The Golf Club at Mattaponi Springs

I recently had the pleasure of playing at Mattaponi, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! From the moment I arrived, the staff was incredibly welcoming and professional, making check-in and warm-up a breeze.

The course conditions were immaculate—lush fairways, pristine greens rolling true, and well-maintained bunkers. The layout offers a great mix of challenge and playability, catering to all skill levels. Every hole had a unique character, with breathtaking views that added to the overall enjoyment.

The facilities were top-notch, from the well-stocked pro shop to the modern clubhouse with excellent dining options. The practice area was also fantastic, featuring a spacious driving range and well-kept putting greens.

Overall, Mattaponi exceeded my expectations in every way. Whether you’re a seasoned golfer or a weekend warrior, this course is a must-play. I can’t wait to return!

Mattaponi Springs is an awesome course. The zoysia fairways are fantastic and the greens role true. Tee box positions (red, gold, white, blue, black), allow for golf enjoyment for golfers of all skill levels. Recently upgraded to gas carts from battery carts. The newly redesigned clubhouse/grill has enough space for relaxation after a tough round or just to chill out, and the staff is top-notch. I understand they're installing a simulator soon. The Club is conveniently located between the Richmond and Fredericksburg areas.

I have not played a better course. Excellent condition and the staff provide c.great customer service.

This course is fun and challenging at the same time. Lots of elevation changes and shot placement opportunities mean accuracy counts. Rough is fair but best to stay out. Attention to course conditions is evident. Driving range and balls are included with greens fees. Full service kitchen and bar add to the day.

The Golf Club at Mattaponi Springs is hands down one of the best courses I’ve ever played! From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted with top-tier hospitality and a breathtaking course that is immaculately maintained. The layout is both challenging and enjoyable, offering a perfect balance for golfers of all skill levels. The fairways are pristine, the greens roll true, and the scenery is absolutely stunning.

Beyond the course itself, the amenities are fantastic, and the staff goes above and beyond to ensure an exceptional experience. Whether you’re looking for a memorable round with friends or a top-tier golf destination, Mattaponi Springs delivers in every way. I can’t wait to come back! Highly recommend!

PURE GOLF is what they say at Mattaponi, and it's PURE GOLD!!

This course is phenomenal! Even though the undulating zoysia fairways are dormant, they still play like it's a roller coaster in spring. They moved their beautiful new gas carts to the parking lot now, so all I have to do is park, load up, and head to the bar to check in. How easy is that!! And what a bar... they've completely remodeled the bar, and it looks quite nice. The staff there is over the top helpful and always accommodating. What a great experience from beginning to end!

This course is absolutely amazing and challenging for me. Never disappoint how a course should be maintained.

Cart path only bad but understandable. Putting green closed, not sure why. Fairways a bit wet but playable with a decent base of dormant Bermuda grass. Bunkers in good condition. Greens were running ok but whomever cut the holes needs much better training. Almost every hole was popped up around the hole. Certainly make the effective size much smaller when R to L putts turn right at the hole or vice versa. It was pretty obvious the holes were not flattened. Shows a lack of caring. An abundance of blind holes as well as wetland areas that are reachable. There are plaques on the tee boxes with distance but vague where they are measured from. A course map on the card or cart would help and setting up flags right and left at the hazards that can be hit with a range finder would be an inexpensive fix as there was sometimes a big difference in the distance. It is a great course with lots of blind shots and elevation changes but without course knowledge or info, it makes it a slower round and a guess fest.

A group of ladies do a yearly stay and play for a night or two and we absolutely love it there. Everyone is extremely friendly and the service is fabulous. Course conditions have always been very good and the layout is fun with rolling Hills and no homes on the course. We will definitely keep coming back.

Mattaponi Springs is a wonderful golf course. I first played this course 7 years ago and have been a regular player there ever since. The course is a great test of golf on a beautiful property. The staff is friendly and professional and the stay and play feature makes it a great venue for outings. I highly recommend playing Mattaponi Springs golf course.

I play Mattaponi on average about 30 times per year. It is aesthetically pleasing and at the same time very challenging. The finishing holes on both the Front and Back are tough - on #9 don't go pass the sand trap on the right otherwise you'll have a difficult/extreme downhill second into the green protected by a penalty area that has swallowed up many a golf ball. 18 is equally challenging with almost no flat lies - if you are lucky enough to "place" your ball on the "porch" on the left side of the hole you have a relatively easy second shot but anything to the right almost certainly ends up in a downhill lie (although not as severe as #9). My favorite holes are #13, #16 and #17 which all bring water into play. Some of the holes are pretty straightforward but there is danger all around. #6 is about the only hole that is straight from tee box to green and that's followed by the Par 3 #7 - the hole I hate more than any hole on the course. - it's not super long but it is protected by bunkers and if you have a flight pattern of right to left off the tee that big bunker on the left will almost certainly swallow your ball.

The Staff is top-notch and super friendly - the check-in is a breeze. The food is very good and if you ever have event there the food is some of the best that I've ever had following a tournament. They are constantly making improvements. The amenities are nice, clubhouse is very pleasing, and the Bar Staff couldn't be more friendly. Highly recommended.

The Virginia Asphalt Association hosted its Annual Asphalt Open Golf Tournament at the Golf Club at Mattaponi Springs in October 2024, and everything worked out so wonderfully - even the beautiful weather. I'll give credit to John and his staff, haha. Mattaponi is a beautiful, well-kept course with no houses around to be fearful of hitting. Our attendees thoroughly enjoyed the course and overall tournament. We will be hosting our tournament there again this year because of the great feedback and service we received. The VAA gives it a thumbs up. Book your tournament, or even go play at Mattaponi! You won't regret it.
