Raspberry Falls Golf & Hunt Club
About
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.

Still Good
Used to live in the area and always enjoyed Raspberry Falls. It's been a couple years but is still a nice course to play.
It's a little pricey, but very much in line with upscale golf in the DC area on the weekend.
Greens had been punched some time back and were mostly healed but they were still bumpy. That's about it for the negatives on the course. Fairways and tees were in very good shape. So the course is in good shape but considering it's mid-April in Northern Virginia, I have to give course condition high marks.
The course layout is great. Spread out, but great. Not a fan of houses on a golf course but the houses here are so far removed from the golf course that none of them are in danger, even from the wildest golfer. And it is a beautiful track with scenic views...
Aerated Greens
It was disappointing to get to the course only to find out they had aerated the greens the week prior. There was no indication when I made the reservation nor when I checked in at the clubhouse. There was no discount provided either.
Great fun
Staff and layout fantastic... early season conditions as expected for April.
If back in the area would hit up again!
Course should have been cancelled because of weather but it wasn't. Didn't play but did not get tefunfp
Fun course!
Fun course - greens are usually extremely fast but today were a tad slower than normal, and a little bumpy. Sand traps and fairways in great conditions. Rough is fine -- winter made it easier to hit thru trees/vegetation. Great practice range.
Great layout, beautiful spot. Cold and Windy the day we played . great variety of holes
My new favorite course. It was a cold windy day in the mid 40's when we ended. The staff was great.. Greens were fast but true. Played form the whites seeing it was our first time. Can't wait to play it again when the weather gets better and things start to blossom.
One of the best in the area
Excellent course with great conditions and they maintain the course condition better than most other courses during the off-season too. The course gets expensive during the golf season so if you can find a deal to play here, I highly recommend it. The head pro Mr. Lutz is awesome too.
December Golf
Staff very good - course layout very good - sand traps also in good shape - raked and seemed consistent. Tee boxes and fairways were ok but needed some repair - part of that was due to the time of year. We enjoyed our round of golf
Always a pleasure playing this course
Always a pleasure playing this course. For a late November round, the course was in great shape. Greens rolled well and fairways were well manicured. Will be back soon!
One of the the best courses in NOVA. A must play.
The course is beautiful especially in the fall. The prime time to see the colors is the first week of November.
Great Course Beautiful Day
I really enjoyed my round at Raspberry Falls. The course is beautiful especially with the trees changing colors on a bright sunny November day. The views from some of the elevated tees are wonderful. The course was in great shape with the greens being pretty fast. Interesting variety of holes with some challenging bunker shots. The staff I dealt with in the pro shop, the starter - Harold, and the cart lady were all very friendly, helpful and professional. Had a thoroughly enjoyable round.
Nice course, abrasive staff
We were hyper conscious of our rate of play because were all novice golfers, but were rushed through and made to skip 3 holes. They were rude and we were all convinced the group behind us had caused the hold up. We barely saw the group behind us.
Great course but stressed by weather lately..still very playable
The greens look spotty. Fairways have lots of divots. Tee boxes are ok except for #18. So, the course gets a fair amount of play (IMHO, good). Greens are running around 10 stimpmeter (country club speed) despite the way they looked and had average chatter due to old ball marks. Approach shots need to factor in that the greens are quite firm due to drought like weather for the past month. Overall, definitely puttable but will turn off below average putters as the suble slopes combined with speed will balloon their score up. Bent fairways are one of the premium features to play here. It's my preference when not overwatered but is the most difficult compared to zoysia and bermuda. The course has a good variety of long and short holes. My only complaint are the bunkers. The pot type design is quite penalizing and slows done play. Bunkers are far from Tour grade white. They fine to hit out off meaning that it's not thin, rutted, or packed. The problem is the rocks. I understand loose impediment rule but I'm not a tour player and have to pay for these clubs myself. Note to clubhouse- Upgrade the bunkers and this place would be an awesome gem. Beverage services came around every 45 minutes and was well stocked and friendly. Clubhouse looks well decorated and comfortable. Pro shop looks better stocked than most with adequate staffing to help you. The service level is part of what sets this course above many. Starting with the crew that loads your clubs, attentive starter, on course marshall (saw him at least 4 times), beverage wagon, post round club cleaning, dining room and pro shop. This was my 3 round here (this season) and I waited to make sure my review wasn't based on a one time anomaly. Although the course is showing signs of stress, it won't last as the weather is finally turning. Fall rain and cooler temperature will be a blessing to the greenskeeper. I will play here again and definitely recommend this course.
Nice course
I really enjoyed the layout of the course.
Greens are fast but roll very true
