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.

Golf staff to the rescue

I made my tee time thru Golfnow and when I arrived from NJ the course had no record of it. The Pro Shop staff didn't blink an eye. I showed them my confirmation email and they assured me I would get out even though the course was packed. 25 minutes later the starter sent my wife and I out with another twosome and we had a great day! The Starter was very friendly and accommodating.

Probably bad timing

Probably just bad timing for me... The greens were just arirated and the fairways were pretty beat up in some spots. I loved the layout and shot making chances. You must stay in play in order to score, probably lost 4-5 balls because of super thick rough, which meant lost strokes. I would like to play the same course at the same price in late September.

Course will be in better condition when the greens heal.

Fairways were great. The greens had been aerated and we're bumpy, pace of play was 5 hours and 20 minutes for 18 holes. Staff were knowledgeable and friendly it was cart path only for the first 9 holes due to all the rain the night before. Back 9 went faster since we could drive carts on course. Was a great day of golf.

Overall and excellent experience. However, we encountered several holes where the sprinklers were running and we had to locate grounds crew to turn them off.

Great day!

We had a great time on a great course. We were booked as a twosome and they put us with another guy. Except for a single in front of us, we were the first tee time and, with foursomes behind us, we quickly got to a point where it was as if we owned the golf course. It was an absolutely beautiful day. The course was in great shape. Challenging but fair. Just don't hit it in the deep rough! Greens were rolling pretty fast, and they're tricky. I was disappointed that some player don't fix their ball marks.

Great Course, In OK Shape, With Snooty Marshall

You shouldn't judge a book by it's cover; however, that's what how I felt while I was being address by the Marshall. Maybe he was stressed due to an amateur teenager tournament going on, maybe he was judging my group by our collective age. Regardless, his behavior was demeaning and unprofessional, starting the round off in a bad light. Once we made it out to the course, the Marshall wasn't doing a good enough job in moving the groups along, resulting in lots of waiting. There are several holes which are cart path only due to the lack of rain, so this added time as well. Overall a beautiful course I will def. play again, however this one Marshall needs an attitude adjustment; or maybe he was having an off day...

Fair, playable course

typical of Gary Player designs, this course is an enjoyable, fair course. There's enough challenge to keep you on your toes, but it does not beat you up.

Lovely golf and facility

We had a wonderful experience at Raspberry Falls. Rental clubs were good, course was nice and wide and well designed, playable for beginners and challenging enough for seasoned golfers. Main problem was the flies. They said there were none the day before but I suggest you bring bug spray just in case.

Very good course, not worth $$$ though

Love this course, always in good condition despite the volume of play. Very hot day and the refreshment cart did come by two or three times. Ice cold drinking water every few holes was great. Would play here more often if the fees were less than three figures. Till that happens this will be a special occasion course, maybe once a year.

Another day in the Foothills.

Each time I've played this course I have found it to be in excellent condition with very friendly staff. One of my favorite courses in NOVA.

To me, the 1st Hole is the easiest and the18th the toughest. As it should be.

While there is water on the course, it shouldn't be a factor. In some sand traps around the holes, one should be prepared to get the ball up and over some very high embankments.

Great Layout!

Every hole was unique. The most striking hole was the 18th with a cliff-side tee box and a cross-over-the-creek green. Course was in good condition. The course is very much what you see is what you get. Not many surprises. Greens were good with only occasional small bumps. Bunkers were well constructed and in good shape except for a couple that did not drain the rain from the previous night. Saturday morning pace of play could be improved - it was a 4:40 round.
