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.

Always well maintained

All in all a very nice and well maintained course. Not extremely difficult. I rated it a poor value for the money but I don't like to pay a lot to golf. GolfNow has great deal though. For the money they should use their grass tees for their practice facility and if there is only a marginal amount of rain they close the driving range and I don't feel the putting green is representative of the course greens. Pace of play is always good.
