Independence Golf Club - Championship

A challenging course. Lots of bunkers and elevation change. Undulating multi tiered greens. The greens had been recently airated but will be fully healed within a week or two. Well maintained , a grounds crew was raking all traps while we were there. In my personal top 5 in the Richmond area.

Fairways and greens are in top condition. Nice course for hitting driver. Great golf course.

Independence is one of the best public courses in the area. It's also home to the Virginia State Golf Association. The course is in great shape and the greens are like lighting. Just a great afternoon of golf.

Great everything, never a bad day at Independence.

Got a great deal for me and a buddy. Played on a holiday at 12:50 at a really nice course for $33 each. Course is always in great shape, no complaints.

Independence Golf Club is a great place to play golf.

The course is one of the best in the area and for the money it is the best. It was in great shape and the greens were perfect. Will definitely play it again as soon as possible.

My friends and I loved it. The course was beautiful and the staff was awesome.

I always love this golf course as usual.
One thing i want to mention is how crews in this club are amazing.
A couple days ago I booked a tee time via golfnow.com and played with my friend. Next day morning I realized that I left my watch in the golf cart after round. I called a front desk to know if they hold the watch, and I was able to get it back. I was really appreciated the crews. My watch is not that expensive but it is very valuable to me. Thank you again!

Thankfully, you do not need a 4X4 vehicle to get from greens to tees. This is one of the courses that actually has cart paths in the Richmond area.

This is a great course for those of us long off the tee box. Many of the holes require carrying hazards off the tee box, even if you tee it forward.

Large greens help to get the GIR, and are challenging but not impossible to get a few birdies here and there.

Independence is a great course and it was in very good shape. The greens are in excellent shape. Some of the fairways are having some issues and there are large spots in some fairways (mostly front nine) that are being re-sodded. It was obvious that the issues are very actively being addressed, which is great. Again, overall, the course was in very good shape and it is a challenging but fair layout. BTW - The practice facilities are the best in the area. It was a great day of golf...

I waited along time to play this course. For the discounted Golf Now price it was worth it but, for the regular price of $70 I've played courses in much better shape. The fairways were not good and the rough was maintained well.

Greens and tees were in very good condition. Nice layout with great practice facilities. This is the second time this season that I have played the course and on both occasions the fairways were in very poor condition along with many areas of the rough.

I have always loved this course. Greens are fast and challenging which I love. Only downfall.. It was cart path only in 96 degree weather.

Course was maintained like a $25/round course, not $75/round. Would be a great layout if better taken care of...

Course is extremely overpriced for condition. The fairways and greens need a lot of attention.

Alot of sand but was not in any. Played well enjoyed course.

Nice course visually however several fairways were very sparse, discussed with staff, reason is large quanity of rain without sufficient heat. individual stated that the fairways had been improving over the past few week. There were many workers observed on the course. Greens rolled very well, speed is moderate.

I liked this course because it is in great shape and was challenging yet fair.

I played yesterday on 5/27/13. The golf course is long and challenging. I expected this. The greens were quick and rolled very nice. I expected this. What I did not expect was the condition on the faiways and rough. I'm not sure if there was a disease in the grass or something of that nature. There was ground under repair marked ALL over the place. Many other areas were simply hard pan dirt with no grass at all. $70 for this course is a joke. The driving range and facilities are nice, but not that nice. Stick to Sycamore Creek, Providence, or Hunting Hawk. You'll save $20-$40 and have a similar experience.
