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.

Awful pace

We got to the 6th hole in 6 hours. After complaining to the Marshall absolutely nothing happened. Letting guys with 30 plus handicaps tee off from the blues should not be allowed. Who would ever join there if the average round takes 5 to 6 hours? Thank you, I will never play there again.

Course is in great condition

We had a 9am mid week tee time. Pace of play was great, we did not wait on any holes and we were not pushed. The course is in excellent condition. Very friendly staff and starter.

Much Improved!!!

Wow, what a difference a year makes. I heard they hired a new superintendent. He must be great considering this place was a mess last year. Not now -- tees/fairways good, and GREENS in very good shape (firm, smooth, and pretty fast). Keeping them firmer certainly helps cut down on the ball marks (c'mon golfers, fix those ball marks!) ruining the roll -- something that had been a problem in prior years. This is northern VA, so it is pricey to play without some discount. No water on the course? Even the little 9-hole courses at least provide water . . .
