Update Course Calendar

Let's start off with the good. The staff was great, and the course was in great condition. I booked a tee time for my wife and I on 9/25/2022 around 8am. We showed up and paid for the round and headed off to see the starter. I was informed at this time due to a members shotgun start at 9am we would only be allowed to play the "Red" course (9 holes twice). We had no options since we already paid for the round.

The "Red" course was not very challenging, and my wife and I finished in under two hours. We left after playing 9 holes and not in the mood to simply replay the same holes again. Prior to booking our round I checked the golf course calendar and no mention of an event scheduled for 9/25/22. I'm writing this to warn other golfers the course may assign them to play the same 9s without any warning prior to you showing up to the course.

My wife and I live in Manassas and drove two hours (around trip) to play this course. Will not be returning.

Like the course but poor play management

I've played this course twice before and had great experiences. This time was horrible due to a tournament going on in the morning. Tee boxes for general play were stacked due to weaving in players coming off their front 9. There was no real relief privided by Marshals but honestly not sure what they could have done. Really wish i would have known of the tournament before booking.. It took 6 hours to play 18 which will always make you grumpy.

Labor Day

Great course, staff was great, gave it a 4 for course condition bec they are changing the fairways over to bermuda. (I think) and that is just on one of the three 9 hole courses. Don’t let that stop you from going. It is still very good and will be outstanding when it grows in completely.

Great course

The course is very well maintained. Staff is very friendly. A couple of t boxes are rather close to the previous green - so need to be aware of this.

Good value

Shenandoah Calley was a good golf experience. The white course was recently aerated and cart path only. The greens were good. The fairways still thin but had good roll out. The blue course was good. The layout provided different vistas and challenges. Definitely a good value.

Best bang for the buck

This course just keeps getting better. First time this year I played here and it’s looking great. Greens rolled true and the fairways were in great shape. Clubhouse with the additional deck space would be the perfect place for an outing. I’ll definitely be back!

Great experience, will definitely return!

It's been a few years since I last played at Shenandoah GC and my experience was positive just like the last time. The staff was welcoming and courteous. I came as a single and joined a threesome. One of the guys was a member and was very helpful with course navigation. The area got some good rain over the weekend and the conditions were excellent. The tee boxes and fairways are well kept and the greens were pristine. The view of the surrounding mountains calmed me after a couple of bad shots. I will be back again. Hopefully the white course will be ready to play on by then.

Not a friendly staff and a starter

So rude to our group and not very informative. Due to the weather it was not good condition to play, too slippery. I requested inquiry to starter, an old gentleman, he seemed ignore me. Don’t go this golf course.

Not the best this course has been

I have played here many times before in tournaments and never had a bad experience. Pace was very slow, at one point had four groups on a par 5. Greens were so fast it was like putting on a hardwood floor. Rough was too tall, lost a couple balls in wide open areas. Staff was friendly . Course is laid out ok but too many blind hills make this course a little unsafe. Had a ball land in our cart. Overall I’d probably give it another shot.
