Independence Golf Club - Championship

greens were absolutely perfect. highly recommend.

Course in great shape. Greens fast but true. Nice driving range. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful.

First time playing there and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Greens were above average speed and in great condition. Ball rolled true every time. Bermuda rough is tough so try to stay in fairways. Layout was fine, nothing too crazy. I would put this in my top 5 courses in Richmond.

Hadn't played there since June and the greens are immaculate.

Course conditions were as nice, (scale 1 to 10 an 8.5). Best course I've played so far in VA. Driving range is matted which is a negative. Fairways are opportunistic for the long driver (+285). However, missed fairways tend to land in heavy Bermuda rough creating flier lies as well as stunted approach shots. The course greens roll true, so reading the breaks are the difference between par and bogey/ All and all a good course to play, should you be able to find reduced green fees for less than a Benjamin.

I've encountered rednecks on a golf course playing loud music but never a redneck golf course playing blaringly LOUD rock music. It was so loud it was difficult to focus on the correcting my bad ball strikes. I took a work vacation day to play on a Tuesday, the majority of people at the course were seniors as would be expected. I doubt they enjoy being blasted with loud rock music but I could be wrong. I've heard this was a premier course (and cost) but not a redneck managed course which from what I experienced today, it is. Most upsetting was on 10th tee hearing an emotionally upsetting song that took me 4 holes to get out of my head. No pars on those 4 holes. The course was good, and some great staff; though others ignored their responsibilities of ensuring the customers were stocked with range balls as preferred to hit their own range balls. It was a very disappointing experience that I have no desire to repeat. Play (and pay premier greens fee) at your own risk.

Wonderful course. If you’re in Richmond I highly Recommend

Independence is definitely a beautiful course but it should never take over 5 hours to play a round and truthfully, I prefer Magnolia green and Royal New Kent for the top courses in the area! It is also extremely annoying that they change their Tee boxes constantly so that the total yards on the scorecard is not accurate!

A couple of guys who run the pro shop are rude and insulting, and I've even seen one of them maliciously concoct a false story to get a player into trouble. The managers are cheap and the course is overpriced. They overcharge for everything. The greens have so much grain that it's impossible to tell which way your putt is going to meander, and there really isn't any break even on a slope.

Even though over two inches of rain had fell the bight before, the Couse drained well to make the course very playable.

Condition of fairways and greens are in excellent shape.

Layout is very playable and staff very helpful and friendly.

i love this course. they maintain it so well. looking forward to next time.

Such a nice course. Greens are super fast and roll true. Fairways are awesome as well. If you are visiting the area - Independence is a must play.
