Carved from Stafford County's rolling, emerald green hills, Augustine Golf Club plays across a scenic landscape abundant with mature pines and hardwoods. The pristine white bunkers and the lush fairways contrast nicely with the trees. The course conveniently sits just 30 miles from the Washington Beltway. In 2011 when the golf course was acquired by Raspberry Golf Management, who are responsible for several courses in the area, Augustine underwent major renovations that increased its playability. The greens, fairways, rough, bunkers, and tee boxes were all redone. The layout offers a challenge but is gentle enough for beginners to approach with confidence. Included in a round of golf at Augustine are range balls and unlimited use of the driving range, which has different targets and a large putting green.

Awful Conditions

I don’t usually write reviews but this course is in awful condition. I’ve played here many times and this is the worse I have every seen. Bare spots everywhere and no grass at all on most tee boxes. I know it is early in the season and most courses are not in great shape in April, I don’t see how it recovers to be even decent anytime soon.

Recovering from winter maybe?!

Course layout is fun and can make for some interesting and challenging decisions at times. When we played the fairways were still mostly dormant. What was green in the fairways was not grass unfortunately. The greens were in good shape and rolled true and fast. Not sure if it’s really worth the 45-50 dollars even on a weekend until it’s shaped up a bit. Also, most all of the few boxes are dirt.

off season

We played in 40-45 degree weather and hardly anyone there so can't rate pace of play. Also winter conditions with dormant grass. That aside with the conditions playing from forward tees worked and the course is a very nice flowing design and a joy to play.

Lots of Potential, needs some work

Fantastic layout, interesting holes, good mix of lengths and level of difficulty. Could be a best in the state with some work on the washed out bunkers and thin and patchy grass in fairways. I know the area received alot of rain this season, maybe next year Mother Nature will be more kind. I still had a good time and would consider another round here.

Worth the Drive

Living in Arlington, I try to avoid driving up/down 95 for most of the rounds that I play but Augustine is one of the few that I will brave the traffic for. The staff, course layout, pace of play and conditions make a perfect combination for me to make the trip worthwhile to pay their very reasonable greens fees. If you're from the NorthernVA/DC area, I highly recommend adding Augustine into the mix of courses to play.

Augustine

This course commands your attention from hole 1 with its split fairway. Shot placement is crucial. High altitude tee offs are challenging.. The course is in excellent condition. The staff is very courteous, and helpful. I live 1 hour 45 minutes away in Waldorf MD. The trip was worth it. I will play her again and again!

Great course

Things were still wet from all the rain but the course was very playable. The damage from this summer’s weather was not as evident here as many other courses. Greens in great shape and fairways in good shape. Some tee boxes are being repaired and there is some damage near the greens and fairways, but it is minimal. There was a beverage cart on the course and good food after the round in the clubhouse. Very accommodating staff. The course layout is wonderful here and that hasn’t changed.

Quality golf course

Tee Boxes and greens still need work like most courses this year with the weather conditions but a great layout. A must play if you get a good price!

Beautiful layout and never boring with very different views. Not a walking course at all with hills all the way throughout but still fun to play!

Coming back around

I played this course a few months ago and complained to the superintendent... it was that bad.

He knew it, which was a good thing, and you can tell they have been at it trying to get it back into shape. I played the tips both times and the first time a lot of the tee boxes were mud, with very little grass. The greens had dead spots, the fairways were beaten up, etc. It was not in good shape.

However, the quality of the conditions improved tremendously when I came back. All of the tee boxes were grass, greens were bumpy but you could tell that was due to play, not poor management. Fairways looked much better as well. This is definitely one of my favorite tracks, with some of the best looking holes out there. If it was given the same amount of funding, this course could definitely compete with Raspberry Falls.

Hit hard by the rains

Augustine is one of my favorite courses in the area but it has been hit hard by the incessant rain. All the teeboxes are rotted out and have had to be replanted. The greens are also not what they were. Only one bunker was playable and the greens were bumpy. Course aside, the weather was awesome and the drinks came round often. I'll wait to hear the course has recovered before coming back.

Rough Conditions

Tee boxes are mostly bare with some scraggly grass. Greens have just been aerated so I would definitely ask for a discount. The fairways are in good shape, but due to the tee boxes and greens I would hold off for a while. Historically this has been a top level course for the money. Better conditions for the money elsewhere In the area.

Mother Nature is tough

Was looking forward to an enjoyable day when I checked in and found out that recently had to reaerate the greens due to all the rain we have had. The staff did give a Two for one pass as compensation which was nice. The greens definitely need another week to be as challenging as they are normally. I look forward to going back in a couple weeks and check th conditions.

Fun day

Had a great time at Augustine, one of my favorite layouts. Course conditions are very much improved from a month ago and the course is playing a lot of fun.

Greens rolled very true, fairways have greened up with the recent heat leaving only a few weak areas on the edges, roughs were generally in good shape.

It is clear that the maintenance crew is working hard to provide good conditions with several projects on going as they recover from the cold winter.

I am looking forward to playing again soon
