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
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.
The Course Is Fine: Slow players are not
I played with a buddy as a twosome. Before the 4th hole we had been caught by another twosome. This was not the result of our slow play; rather it was the result of a twosome (man and woman) who apparently had no concept of golf etiquette. The man spent at least 5 minutes on each hole hunting for golf balls, and not necessarily his own. He would lag back while the woman played on. As a result, we were often unable to tee off until the woman was physically on the green because only then would the man move forward - and even then he walked because the woman went ahead with the cart. On a less than busy day, this round took over 5 hours. I finally got fed up at 11 tee and called the clubhouse, only to get an answering machine. UNSAT.
A go to course!
Overall a great round of golf at a really good price. The course is easily playable for all levels of play. Beginning golfers need not fear this course and accomplished golfers will find enough challengers to ensure an enjoyable round of golf.
Great Place, Great People, Great Experience
This is a great place to get a round of golf in. The staff there are extremely friendly, and the cooks make great food. They give you a very good price compared to the area, and the value is even better considering the experience you get. The course itself was immaculate. Great layout and perfect mixture of narrow and wide open fairways. Definitely will be returning and recommending to others. Great experience!
Very very RUDE/UNFRIENDLY Staff
I've played this course several times already. I like the course but I would NEVER EVER go back there again only because the guy at the front ( never bothered to get his name because he is always RUDE.., I mean always and I dont bother getting rude peoples names) but if you want a description... he is oriental... most likely korean... short and stocky. I've tolerated him in the past but this time I say enough! When we finished our round, this guy came to me and said... in a very rude manner ... " Next time I will not allow you to play five hour rounds anymore" and I was taken aback since i didn't expect this from him. So I said... "excuse me" and he said it again... " Next time I will not allow you play five hour rounds" ... at this point...i said started wlaking away from him and ignored him because at this point I already made up my mind that this guy is just by nature Rude. In reality we didn't play five hours.. we teed off at 9:30 and finished at about 2:10 ... cart path only.. we didn't hold off anyone behind us and no one was infront of us. So I would say that we were enjoying our round until this idiot/jerk made that comment and ruined my day. Only for that reason I will give you a bad review.
nice and pleasant course
My first time play on this course. It was a little drizzling and course is wet but for most part I can still get on and off from my riding cart. The course is wide and relatively easy even for my as a beginner.
The conditions of fairways and greens are very good. Unless some other courses in the region, tee boxes are all open to public. I can't ask for a better deal than the $10 plus $3.5 fee to GolfNow.
If I have to put some comments in CON section, it is the bunkers. There're no rakes provided in bunkers. Also some courses nested in residential neighbors make me a little uneasy.
Overall, I like it and will come back when the price is right.
No push/pull carts allowed!
For some inexplicable reason, the course will not let you walk with a push or pull cart. They said I could walk the course but only if I carried my bag! When I asked at the Pro Shop what was the rationale behind this, they simply said "Because that's the rule" but could not explain the logic it was based on. Needless to say, I did not play the course and never will!!!
