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.

Nice Course—But wet and greens rough
I like the course but it was not in good condition. The greens were particularly choppy.
Love playing this course
Good condition for early May. Must use all clubs. No two holes are the same. Will be playing a lot this summer
nice layout
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 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.
Great Spring outing
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.
Course nice/Tees and greens fair
Great weather day. Course was very wet and impacted shot making. Tees were fine, but greens were a little bumpy
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.
Course needs some attention.
The course is well laid out however, they over water the fairways and greens. By over watering the course it has ruined the root structure of the grass making it too soft. The club house needs to be updated....i.e, a paint job to start and over all maintenance in the rest rooms and restaurant.
