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.

Golfer Reviews
Good course
They had recently aerated the greens and were bumpy. The ruff was was high averaging six inches and thick. As a first time player there it was hard to tell where the fairway ends and the ruff started, so course knowledge a big factor when playing your round
great course in fantastic shape
played in the rain, course was in excellent condition. highly recommend.
Exceptional course in excellent shape
we played in the rain, no one was around… the course is in great shape, no standing water—fairways were immaculate, greens were predictable and moderately fast. had an awesome day. highly recommended.
Great course !
First time playing. Course conditions and staff were great. Got stuck behind a tournament (on a Saturday ??). So the first 5 holes dragged. Picked up after that. Greens were a little fluffy but rolled true. A bit pricey but that seems to be the new normal with nicer courses. Grass range and nice putting and chipping areas. Will go again for sure.
Great course in great condition
Challenging but playable course. Had a blast. Conditions were fantastic.
Not worth the price!
The course is average with very little memorable holes that stoodout. The fairways have seen lots of divots everywhere from hosting large outtings and clinics, while the greens were hard as a rock and lightning fast.
Upon arriving to the course as a first time player, there is no friendly greeting, instead you are asked by the same Marshall what your name is and when is your tee time, 4 times, while not providing any details about the course. There are no tee box markers with distances on any of the holes. With the weather being extremely hot, you would think a course that has a green fee over $100 would have water jugs around the course; however, there was not a single one. The staff was not overly friendly for a place that has such a high price tag for green fees. The course was decent, but would never pay more than $85 to play again. Players beware, do not let the price tag entice you to think this is a incredible local course, it's just average.
Superb condition
First time playing this course and it looked like a private club,
The fairway and the greens were in top shape.
This course continues to upgrade throughout the years
From my personal experiences, South Riding has established a very respectable reputation in all categories. From the friendly clubhouse workers to the intricate course design this place is only held back by a few minute details. For instance, pace of play will occasionally bottle up every couple of rounds and the pricing can seem a bit inflated, especially the 9 holes pricing increase. Ultimately, the price increases help bring the club much needed upgrades that make this course feel like a premium public course, a huge jump in standards from years prior. I encourage everybody to try out South Riding for this summer season!
May 14 playing conditions
Greens and fairways were recently aerated however the greens were running well. Give it another week or two and some more rain, the course will be in very good shape
