Fauquier Springs Country Club

Fauquier Springs Country Club is in good shape. Greens were good some spots but nothing major. Greens were receptive and rolling true. Fairways were decent as well. Overall great value for a private course with very few groups out on the course. Basically had the place to myself.

This is the 2nd time we were met with an extremely rude staff member. We got there approx an hour before tee time and I made them aware one of the golfers are not going to make it. (We booked for 3). As soon as I let the gentleman know this he quickly informed me that we will be charged and we did not provide enough notice. I told him I understood. He then continued to lecture me that GolfNow users are horrible. I stayed silent paid the dues got a sleeve of balls and headed to the range.

Got back to putting green and then went back in and asked the gentleman for a key to another cart so my buddy could drive separate. He asked me why, I explained to him I plan on shanking my ball in the woods (joking, not hoking) and I didn’t want to hold up pace, esp if we are paying for three spots. He explained to me I don’t need another cart. I asked if he still are okay taking the $ for the third spot, he just looked at me and said you don’t need it and won’t get one.

I said okay, tee time is in 5 min we will head out, he then informed me I couldn’t. He said he had a group that started on the back 9 is coming through, AFTER, the guys that are already on the tee box. The group is on 18 currently. I asked if we could start on the back 9 then…he said no, I asked is that where everyone else started this morning, he said yes, I asked again he informed me that’s “impossible”.

Then he followed me out to the putting green made it awkward by staring at me until we were allowed to start…..9:55 was our start time, we booked 9:40 tee time.

It was a very weird experience. I’m not really sure what happened, but he for sure hates GolfNow players, made that clear a couple times.

The course, it was nice enough for the price. I guess I could be in the wrong for my questions I’m not sure, but I haven’t been treated that way before. It’s uncomfortable.

Don’t be filled by the Country Club title. Course is not maintained well at all. Could be a decent setup if it were. Not worth even close to what they charged.

This is a great golf course with some very challenging holes. Highly recommend a round.

this course is always known for its great layout, fantastic conditions, and fine greens. Unfortunately you can tell it’s being a bit neglected obviously, some financial issues going on bunkers bad shape lots of weeds in the fairways and tea boxes greens are OK for now.

Great course. Love playing here but the course maintenance seems to be lacking. I would have expected better fairway and green conditions for Memorial Day weekend.

Pretty course. Fairways a little furry, no info about course layout, no gps in cart, lucky we used the USGA app to help navigate. All the ball washers were empty, no water to refill cup on the course.

Pleasant staff. Not crowded even though it was a weekend. Greens and fairways in good shape. Tee boxes need work. Course is a bit of a ball-eater as there are gullies, deep grass, wooded boundaries etc on pretty much every hole. Surrounding area is classic Virginia countryside.

Today is Saturday May 3rd 2025. Expected a slower pace on a weekend. Kept pushing up on a member group that verbally refused to allow play-throughs. By the way, if you're not a member here, there's a bell on the 4th hole after the blind hill that a member was "kind" enough to let me know about. Decent course, but I'd recommend playing on a week day. Quit after the 5th hole.

Tee boxes are abysmal and most bunkers are unplayable. Course has really gone downhill over the last few years.

The staff is top tier. The course is well kept. The pace of play can get a bit bogged down on the front 9 but it’s such a nice course with great views. I will keep coming back!

Wednesday was a beautiful day and was nice to play Fauquier Springs in this bright sunny spring day. It troubles me to see this course with so few players and makes me wonder if this is sustainable. Maybe it’s time to loosen the reins a little and make this course at least semi private instead of exclusive. We don’t want to loose acces to this course.
