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.

Golfer Reviews
course has deteriorated drastically
Tees were in shocking condition.
Fairways were very soft in places but mainly fine. Greens were good but uneven. I fixed loads of pitch marks on each green.
4 hours 45 min for a round. Waiting on every shot. No ranger in sight to move pace of play.
Played 4 years ago but won’t be going back for a while if ever.
Very good condition
It was good condition and well maintained greens. For the price, the course is one of the best in the northern VA area. The condition was much better than last year.
Good value
The course was in good shape. Pace of play was good for a Friday on a public course. It was a lot of fun, we’ll definitely play again. Great experience for the price.
Nice Round
Course was in good shape. pace was a little slow on the front but picked up on the back. have played the course a lot over the years and it's always a challenge.
Beware the rough
Tees, fairways and greens very good. My only criticism is that the rough was too long, and there’s a lot of it. So much, in fact I’m sure it’s a huge undertaking to keep it mowed.

The course was in great shape and pace of play was not rushed. Really enjoyed the time spent. Club house staff were courteous and professional.
Mixed review
Look - the course is great. Best bunkers around and the greens are good but fast. My only complaint was that we booked the round and started at 9:30. Made the turn at 11:45 and all day the pace wasn’t bad - we only saw one group in front of us. At the turn - there were three groups on 10 and one group waiting. One or two people were walking. They also had a tournament at 1:00. So it was overbooked. We paid for 18 but had to leave because we couldn’t bear to wait 20 min at every hole. We did wait 20 min at the 10th to see and there was no way it was going to be less than 3 hours!!! So basically we lost half a round.
Nice!
This is a good track! We played after a weekend of rain. Soggy but not bad. Greens were spotty due to people not fixing divots, but nice and putted true. Roughs were a little long, but they couldn’t movw due to rain. I’m going to play it again in two days when it’s dryer and expect it to be great.
South Riding review
this course has been in my rotation (I am not a member anywhere) for over 12 year now, and while I believe it is priced rather high on weekends, it is an enjoyable course to play. Staff is always friendly and courteous, they really do their best to keep the course in good shape (with the very hot Northern VA summers and wet fall season this can be quite a challenge). The driving range is decent, and the practice green is usually a good indicator of the actual greens. All in all, the course is worth the trip if you get a good deal thru a tee time website.
