South Riding Golf Club
About
South Riding Golf Club is nestled in the gentle hills of northern Virginia, enjoying a landscape of hardwood forests and grassy meadows. The course offers a variety of challenges but the fairways are wide and player-friendly and the greens can be tough in spots but overall they offer some room for error. The layout requires both strategy and skill, it is definitely not a golf course where you will be able to just "grip and rip it." The course pinpoints your weaknesses but it is still a fair test. South Riding Golf Club's eighth hole is memorable for its difficulty but it's an interesting hole sine there are many ways to play it. At 351 yards, the hole is a short but intimidating dogleg left that will tempt you to go over the trees. The fairway is generous but the saddle-shaped green is flanked with bunkers.

25 Years at South Riding GC
I have played South Riding dozens of times since I was a duffer as a new golfer 25 years ago. I enjoyed it then when I could barely break 100 and still do now when I can score, like yesterday, in the 70s. The layout is varied and challenging, although unlike many northern Virginia golf courses, there are only a very few forced carries over waste areas or water. Conditions are generally very good, especially the greens, and the practice facilities are absolutely superb. South Riding compares favorably to courses like Westfields, Bull Run, Stonewall and Blue Mash, but is hardly ever crowded, far far easier to reserve teetimes in advance and considerably less expensive.
In short, highly recommended. If you can get there in the next few weeks, that is, early to mid-May 2025, you will most definitely have a very enjoyable day, because the course is in stellar shape.
Course Hole-to-Hole Direction
During the 18 holes, accurate guidance signs are needed at intervals between holes to help you move from one hole to the next hole.
Fast Greens
Course was in great shape and the greens were very fast. We had fun and will be back!
