Staff were beyond rude

We played there for our final time. We’ve been going to this course for years and the staff have grown increasingly more ace more rude. This was the final straw. The starter was an absolute pr** to not only our group but all others there. While checking in, the staff were very rude and condescending because THEY over booked, which has been an ongoing issue. We are not paying This much money to be treated like that. Won’t be going back unless some major changes are made, there’s plenty of other courses around the area.

Great time

All around good time. I asked a person if I was putting the cart in the correct spot and he told me I was before telling me he could kick me out for outside alcohol. (I don’t drink but was throwing away my water and another white claw can) I understand but may suggest they could sell more by reminding us and offering beverages when checking in is all I may suggest

Decent starter course

Second time back to SVGC, didn't really remember the first time out. The course is well maintained but pretty unremarkable, fair warning the fairways are red clay immediately under the grass so any divet on iron shots don't expect much outside of sore wrists. I will give credit that the course is very very playable even for novice players and there aren't many obstacles to eat up balls. $22.75 pre tip for 3 hot dogs felt on the steep side but they were decent dogs. Staff was very friendly.

All in all, I would call the experience okay, however I wouldn't be looking to go again. Especially knowing there's courses like Sly Fox and Blue Ridge Shadows in a similar price range nearby.

Course is in great shape

This was my first time playing the course this year and the course was in great shape. The weather was perfect, so the course was pretty crowded. But, pace of play was great.

excellent round

This course is a real gem. The greens are in perfect condition and are very true. I played very early and was done in 2 and 1/2 hours without rushing. I am going back again tomorrow for the same experience.

This is hidden gem! The layout, the staff, and the price are all amazing. However, I did have a hiccup. I pre-paid for two golfers and my son was not able to make it and I could not get a refund for one round because I had pre-paid through Golf Now. The pro shop kindly told me that I had to contact Golf Now for the refund.

Nice challenging but fair

Challenging but fair course. Hero shots will be punished. Playing it smart will reward you. Bunkers could use some TLC

Difficult rough

The course is very nice. My only issue was the 4+ inch rough with narrow fairways and no first cut. I lost 3 balls because my tee shots missed the fairway and I couldn’t find the ball in the rough.
