Course great, carts not

Great course in solid shape for winter. Greens were firm but slower than usual. Pace was fantastic, 4 hours on a Saturday.

Third round in a row that the course golf cart died. This round not only did it die but had a flat tire. 3 for 3. High end course with premium cost you would think management would rectify this quickly. Big negative on the round.

Challenging

The front is easier than the back. Back seems to have more bunkers, less flat land and just more challenging. It’s a nice track and not boring. Today was cart path only. The problem is from the cart path, because of the ridges and elevation changes it’s tough to spot your ball.

First time and I’ll be back

Got a hot deal the day after Christmas. Was between 20/30 degrees so they delayed our tee time from 1020 to 1140. The staff informed us when we got there they sent out an email but unfortunately I did not get it so came at my original time. Only negative of the day.

Best practice green I have played on. Most are flat but this course had a challenging practice green which help translate to the course. Driving range and chipping was also nice.

The course itself was awesome. Missed a few fairways but the fairways were cleaned so I was able to find balls. Other courses I have been have not cleaned rough so if you missed fairway your ball was gone. Food was also good and reasonably priced. Will defiantly be back.

Terrible staff

Absolutely horrible staff. First I couldn’t even get a water. The guy at the bar sent me to the concession place downstairs which was closed. I told him it was closed and if he can just serve me and he said no. Then I asked well when will someone come in to open the concession stand? He said “uhhh idk” so much help. Then it rains so I go in after 8 holes and ask for a rain check. The guy in the pro shop said “yeah we can’t give you one cause you booked with golf now.” He said I’d have to call golf now and get my money back. This place is a joke screw this course I’ll never be back here again.

Great course - horrible pin positions

Course was exceptional, to bad they can't get players to fix ball marks on greens.

Pin positions today we're stupid to ridiculous. Not favorable to average or accelerated golfer. Made for a working round of golf. It was Monday not a Saturday/Sunday tournament day.

Played for 24 bucks!

I mean, a course this beautiful for 24 bucks? You can beat it. I’d pay their full price to play there any time. The staff was great and helped me out with a driver since mine is with Ping being repaired. Met some fellow Golf Nowers and we had a damm good time. Highly recommend.

Never again on Magnolia Green

The Golf course was in excellent condition from tee to green. Staff was friendly and helpful. Both in the restaurant, shop and at the starter. The layout was poor with too many hidden holes. It was not well marked where there were bells and not. They provide a course guide. You will need it, so don't drop it! The pace was slow. We waited on every single shot. 4.45 hours in total. I was on the green ready to put having my stans when a ball from the team behind rolled on to the green. When you hit a good shot in the center of fairway you shall not be punished to find it in a sandtrap or in the ruff on one side if the fairway have a slope from side to side. The course guide do not indicate angled fairways. Sandtraps shall be of preventative nature and catch misdirected shots to increase the pace and not to slow down the play. The Architect who created the course did not have his best day! I had expected a beautiful course but it was also disappointing.

I've played in the Richmond area all my life and I can honestly say that you are dead wrong about this course. There's a reason why it was rated top 10 best new courses by Golf Digest in 2015. Whether you played in 4 hours and 27 minutes or 4 hours and 45 minutes (it's hard to tell from your comment) pace of play for Magnolia Green is 4 hours and 45 minutes. It's clearly marked in multiple places on the golf course. So you didn't play slow, you just wanted to complain because you had to wait on a group in front of you. Also, Magnolia Green is one of the few courses that actually give you a yardage card along with your scorecard. Most places charge you for a yardage book. Furthermore, if a bunker is in the middle of the fairway, don't hit it there (easier said than done). If you hit your tee shot in a bunker off the tee it isn't a good shot. Nicklaus Design (Course Designer) is known for adding fairway bunkers and undulating fairways to add a degree of difficulty to their golf courses. If you were concerned about blind shots it sounds like you had ample time to survey your upcoming shot because of all the "waiting" you had to do so there's no excuse. It sounds like you didn't have your* best day and just wanted to complain and blame it on the golf course.

Tough course so be ready

If you enjoy a tough course, this one will be god for you. For a public course it was in good shape with the greens chewed up as golfers don't fix their pitch marks. But fairways and tee boxes were fine.

Great conditions

Played here for a 3:10 Friday afternoon round for $54. This is one of my favorite courses in the RVA area. I'm a 17 handicap, so not very good, but this course is a challenge for everyone that plays and is in GREAT shape right now. Greens aren't fast/slow i would consider them medium tempo, course fairways and rough are green but dry so bounce and roll is going to happen on most holes. Highly recommend you play here and for that rate for an afternoon round - its hard to beat.
