout: I liked the layout. A straight ball hitter can shoot a good score. There are doglegs left and right but I didn’t stand on any tee and say “I need to hit a fade/draw”. Pick a spot to hit it and go. The course navigates nicely through a neighborhood without you actually noticing the neighborhood. The homes are out of play on most holes even for the banana ball with the big stick. A good shank from a lefty on #7 might challenge that opinion. The course looks open but the landing areas look small. The intermediate rough wasn’t too punishing but you aren’t throwing any darts from the rough either. I hit every club in the bag and had a good time.

I would definitely recommend the course but bring a good divot tool.

It took over 3 hours to play nine holes. The groups ahead of us were so slow. They spent so much time looking for balls after mishits. No marshal there to ensure appropriate pace of play. We won't be back.

Course layout is good, conditions are solid, But it took over 3 hours to play 9 holes so we bailed at the turn. Got to have people pushing the groups when it slows down.
