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.

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.

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.

Good test, condition a bit ragged

Played for the second time. Course layout rewards accuracy.

Greens are a bit ragged with bare spots which detracted from the overall quality of this track. Pay attention to distances to hazards that cross fairways.

Starter gave comprehensive overview. Professional and thorough, encouraging keeping up with group in front. Pace of play was good for a Saturday morning.

Will definitely play again. Hopefully condition will improve.

Good Value not great

Okay course if you get discounted rates. Course layout is fair but a little rough - greens were spotty and rough was very uneven. Nice round but not a premium course.

No notice of greens being aerated that morning

No notice on golf now that they were literally aerating the greens that morning. Needless to say, putting was a joke. Some greens and tee boxes were in rough shape with dirt patches. Love this course when properly maintained, but not on this round. Starter was rude and abrasive. Acted like he looked down on us "golf now" folks. Good news, pace of play was great. Guessing the locals knew about the greens and the golf now community did not!

good course

SR Golf Club is a good course and a good value for the money - the layout is challenging enough for a weekend golfer - pace of place can vary, but it's not horrible - the greens could be better, but it's a fun track to play

Please check the mowers!

I played Sunday 6/11 and overall the course was in decent shape. I was surprised that 75% of the greens were starting to show burnout given all of the rain and cool weather we have had. To add insult to injury, whoever cut the greens on the front nine left a nice trail of hydraulic fluid on 3 or 4 greens. Given that we are paying full rate, I would not give this more than an average rating.

Good course, great price

The day started out a little rainy, but the course was in good shape, long rough due to the ideal growing conditions in the area. Bring a range finder if you have one due to lack of reference points on the course for certain hazards. Pace of play was excellent, greens rolled true. Would definitely play again. Great price from golf now.

Local favorite

The course is beautifully maintained and provides a challenge for all golfers. Some holes are quite short but require shaped shots, while some require distance off the tee. I would have rated conditions higher but greens were recently areated so not 100% sure how they play until that repairs itself. My only complaint is the quality of the mats on the driving range. I hate mats, but if a quality course is going to use mats to preserve the range they should be maintained a bit better, or replaced.
