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.

This course is great when in good condition.

Raspberry is a great track and when in good condition one of the best in the metro area. Currently, the green are a mess, even taking into consideration the aeration and sanding.
This was a good value with the Golf Now discount but at full greens fee, I might have requested some refund given the condition.

I have played this course quite a few times and is generally in excellent shape.

I'm sure things will get better in the Fall.

Great layout

I think this is one of the best courses in NOVA that is accessible to the public. I rate it up with Stonewall and Westfields. The greens have just been aerated and sanded. Even at that most putts held their line fairly well. There are some areas with crab grass issues in the rough. Fairways are great.

Great layout that's ruined by pace of play

This course has a fantastic layout but the pace of play is horrible, Many times we've been at this course and the round was close to 6 hours. The fact that they don't have a marshal doesn't help. Plus the course conditions are deteriorating every month.
Poor management

My wife and I played the course for the first time. It is a beautiful course and it is challanging at times. The staff was not atentave and that was a little disappointing. Over all it was a great day and a nice experience.

Good layout and experience but course is always wet

I enjoy the layout, the greens are good (not great) , and the service is solid, particularly the multiple beers on tap at the 19th hole. My only complaint is that the course is always very wet including the fairways, rough and greens in an effort to maintain the bent grass fairways. This is the case regardless of the recent weather. It's frustrating getting no roll and then having to play from wet lies all day even if it hasn't rained recently. I played lift, clean and place in the fairways even though I couldn't remember the last time it had rained. I had multiple shots plug, including one in the rough.

Tough, yet fair course

This is one of Northern VA's best public courses. Pricey and crowded on the weekends, a better experience during the week. Only downside is pace of play, some golfers should either move up a tee or bypass this course altogether. Didn't see a marshal on the back nine, which was too bad.

One of the best courses to play !

As usual Raapberry Falls did not disappoint! The staff were extremely attentive. Tee times were well spaced out. I was a single & was grouped with 3 other people but we didn't have to wait on any shot on any hole. Of course I did play on a Monday so traffic was minimum. The weekend may be a different story. Some of the tee boxes are not in good shape but other than that the fairways are in great shape & the greens were rolling fast & true. It is in great shape overall

Fantastic time

Excellent challenge. Lots of sand and deep traps, well placed in typical Gary Player style. He even left large boulders in play.
Great course for the golf now price. Nice range and practice area

This course is always in great shape

Raspberry falls is perhaps the best golf course in northern Virgina. The course is always in pristine condition, great value for the money. Raspberry falls has perhaps the best staff of any facility that I have visited. These guys are very accommodating, they will do whatever is needed to get you on the course. Lastly, great food, give the the tuna sandwich a try.

Still a great venue.

Played 7/12/13 for the first time in several years. The clubhouse atmosphere brought back warm memories. From the original artwork to the antique golf clubs, to the dark wood paneled walls and the stuffed fox over the large fireplace with a golf ball in its mouth. Conditions were soggy after a record rainfall in June and continued rains in July, but drainage was good enough (aside from ponding in some traps) and the greens, although slower than usual, were still fast enough and very true. Cart path only due to the conditions, but still finished in less than 4 hours. Well trained and courteous staff. Raspberry Falls remains one of the top courses in the region available to the public.

A course I would play every day and enjoy

This course has a fantastic layout, some splendid views and several spectacular holes(4,10,15 and 18). Very well maintained, except for some of the bunkers, but with the deep bunkering design, this is very difficult. Elevation changes and well shaped fairways encourage you to select clubs carefully and shape your shots. The course will run you through every club in your bag. The greens are well designed for each hole.

Did Not Live up to the Hype

I had read many reviews about Raspberry Falls and could not wait to play it. Although there were some very pretty holes and some elevated tees made it unique I was a bit disappointed at the shape of the greens (people are not fixing the ball marks), the tee boxes -not in great condition, and the fairways(dried out in many areas), the bunkers were not in good shape and the one on number one had bees nested everywhere in them. So much so that my partners could not play out of that bunker. The people were super friendly and the course marshall was very good about checking on us and getting us cold wet towels, but the course did not (for me anyway) live up to its billing. I drove over 40 miles to play here, but it is unlikely that I will return. I would recommend it for a person who lived closer, just as a one time experience.
