Montclair Golf Club

The greens are awful, you can't putt on them. The greens grass is as long as the fairway grass. The tee boxes are like hitting out of a bunker. You couldn't pay me to play this course again.

For now save your money

Tees are lacking any sort of maintenance

Greens are atrocious (like it’s really bad)

Golf cart also died on me by hole 8

Just spend an extra 15-20 and go somewhere else until they actually spend some money on this course smh

I love Montclair. It is a reasonably priced, interesting course and normally fairways and greens are in decent shape. Unfortunately the greens have developed some kind of disease and are getting close to unplayable. Hopefully they will come back.

I really like the layout of Montclair Golf Course. The green fees are reasonable, there’s plenty of shade, and the scenery is beautiful. However, the course conditions have been getting worse over time. I can understand if the fairways aren't in perfect shape, but it's hard to accept that the tee boxes are so hard that it's difficult to even stick a tee in the ground. There’s hardly any grass—just dry, packed dirt.

What’s more, the greens have become a mess lately. They’re in such bad shape that it’s almost impossible to judge the speed and control the pace of a putt. It's really disappointing to see such a great golf course not being properly maintained.

I’ve played at Montclair several times and this last round was the worst I’ve seen it. Greens are burned and there seems to be dark green spots on several of them. I recall the pro shop staff mentioning that the tee boxes were being redone at the beginning of the year, but now they are either burned or uncut. Hopefully, the course will get back to where it needs to be. Really is a fun course and good value, but needs a little TLC.

Played a round here recently and was pleasantly surprised by the course layout. It's a narrow track, so accuracy off the tee is a must — definitely not a “grip it and rip it” kind of place. The tree-lined fairways add both beauty and challenge, making every hole feel secluded and scenic.

What really stood out was how peaceful and natural the setting was. You’re surrounded by mature trees, wildlife, and the occasional breeze rustling through the leaves — it felt like golf in a nature preserve.

The greens were in good shape, consistent and true, though a bit on the slower side. Not a dealbreaker by any means, but worth noting if you're used to lightning-fast speeds. Still, they rolled well and held shots nicely.

If you enjoy a more technical round and appreciate courses that reward smart play and offer great views, this place is worth the visit.

Save your money or play somewhere else. Might be the worst course in the area. Greens are usually decent but they are terrible at the moment. Dead spots and extremely slow. Tee boxes are terrible and smells like dead fish/animals around the course. Would not recommend at the moment

The tee boxes were over grown. The cart path has so many holes and bumps that my drinks and personal items in the cart kept spilling and flying around. The greens were so overgrown, every putt had to be hit 3x the power. The layout is interesting with limited adjacent holes but the condition needs vast improvement for me to com back.

Montclair Golf Course in Northern Virginia truly stands out as an exceptional value, especially for an 18-hole round. For the price, it's hard to beat the quality and overall experience you get here.

What consistently impresses is the incredibly friendly and accommodating staff. They genuinely go above and beyond to get you out on the course, even on the busiest days or during tournaments. It's clear they prioritize customer satisfaction and are always looking for ways to make your visit happen.

Another huge highlight is the instruction from Pro Mathew. His teaching methods are refreshingly unorthodox, but they are undeniably proven. He has a knack for getting you into a golf swing that not only improves your game but also makes the process enjoyable. It's a unique approach that yields fantastic results.

While Montclair Golf Course offers a fantastic experience overall, it's not entirely without its minor drawbacks. If there's one complaint, it would be the inconsistent hours of the restaurant. It would be great to reliably grab a bite or a drink after a round.

Despite that small issue, Montclair Golf Course remains a top recommendation for anyone looking for a great value, a welcoming atmosphere, and excellent instruction in Northern Virginia.

Staff was very nice and customer service(Shemur) let me refund my money when we got rained out.

Great course for the money! Looking forward to play there again soon!

Personally I think Montclair was a beautiful course. Well maintained for the most part, I will say the fairways were a bit rough but other than that the course is in wonderful condition.
