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.

No Water?
For $90 (would have been $105 if not for a hot deal), I'd expect there to be water stations on the course. It was 96 degrees outside (99 heat index) and there was no water on course, no cart girl, and no heads up given that no water was available. What on earth is going on here?
good track but not worth the price
I give the course 4.5 stars on the layout...it's a nice track, with fun holes that can give some risk/reward, have you play different shots, but still getable if you want to score.
However, for the price of $90, it is nowhere near worth it. Crab grass on the tees (particularly on the front), horrible green maintenance with dry/dead patches, patchy/clumpy rough on most all of the holes (yes, we are supposed to avoid the rough!)...there are other courses within 10mi of this that are cheaper and in better shape...
It's a shame, too, because I remember when the course was in great shape (and cheaper)...I used to play here at least 1/week...but not since the course went south & the price went north...
Hot and humid day; course not to busy for a Friday early afternoon; starter lets us tee off early; course was in decent shape, but had recently aerated greens, will play again.
Better than Expected
This course isn’t the first that comes to mind when thinking about where to play in Northern Virginia, but you should give it a shot. The course was in great shape and there are more than enough challenges for all levels of golfers. Tee times have been fairly easy to get as well, which hasn’t been the case lately for some of the more popular (and expensive). courses. Definitely would recommend playing here.
really enjoyed this course
you have to play the hole and not just bomb off the tees. Really enjoyed the round. will be back.
after years of neglect.
Management has hired a new greenskeeper who is starting to turn the course around after years of neglect and poor maintenance. Areas around the club house have seen mulch around the trees and shrubs. The practice chipping green actually has grass not weeds for the first time in years. Dead tree branches and limbs around the course, tee boxes and greens have been removed, fairways and greens are in nice condition and areas with ruts and damage have bern repaired. Areas that are normally wet and typically are damaged by golf carts have bern roped off. Greens are in great condition. The team
Is going to need time to get the course back to what it used to be but they have made a great start.
Decent course
Pro shop and concessions were being renovated. Some green to tees were a good hike and for 1st timers, could get frustrated in getting to the next tee. Reason for the value is due to the greens fees in the DMV. Very few courses are a good value. Just about all overpriced.
Nice course
Overall a nice course. Layout could be improved, a few holes took a while to get plot the next tee box. Some holes accuracy is required .Friendly staff. Pro shop and cafe are being remodeled, unfair to make a judgment.
Not work the Money
They are charging $90 and this course is in the worse shape that I've seen in years (especially in early June). It looks like it is mid-august already and there are a lot of bald area.
Needs Up Keep
I like the course, but the condition leaves a lot to be desired. The tee boxes were in especially poor condition. The divots on the tee boxes made it challenging to find good footing for my tee shots.
Good except for cart paths
Cart paths were an obstacle course for dodging holes. In need of repair for sure...
