Raspberry Falls Golf & Hunt Club offers the traditional links course reminiscent of those found in the British Isles, situated amidst Virginia's horse country. The club gets its name from the land's former use, a raspberry field. The scenic terrain overlooks to Catoctin Mountains and there are still a few raspberry bushes dotting the course. By far the layout's most formidable challenges come from the deep, stacked pot bunkers that make it truly feel like a classic Scottish golf course. There are also water hazards on a few holes. The course's signature is the par-4 third hole, which is long but plays downhill all the way. The 10th hole, another par 4, is one of the toughest. The landing area is generous off the tee but there is a creek and pond to the left and fairway bunkers on the right.

Bad condition

Played Sept 17, 2020. Course was in bad shape. Lots of crab grass, GIR areas. Greens showed stress and unfixed ball marks. Sad that it’s in this shape, really is a pretty layout.

Could have been better but okay

Some fairways were a bit roughed up but you could find a place to play from. Greens were just okay, people just don't fix ball marks which is very disturbing in general. the people are great and it's a great layout.

Hot garbage

I’ve played this course for years. I can’t express how disappointing this round of golf was. To start the course was absolutely destroyed. Dead black fairways and greens, non maintained bunkers some now ponds. Zero maintenance. The course was absolutely destroyed. Dead divots laying on the fairways hundreds of them on every hole so if you land in the fairway your ball can’t roll without hitting Chunks of mud divots and stopping the role and I don’t mean to just the whole that the Divet is but the actual chunk of grass just all over it doesn’t look like Divots had been picked up or mowed in weeks. You would have to relocate your putt just to find a straight line to the whole without dead spots in between, black moldy dead spots. It took us over six hours to play a round of golf. We waited for 15 min on every tee box. Another customer we got paired with called the clubhouse and nobody cared. Never saw Marshall on the course. I feel absolutely ripped off of $100 by playing in this condition and I’ll never go back.

September at Raspberry

One of the best layouts in VA. The course is a little beat up but the greens are great. Numbers 2 and 18 Tee shots are some of Tu e most memorable and beautiful tee shots in the Mid Atlantic.

Raspberry Falls

Great course. Staff real friendly. Amenities great! Great layout. Only complaint is we had to wait on the group ahead of us on almost every tee box. They were a foursome and we were a threesome, but then the foursome behind us was waiting on us. This is the first time this has happened. Love the course though.

Mediocre course at a premium price

This course used to be my favorite in the area,, until they raised the price and eliminated the free range balls. The fairways are in terrible condition, and the rough and tee boxes aren’t much better. Very frustrating when you can’t find your ball that’s just off the fairway. Not worth the money, even with a discount.

Love the course

Love this course but due to recent rainfall, it was not in great shape. Too bad they charged (and we paid) premium green fees for such crappy conditions. But I’ll play there again.

Weekend Golfer

I had played Raspberry Falls in the past - though some years ago - and remembered it as challenging but well taken care of course with beautiful views. While the course layout and views remain as nice as ever, the course conditions and the management of play made for a very disappointing experience. The course was not nearly as well taken care of before with deficient weed management on many of the fairways and the condition of fairway and green turfs indicating that it was not getting the kind of care you would expect. In addition, for the Sunday we played, the course had far too many players on it, leading to major delays on virtually every hole on the front nine and that continued on the back nine. We were headed for 5.5-6 hour round and so we quit after the 12th hole so as not to have spend late into Sunday evening to finish. These issues with the course are fixable but the staff did not really seem interested in accommodating its guests. I would think more than twice before going there again anytime soon.

Course in terrible condition

Had a torrential rain 10 days prior - sand traps were traps of dirt - sand washed away - worst part - CART PATH ONLY ENTIRE COURSE. Some fairways just dirt - no grass.

Going downhill....fast

This golf course used to be a premier course in DMV area. Sadly...not any more. Gone is the GPS from the carts, the course condition is poor (bald patches in fairways, greens are very poor, cart paths are broken/in disrepair, etc.). At the current price point, I would expect better.

what happened?

I've played this course for the past 20 years. Today's round was the worst shape I have seen the course. The greens were slow, bumpy, full of weeds. The fairways were chewed up considerably.

Course was NOT in good shape

Very disappointing for a first time visitor. Fairways were beat. Some of the tee boxes were not well maintained. A few of the bunkers were a mess.

The wooden bridge to the 18th green has been washed out / wrecked by a storm.

Disappointed

I’ve played here a number of time, awhile ago. I was really disappointed with the condition of the course. Greens were ok but had a lot of ball marks. The traps were horrible. All were lacking in quality sand. Many were like rock gardens. The weather has taken a toll on the Bent fairways and tee boxes. Sad.

Awful Shape (8-23-2020)

One of my fave courses has really fallen on hard times. Course is in awful shape and I advise anyone expecting a 'top shelf' course to look elsewhere until mid-Sept. Apparently NO ONE replaces their divots any more, so couple this with recent aeration/rain and you get some really beat up greens. #11 was 50% sand so good luck holding your line. Almost every fairway has GUR and the tee boxes look like they hosted a rodeo. I'm happy to spend $$ on good courses but it's galling that Raspberry continues to ask $109 when county muni's are in FAR better shape and FAR less expensive.

Very disappointing

Played 8/23/20. Course was in bad shape: fairways beat up, rough not mown well, bunkers full of mud. No ranger management or they over booked as painfully slow. 1 of our 3 gave up after 7 holes, we gave up after 12. Definitely not worth it for the money and will not play there again.

This place could be so nice...

Nice touch by RGM to dispute a negative review by blaming it on 7” of rain. Funny thing the weather service said Leesburg only got 2.25” inches of rain on the day in question. They also have something called pumps that drain bunkers. RF is a great layout, but too often underwhelming conditions. Drainage issues can be fixed, and sod can be replaced. Please restore the course to what it should be. Especially at the rates you charge. Can’t blame it on the outings this year, just neglect.

Rough Shape

The course is looking pretty rough. Definitely not in good enough shape to pay top dollar. Dead spots throughout the course. Greens still recovering from aeration on top of dead spots. A flash flood actually took out the 18th green bridge. It needs a lot of work.

game wasn’t on, but course was spectacular

could tell it’s been used up this summer, fairway needed some work and had some rough patches. Greens were also very sandy and bumpy which made them a bit hard to play at times. Overall, some spectacular views from tee boxes and professional looking holes. Would definitely look to come back once course is in a bit better shape.
