Stonewall Golf Club at Lake Manassas

The greens looked like the surface of Earth’s moon - craters everywhere from unfixed ball marks. The greens were spotty, some places furry, others quasi bald. Fairways were not very good and hard to get a good lie. Disappointing to say the least.

I do not mind being in a good bunker every now and then but having five bunkers on every hole that are kind of hard dirt with some rocks in it is not the most pleasant experience. Nice course though there's three or four holes on the back nine that are gorgeous looking over lake Manassas.

The greens were covered with unfixed hallmarks, they were slow and fuzzy, the fairways were rough and hard to get a good lie on, and many bunkers had very little sand and were filled with footprints and unraked areas. Staff was very good and attentive.

As other have said, unrepaired ball marks cover almost every green. Rough around greens and collars are either bare or crabgrass. Tee boxes in rough shape, with barely any grass in the majority.

The day we played, it seems as if the greens hadn’t been mowed in a few days, extremely slow.

First time playing here. I'm guessing no one has fixed their ball marks on the green all season. Nor has the staff made any attempt to level them out. If you maintain a handicap, keep in mind that you're going to miss several putts that you would have made on a proper green.

The staff should hand out cheap divot tools with each group and tell them they're expected to repair their marks AND fill their divots on the boxes and fairways. It would help a ton.

I'm actually going back for the layout now that I've gained a little local knowledge. I'm just looking for GIRs on this course.

Great course with a great staff. Greens were in terrible shape with un-repaired ball marks. Seemed like most groups made zero effort to repair their ball marks or fix divots in the fairway.

Paid just north of $60 for 18 holes of golf on a Friday, considerably cheaper ($30-$60 less) than many other courses in the greater DC metro that are objectively beneath Stonewall in condition, layout, scenery, pace, and service. Course was in good condition. Not great, but for end of July, better than I’d had hoped for. Pace was fine. Waited on about four or five tee boxes throughout the round, none of which lasted more than 90 seconds. The one issue, which didn’t end up being an issue, was being informed around 7:30 that the carts were due back in around 8:30. When asked why 8:30, and why that wasn’t disclosed upon booking/paying, we were told something along the lines of safety. When asked if we’d be refunded pro rata for any holes we’d forego in playable conditions, didn’t get an answer. We ended up walking off 18 around 8:50, with visibility being slightly limited for our final two shots. Ended up being a non issue, but the attempt to implement a policy three hours into a group’s round that could easily be advertised upon booking is either lazy, disingenuous or both. Such a policy could very well make the difference between a full round and only15-16 holes. Let people know what they’re paying for when they’re paying for it. That being said, it didn’t end up being an issue. 18 holes for $60-a-head at one of the top public courses in the area. Incredible value, especially compared to its peers in Northern Va. Staff couldn’t have been friendlier.

Fairways had a lot of damage from unrepaired divots. Bunkers are in bad shape and need refreshed sand. Greens are damaged from unrepaired ball marks. Based on conditions, I'd say the cost should be more in the range of $60-$80 per round, not $80-$120.
