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.

One of My Favorites
The layout and condition of this course are always top notch. I play this course 3-5 times per year and have had nothing but great experiences until a small hiccup yesterday. Usually you are greeted in the parking lot and they load up your cart for you but this didn't happen, no big deal until the starter threw us attitude for seemingly no reason. Chalk it up to one bad experience and the rest of the round was fantastic.
Excellent Course for a friendly round of golf
Course was in excellent condition. The greens had ball divots and that was to be expected as this course gets heavy public and tournament use. But seeing I was one of the early morning rounds, the grounds crew should be tending to these and rolling the greens. But overall the layout, scenery, and challenging layout made this course a lot of fun.
Bad greens
Course was in overall good conditions except for the greens. A tournament had played in the morning and the greens showed it. So many ball marks and spike marks hard to really think it was from one day. You could see some pin placement moves that seemed to only be a few feet making some areas of the green just beat down. Everything else with the exception of one bunker was great as always.
Worth the drive
I had played Raspberry Falls in 2004 and figured it was time to return and I was not disappointed. The course was wet from heavy rains the day before but had dried well enough where you could still take carts into most fairways. The traps were in rough shape as mentioned in previous reviews but overall the course was well worth the money I paid on golf now.
Rainy day golf
We had a good day of play, but wet, and enjoyed the course. Lovely open course running through the community at Raspberry Falls. The women's tees make it possible to reach the par fours and a few par fives in regulation.
Nice course but a couple of issues
Overall this course was in good shape and a very nice layout. Lack of GPS and a couple of holes that are hard to know how to play for first timers was an issue. Another annoyance was the inability to drive a cart to the driving range, or to the first tee (or anywhere) until the starter shows up and provides a key to the cart. I was left sitting in the cart in the parking lot until after my designated tee time when finally someone showed up and provided the key. This might have been less annoying if someone had explained that procedure in advance, but no-one did. Pace of play was a full 5 hours with an 8:30 tee time which I thought was slow. In spite of these issues I enjoyed the round and will likely go back, but staff could have mitigated any problems with an explanation for first timers.
Great Outing. Great Pace of Play
I played the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend and was expecting a slower round, but was pleasantly surprised. We had a quick round and the course was in great shape. I had zero complaints with the afternoon and would recommend Raspberry to anyone.
more upscale than most
I think this is largely a "neighborhood course" but you're talking about a neighborhood of homes that were all well into the 1M range. it's a big, open course mostly, a hitters' course though it helps to stay between the berms on either side of the fairway. It has a few really interesting tee-shots off the side of a cliff :) you're up there like a cliff-diver smacking the ball 350 yards to the fairway 200 yards below. I would absolutely not want to walk this course unless I was both in good shape and a masochist.
The clubhouse is quite nice, really. I would guess that Royal St. George sends over a guy now and then just to take notes :) it's not all that impressive from the outside but inside it's very nice. A good solid bar, nice lounge and a good dining-room, not shabby at all.
Excellent Course
What a fantastic course to play on. Great fairways and greens, pace of play was excellent. Highly recommend to anyone.
Great course!
Course was in great condition and staff was fantastic. 5 hour round but on Friday before a holiday weekend it was expected. American flags on all holes was a nice touch.
7000+ Boom
Wide fairways, big and fast greens, and deep bunkers. Challenging course from gold or black tees.
Great course beginning to show its age?
One of my favorite courses; challenging, fun, with great vistas and fascinating holes that challenge any player. Greens are very fast, difficult to read, and a real test.
One major drawback is no GPS on cart; they used to have them but not for past couple of years. You'll need some way to figure out the distances to hazards, around sharp doglegs, and pin distances on some very wide greens.
Course is showing some wear on fairways and some greens. This was the first time for my playing partner. While he liked the course, he didn't think it was worth full price.
Won't take much to return course to 5 stars, but the work needs to be done to preserve on of NOVAs golf gems.
Course in great shape
Always enjoy playing at Raspberry Falls but hadn't been here in a while. Definitely was reminded why I like this place!
Love the layout.
Moved up from FL & looking for courses to play while getting over sticker shock. This was the best value I found to date.
Beautiful golf course
Great experience, excellent condition, beautiful views
Course layout and design
Really fun to play. Elevations, water, crazy bunkers...Every hole is different from any other you already played on this course. You use every club and use every shot. I will be back.
Always a great course
Course in great shape. Pace of play was within reason 4.5 hours. Cart girl friendly and helpful.
Starter and cart staff provided excellent assistance.
RF always a good experience.
Great track even early in season
Best good course in Northern Vitginia
Plays like a classic links course
