Augustine Golf Club

Staffs are very friendly.
Course condition was much better than last week.

I haven't had a chance to play this course in a long time but I had a good impression from the last time I played. Prior to playing the course I read some of the reviews posted and I was concerned with so many average reviews. This is not what I remembered when I played it the last time.

Well, the course is far from average and in my opinion its the best of the any of the Raspberry Golf Trail courses which I have played all of them. Its not perfect but offers a real challenge and I will be back. The greens where in great shape, offered some challenging puts and rolled well even though the had been aerated early in the week. The reviews of slow greens are hard to agree with. My only negatives I had about the course follow; a short par three of about 100 yards is kind of a joke hole, the score cards don't provide warning on wet marshy areas that cross a couple of the fairways (ask for a yardage book that the marshal kindly provided), bunkers were very shallow and the fairways were still brown but its early in the spring. Sorry folks that all I can complain about. I'll be back several times this summer.

Also, congrats to the staff for being so friendly and managing a beautiful course.

The fairways were still dormant so the lies were tight. Not much rough to speak of. The greens were slick and rolled great for being aerated.

Due to the snow and rainfall that has occurred if found the course to be in good shape. It was cart path only and the course did have soggy spots on almost every hole. As stated we've had an unusual amount of snow and rain this year.
I love playing this golf course especially since they did some updates. Once everything dries up I'm certain that this course will be in fabulous shape like it was back in the fall. I've found it to be the best course around northern VA for the money. Especially when you can grab a "hot deal" off of golfnow.com! It still is the best course around for the money even at the normal rate.
The staff were friendly and the accommodations were as equal. We stopped at the turn and had a hotdog and some home made chips! The facility was is in great shape and I would recommend this course to everyone that loves a great round of golf. Tim Hayes

One of the best courses in the area. Nice layout & normally in really good condition.

Gorgeous course. Nice practice facilities. Very friendly and helpful staff. Only thing I didn't like was there was no bathrooms, water, or ball cleaners out on the course.

Augustine is back at being on of the best courses in Notthern VA

Considering all the recent snow, they kept the course up. Greens somewhat bumpy in places, but overall putts rolled pretty true. Bunkers were well dressed, and very little water on the course. Cart path only was restricted on only 2 holes.

Considering the snow, the cold weather , the time of the year and the rain, the course was in good shape. It was cart path only but that was not an issue. The drainage was good and the wet spots were minimized. The greens require some work but again, considering the time of the year, they were not bad.
I would play the course again and would recommend it to friends.

Nice course - friendly staff - free range balls - free course booklet. Doesn't get much better.

Being a member of a country club I understand that when I go and play a public course that the greens may not be as pure or in as good of shape as the greens at my home course. With that being said, most of the greens on public courses that I have played have been pretty good. I played yesterday at Augustine and while the greens were bumpy and a bit damaged, that was to be expected because of the winter conditions, I get that. I had read recent reviews about Augustine and people said the greens were slow. I had no idea that they were going to be this slow though. They were the slowest that I have ever putted on and when you combine that with the fact that they were really bumpy and ball marks all over the place, it was a bit too much. Again I understand that this is a public course and all but other public courses in the area have much better greens. I liked the layout of the course very much as it was my first time there but I am not sure that I will be back, especially when the greens are so poor and so slow.

the course was in great shape but needs more sand in the traps had fabric showing on alots of the traps.And the greens was super slow

Outstanding layout with some challenging holes. A couple of the greens are "relatively" new and not as pristine as the rest. However, they still rolled well.

The layout is good but the work they are doing made playing a little problem. They have spread sand over most of the fairways and all of the greens, enough so that you need to clean you club after every shot, even between puts. The uneven spread of sand on the greens make a true role and speed on each green and between greens vary greatly. The price was OK for this course but I wouldn't pay even close to their normal price per round. I would recommend this course but only for the discount rate.

Enjoyed playing this course, it is in great shape. Greens are a bit slow, but are in great shape. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Solid Course, friendly staff. Not crowed on the Saturday that I played

Played this course last Wednesday 9/25/13.

8:20am tee time. Played as a twosome and we finished in 3 1/2 hours.

The course is in pristine condition. From tee to green i have no complaints at all. Very scenic course with lots of trees and nice elevation changes.

Grass tee driving range is nice. I like the ability to hit driver and woods at the range. This course only allows irons on the range.

One of the nicest courses I've played this entire season.

New management company did an incredible job bringing this course back to life. This course is an hour drive for me but it's worth the drive and prices are cheaper than all of the nicer NOVA courses.

When I first played this course in 2004 I remember it being in Excellent condition. Perhaps my memory is faulted, or my standards in courses has changed, but it has gone way downhill. Still one of the more interesting layouts in the area, but the greens were quite a letdown. Most were shaggy as a bad 70's carpet, bumpy and filled with bare spots. The tees were a sad mix of grass and weed. The fairways were still very nice but my true mark of a course is the quality of the greens and this course needs some real work. Won't be going back unless there's a significant change in conditions.

Had the first tee time off and as a threesome figured we would be done in about 3 hours. It wasn't until after I arrived and was ready to tee off that we were told by a ranger to not play too fast as they were putting out a shotgun an hour after we teed off that would occupy holes 6-18. Sure enough once we got done with the 5th hole, there were two groups on the 6th tee box and we waited on every single shot for the next 3.5 hours.

Would have been nice to know ahead of time.

Got a great deal on the tee time but sometimes the time and pace of play is more valuable. That cost them a star

First time I have played this course. It was in great shape physically and offers up some challenging shots. Staff there was very friendly and helpful.
