Surprisingly well kept, not busy, but very challenging greens
I booked here on a whim. Pace of play was great, as we never had to wait on a hole after hole #1, got through 18 holes in 3:45 with myself and 1 other random I was paired with - both of us mid/high handicappers. Course was mostly very well kept, greens were in good condition - but they are VERY challenging greens with varying speeds, slopes, and some pin locations basically on an angle, Didn't score particularly well as I putt a LOT trying to figure out these greens.
Also - DON'T walk this course, the layout is a bit rough and there are at least 3x you'll have to walk 10-15 mins just to get to the next hole.

Much Improved
I have played this course a ton and with the exception of cart path only due to rain, it was the best conditions i have played there in years. The greens rolled faster (fairer) than I can remember. Bravo to the VCPGC crew.
