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.

Good conditions, fast greens, thick rough

Played on 6/10. It has been very rainy recently so it was cart path only. Course conditions were excellent. Greens were smooth and very fast. A few pin placements were very difficult given the green speeds. The fairways were nice and rough was thick and tough. Layout had a decent mix of straight holes, with well placed fairway bunkers, and doglegs to switch things up. Overall I would recommend getting out to South Riding for sure. I hope to be back soon.

Great Course for $50

I played this course on a Sunday morning because I got a super good deal from golfnow. It was well worth $55, don’t know that it would have been worth $80. The course layout is excellent and everything is incredibly well maintained, except for the sand traps— there was hardly any sand! (This is why it doesn’t get 5 stars.) Overall, I recommend and will definitely be back.

Nice Course—But wet and greens rough

I like the course but it was not in good condition. The greens were particularly choppy.

South Riding GC

South Riding is a nice track. The course has a fair layout and the greens roll true. Staff is generally friendly too. On Tuesday they had an outing in the morning and things were pretty clogged up when we arrived. Went out 20 minutes late and took 2 hours 45 minutes for front 9 which was very frustrating. We ended up playing the front 9 again to get out of the traffic. Second time it took us 90 minutes. It would be terrific if Golfnow had some idea about wvents that might cause problems for the midday and afternoon players. I would have absolutely played somewhere else had I known.

Solid course

More of a shot makes course. You're not going to hit driver every hole. Above average condition for April. Greens were exceptionally quick for April. Greens are very undulating. Fun but tough course. I'll be back.

Spring Golf

The course has a good layout. Fairways are well maintained and the rough was not to heavy. The greens at this time of year were hard but tested you on your putts.

The only problem encountered was not caused by the golf course but by the enormous amounts of water left on the fairways.

Straight-forward, great golf

The course is full of green and is located in a great place near Dulles Airport. It was great winter golf - greens were a little patchy here and there but hey it was snowing for some of the round.

It's a great course - long, plush, good challenge (if you play <10 handicap, I would play from the tips). It could have been slightly more narrow for a bit more of a challenge, but i wasn't complaining.

Decent layout for a housing community golf course. The greens are fast and sloped. There is definitely some very noticeable areas of disease on a handful of the greens, which detracts from an otherwise very nice putting surface. The course is challenging with a good amount of fescue grass in close proximity to the fairways. Multiple sets of tees to challenge any level golfer. Not sure I would recommend it to the beginner as the houses and fescue could make for a long intimidating round of golf. Overall a nice course worth playing.

good greens and fairways

buddy and I had a great time. bad shots were punished as they should have been. greens were very fast; downhill putts were difficult.
