Raspberry Falls Golf & Hunt Club

It was nice course once but now it's not. The pace of play was awful, most of cooler was empty even though very hot weather, swarm of small flies kept following and bothered the faces. Some tee boxes was ruined. I don't want to go there until weather get cold or course management get improved.

I liked this course...but.... given the price, I would have expected GPS on the cart, ball/club washer/mini cooler.... I may be asking for too much, but I've had better for far less money on other courses. Would I play there again? Yes, if I am in the neighborhood and the greens fee is more reasonable.

Played here with my brother and our 85 year old uncle , who was a PGA tour pro one rode along. The staff was super accomidating and friendly , layout and playability is superb. Some of the greens were a bit beat up but otherwise my group had a wonderful time. Will be back !

I was told when I teed off that everyone was finishing within 4 1/2 hours. Well it took us 5 hours. When we got to the 18th tee box there were 3 groups waiting to tee off. Too many courses to play in this area: I will choose another course next time.

I usually play this course at least once a year and every time I'm reminded why I want to play here, but never come back for the rest of the year. Great layout, Great staff. They try to keep the course in good condition (except it looks like some of the tee boxes never receive any maintenance) considering the amount of play it receives - all good except for the 6+ hour rounds. This time, there was a tournament (what "premier" public course books tournaments on Fridays???) which created 4-5 separate groups on several tee boxes until people just gave up and left. The only reason I tried it again this year is because they were charging $52. But nothing is for free and in this case the cost was my time. I've instituted a permament ban on this course.

This is a beautiful course but I felt the course condition is going down, especially for the front 9 greens. Staff is friendly. Food at the restaurant is not very good though.

Everyone is very helpful. Our only problem (and it was only this time) is that the three groups in front of us were extremely slow. We ended up skipping two holes to get ahead of them, as there was no one slowing them down. Other than that, it was an absolutely lovely time.

This is a wonderful golf course, immaculately maintained with beautiful views and homes. The cart loaders were dressed in long sleeves and bow ties, a little warm for them on a 90 degree afternoon. Everything was first rate, except for pace of play. Took 5 hours to play 18 holes. Ranger said that it was not due to slow players, just people being out early in the year. I didn't buy that. They had 4 holes (long ones) as cart path only, although course was totally dry in mid summer conditions. Allowing these holes to be 90 degree cart would have speeded things up considerably. Waited at least 20 minutes on #18, with 3 groups backed up on it.

When proper pace of play, this would be in my top 10 list.

Our tee off time was 10:30 and we finished just before . The course was in good condition.

The staff here is awesome, course is great, beautiful weather and paired up with nice couple!

Second in the area only to Creighton Farms.

Great layout, challenging tee shots, & fast greens. Only disappointing part was the bunkers (lots had just mud in them). Definitely worth the drive out there

Only negative is that the greens were freshly aerated. that would have been nice to know prior to booking, but was still very playable.

Personally, this is one of my favorite courses in the Northern Virginia area. With the way in which the course is laid out, it never feels as if it is crowded, and even on the busiest of days, it never feels as if you have someone breathing down your neck. I absolutely enjoy the layout of each hole, as they present different challenges and opportunities on each one. From an aesthetic point of view, the course is beautiful, especially in the early fall once the leaves begin changing color. It seems as if many of the semi-private courses in Northern Virginia have houses bearing down right on top of fairways and greens, but you'll find an adequate distance between course and residence. While many of the fairways are large, the subtle rolls and other obstacles thrown in the way add to the challenge that this course presents. Finding yourself in any of the bunkers will provide the greatest challenge to the game, as there are some that are simply brutal to recover from. The course staff is as friendly and professional as always, and add to the experience of playing. If looking for a place to get away and simply connect with the game, then Raspberry Falls is the place to be.

December 11th and 68 degrees. The course was in great shape, well worth the 1 1/2 hour ride Home in Friday traffic.

This is the prettiest public course in Northern Virginia...hands down. The mountain and valley views are breathtaking. I can only imagine that this place is even prettier in the summer. The view from the 18th tee box is unreal.

The service left a lot to be desired. My reservation included free range balls, but there was no mention of it at the pro shop. Nor were there any range balls available at the range. I eventually drove back to the cart house and asked where I could get range balls and I was just told "they were out there." It's not the biggest gripe, but a course like Raspberry is competing for the higher-end public golfing dollar. There service wasn't half as good as what I got at Whiskey Creek two weeks prior.

Excellent conditions, but no one out there to chop up the course. Greens fast and hard to read. Should have shot 6 strokes better, but needed a caddy to read the uphill and downhills. hade to look at everything from every angle to get close enough not to 3-putt.

Other than 3 holes under repair, the course is superbly maintained, and we enjoyed so much playing on the course.

Great layout, was extremely windy and cold, planning to return

Nice course, very good staff, generous fairways,. Long if you want it. I look forward to playing it again!
