South Riding Golf Club

South Riding is an excellent, fair and challenging layout that is in great shape. I played alone at mid day and even with cart path only was able to get around in 3 and a half hours.

Real wet the day we played but the greens were very firm. Cart path only, but still getting super-ball bounces on lofted approach shots. Like this layout, although it was better before the front nine became the back nine. Driving range was closed "due to the wet conditions" even though they have a hitting line with mats. Typical understaffed facility that doesn't have enough people to hand-pick the range, even on a weekend, because really the only way to pick a range is with a cart and a roller-picker (insert sarcasm here). Staff was, as is always the case at this course, rude. Nothing says "public golf" in NOVA the way that arrogant staff can. Hard for staff to be friendly when there aren't enough to do the job right in order to keep the customers happy. The upside is that if you can get out ahead of the "slow play" in NOVA, you can actually zoom around this course, even with it is cart path only.

A young staff was terribly rude and seems to be against the GOLFNOW.com customer

I have played this course for many years and find it to still be one of the best deals around.

The greens were very bumpy and patchy.
The fairways were in pretty good condition.
Parts of the course was wet but some of the holes could have allowed carts.
One of us thought that it was like playing the same hole over 18 times - not much character.

Course was in great shape at the end of April and should get even better after all this rain.

Not a ton of elevation changes and some of the par 4's started to feel pretty similar by the end of the round. Definitely a few challenging holes, but the majority of them are straight away. Keep it near the fairway and you shouldn't have much trouble here.

Nice course and definitely worth a round.

Tee boxes were pretty good and the fairways were very good. The greens were fast and rolled well but were a bit on the firm side. Good approaches tended to bounce rather than hit then stop. Had to play to front edge distances to keep it on the green. Overall a good course for the discounted greens fee.

south riding has a nice layout that would be much better without the couple holes with houses just OB. not much you can change now. nice greens, challenging par 3's. typical NOVA pace of play, too slow when you get caught behind the hacker 4-some marking every putt.

Best green conditions in the area. Love the creativity of this course. Each hole is different and tests all aspects of your game. Cant wait to go back!

not great, but good. the course was very wet after heavy rain. but attractive course!

The course was long enough for me and they were not too hard to play. Not that challenging... I enjoyed playing!!!

This course has a wide variety of types of holes that keep things interesting throughout the round. The course is open to scoring and making some birdies here or there for even the average golfer but take it too lightly and this course can make you pay as well. Good balance on the course of links style golf along with some woods golf and target golf. Overall great course one of my favorites in the area.

The pin placement was the most difficult I have seen on this course. Maybe it was the grounds keepers halloween trick or treat. The overall condition was good and the weather this day was good for mid Oct.

GPS was wrong.. needed attention about hole locations reset and set daily.

Bluetee 6400yd. Not so difficult. Golfnow hotdeal price is very reasonable

The course has pretty challenge some holes. I like this course.

Played the course mid-October and although pace of play slowed at the turn through the back 9 course was in good shape and a good value.

Staff was very accomodating as one guy in our 4some was 5 minutes late, we just teed off when he got there no problems. Greens were smooth and true.

Tried to play this course after a long time and booked a round with GN. Returned after playing just two holes. very slow for a Friday afternoon. The course staff refused to give a rain check even though they said they would when I called them from the course asking if they would give a rain check if I quit. Needless to say it was frustrating. Glad to have so many other great public courses in the DC area to chose from. would not return to this one. Generally I think it is much pricier given the quality and experience.

I consider this my home course because I live in the community. It is always in great shape. They need to put in fresh sand in the traps, but other than that, it is a great course.
