South Riding Golf Club

Great local track in terrific shape. Once they fix the bunkers,(all that rain washed them out) it'll be 5 stars for sure. Lots of undulating greens so be on the right tier to avoid a 3putt. Played today in 4 hours on a holiday which was better than expected. Ill be back

I always thought this is one of the premiere courses in Northern Virginia. I played the course this past weekend I'm surprised at how it turned into a high end "muni". Let me list from the time I arrived.

1) Pro Shop - very bare. No sign of any partnerships with a major brand like Ping, Titleist, TM, etc. Most of the shirts on the rack are generic brand with the South Riding logo on it. Brand used by companies for swag. Most nice courses I've played in would have their logo on the more popular brands.

2) Snack Shop - Yeah, it's a snack shop you find in muni's like Twin Lakes and Herndon. Does not match with courses like Bull Run, Raspberry Falls, or even 1757.

3) Sand Traps - Not kept well. Grass/weeds are growing inside them. I saw one hole where they have mounds of new sand. How about the other 17 holes?

If it weren't for the friendly staff, I would not come back here. Actually, I will not be back until they fix the bunkers.

Too bad.

South Riding is a nice and varied layout. However, the sand traps were atrocious. It appears that have not been touched in weeks with several feet high weeds in some traps. I will not be returning until the traps are one the same level as the remainder of the course.

Course in good shape- not on my regular rotation but I always have a good time here. Plenty of houses on the course but they never feel like they are in play.

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.

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.

Despite horrific weather crew had course in excellent shape. Nice layout, worth coming back to.

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

Good condition for early May. Must use all clubs. No two holes are the same. Will be playing a lot this summer

greens are smooth and fast, course is in nice shape and always friendly staff. variety of shots needed here from the blue tees.

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.

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.

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.

Course was in excellent shape for the harsh Spring we have been suffering. Staff very friendly and helpful. Course layout interesting and fair

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

Great weather day. Course was very wet and impacted shot making. Tees were fine, but greens were a little bumpy

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.
