Beautiful day. Greens bumpy.

Great course but slow moving couple in front of us kept us waiting all day.

Course in good shape except for greens. Aerated recently and not watered enough.

Should be better in a couple of weeks. Lack of rain not helping.

This course was great. Lots of challenging holes and reachable par threes. If you find a Hot Deal, this is a perfect place to play.

Great Value & Great Views

This course was a great time. While off the beaten path I’ll definitely be back. Staff was extremely friendly. Course was in pretty good shape for this early in the year. Greens were punched but playable. The elevation changes and blind shots provide a good test but a fair test. Nice green complexes and some devious pin positions. All in all a great time.

Bit early in year for this course

Driving range poor. Range balls look like really bad woods found balls. Hitting off mats

Greens aerated large pull holes. Lots of sand

No mention at checkin or online

No discounts for aeration

Fairways not in yet. Will be better later

Rough not in yet.

My yard is beautiful compared to this

9 and 18 need work on Creek fronting greens to bring beauty to these holes

Not at all worth the money right now

One of the best in the area!

Played here on March 28, and the course was in excellent condition! The staff was phenomenal, and the pace of play was excellent. This was my second time playing here, and it has become one of my favorite courses in the area! Definitely worth the value!

Best Course in Virginia

This is the best course in Virginia and I live in Williamsburg. Everything from layout, to shape of greens, fairways and bunkers-all excellent condition. Most beautiful and serene views. Pine trees are gorgeous. Clubhouse amenities and food are all excellent. Must visit for anyone that loves golf!

Beautiful day

Course was in good shape. Be even better in a couple of weeks. Played in less than four hours but still had two guys hitting up on us most of the day and a single snuck out ahead of us . Great layout with multiple changes in elevation. Could have blown greens clear a bit better but in pretty good shape considering the cold wet winter.

Zoysia fairways & smooth greens made our round very playable after the extreme winter conditions we’ve had the last four weeks. Great course!

I’ll be back!

First time playing this course. A couple of people mentioned this was a great course to play and were they correct! My buddies and I were in simple awe of Mattaponi Springs. Great layout, course condition, staff friendliness, etc. The only slight drawback was there was not much to offer in the golf shop, but understand there are possible renovations occurring. Also, the kitchen closed at 5pm, so was not able to grab a bite after the round. Other than that, was quite pleased with MS. I will be back!!
