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 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.

Great course, great location

This is one of the nicest courses in NOVA. Hard to pay $100 for a round, but with the golfnow value, it's certainly worth $70-$80. Great Gary Player layout, challenging speedy greens. Just visually relaxing regardless of how you are playing.

Beautiful setting

The layout of the course is varied and at times challenging with some pothole-like bunkers, and overall that variety makes it fun. The overall surrounding country and the course itself are beautiful; there are not too many developments imposing on the natural beauty of the countryside. The back-up was not bad, but just under 5 hours is a little slow. All-in-all it's a fun golfing experience.

Course is well maintained and scenic

Enjoyed Raspberry Falls course. Course was well maintained and overall very nice. The greens rolled well and were in good condition...though I did find myself fixing a lot of pitch marks...may have been from the tournament earlier in the day. Holes 3 and 18 were particularly scenic as they were elevated tee shots through a bit of a chute. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Worth the drive and money!

Incredible course. You really get what you pay for with this one. The view on 18 is, as advertised, amazing. Tons of fun and drains very well (we went the day after rain in the area).

I hear it can get crowded on nice days but due to the previous day's rain and that day's forecast we lucked out and were able to fully enjoy the course at our own pace.

Great place to play. They had a group tournament, and it was a long day. They should consider having marshal to keep everyone moving. “While we are young…”

Worth Every Penny

If you are looking for a premium-level public golf course, this is the best in the area. The staff and facilities are top-notch, as are the course conditions. Some might prefer slightly faster greens but they are by no means slow and might help your score, which is good because this course can be very challenging.

No other public course has as high a quality of landscape as Raspberry Falls. From the fairways to the greens, rough, bunkers, hazards and cart paths, you will not find a more pristine setup. If you find a good GN deal for this course (I paid $32 the last time I played) you won't walk away disappointed no matter your score. If you live within 50 miles of Leesburg, this course is worth the trip.

the reputation precedes it

Great course. Spread out over quite a bit of real estate. Well maintained, greens are fast, fairways wide, tee shots are relatively easy, fairway irons and putts are the challenge. It was challenging for my first time. Will def come back.

Hallmark Standard

Raspberry is always enjoyable. Price is steep before 11, as there typically aren't any discounted tee times. Pace was super slow on the front, but the marshalls got it moving on the back.

My only criticism of Raspberry is the course doesn't draw any sort of imagination to your shot making. Everything is pretty much straight shooting and carry. Trees never come into play so there aren't any hooks, cuts, or punches required.

Could be better....

GREAT layout, challenging but fair. They need to roll the greens so they all have the same feel. Several we're bumpy and had signs or poorly repaired ball marks.
Beverage cart girl was nice and we saw her 3X, food from inside was awful. Save your $$$ and eat somewhere else after your round. I think RF gets by on reputation, so there's little incentive to make it better. Not terrible, but it could be spectacular.....

Nice Layout

Played in late May and the course was in good shape overall (it won't look like this in July or August). We've had plenty of rain in the area and this allows the fairways and greens to recover from play. I had not played this course in 10+ years and it was pretty much the way I remembered it. It's meant to invoke the look of a links with the many mounds and pot bunkers (more on those in a minute). The greens were a little fast but putted true even with all the unrepaired ball marks. I guess for the regular rate of $105 (we paid $40 GolfNow rate), players feel they don't have to fix ball marks. C'mon folks, act like real golfers and fix your mark plus one or two more while you wait to putt. As for the pot bunkers, I can say that they need some work. Most of the original stacked sod on the faces has fallen down and has not been replaced so what you see from the fairway is the red clay soil of Northern VA. I don't imagine this is what Gary Player was thinking when laying out the course. Other than the ball marks and the no-longer-stacked sod bunkers, the round was enjoyable and I would play again for $40 (but not for $105).
