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.

Good except for cart paths

Cart paths were an obstacle course for dodging holes. In need of repair for sure...

Nice course

Thaw course is in good condition. The tee boxes just need a little grooming and the cart path needs repaired. Overall, a nice course to play at. Definitely play it again.

Pleasant Surprise

Played here many times but this is the first time ever that the greens were in great shape, running pure and fast, similar to high-end country clubs around the area. Tee boxes were beaten up and patchy as they should be like every other public course. Will probably randomly go back and play this course throughout the year. If the greens stay consistent and pure like this, I would consider hard quitting my local country club and joining here instead.

Horrendous greens and hole locations

Seems like every hole was on a 45 degree angle hill. Made the game very frustrating when you miss the putt by a little, and where most courses it would stop after a foot, South Riding greens rolled for 10+ feet because of holes being on steep slopes... My group won't be playing there again.

A chilly day at South Riding

Winter golf is always a challenge. But we endured and had a good time. I can only imagine how nice this course is in the summer. Only complaint was the driving range wasn't opened. Our group showed up early to warm up on the range only to find out it was closed. The staff allowed us tee off early so we weren't waiting around for an hour. A big plus! We used military tee times to book and saved 15%.

Mark tee boxes

I thought the staff was very friendly, and the course was in good shape. Unfortunately, none of the tee boxes were marked with any type of marking, indicating which tees were which tees so we had to get up and drive to each tee box to see if we were playing from the right tees boxes that we were on the club level tees so we were driving backward and forward on a lot of holes because we were guessing. Please put out some markers to assist with this.

Granted we got 2 inches of water 2 days ago and the course was very wet and soppy. Still wasn’t too bad. Would play again
