July 2025

Played immediately after a substantial downpour. Course drained amazingly well. Greens were a bit soft but had no standing water. Putts still rolled well. Some damp spots in the fairways. Just a little water collected in front of the green on 15. The staff were friendly and professional.

Fun course to play

Very challenging course. Great conditions tee to green. Very good practice area. Rolling fairways, sloped dog legs, up hill tee shots, a split fairway. I can't wait to play Mattaponi again. Very nice lady at check in. Met Andrew and a gentleman giving lessons who was very nice.

Beautiful and Challenging Course!

My son and I played Mattaponi Springs on Saturday, June 28th. It was very hot day. We played at 11:21 and were paired up with a wonderful single of similar skill as us. Other than the heat the day, the course and the fellowship was A+. Course conditions were superb. The elevation changes really set Mattaponi apart from many other courses in south central Va. The rough was fair but a ball in the woods was very punishing as the undergrowth is in full force. I could not recommend this course enough!

Hidden Gem

Course is a little off the beaten path, great design well taken care of, I'm not saying it's inexpensive but I don't think there's a course better at this price range. I would compare it to Potomac shores golf club $30 cheaper. Similar price range as Pendleton, I personally just enjoy it more.

Top notch club

I love coming to this track. From the range to the clubhouse it feels like a country club. Even though I'm not a member you feel like one and the staff treats you like one.

Everyone needs to experience Mattaponi Springs

Mattaponi Springs is one of the best courses I have ever experienced. The condition of the course was on a top tier level. Staff were very helpful and inviting. The only complaint that I have about the course is that I don’t live closer, but clearly that’s a me problem…. Take the time to experience this course, you won’t regret it….

Too many bugs and beat up greens

Played 18 with my son for his birthday and the fairways and tee boxes were in decent shape. However, many of the greens had major dry/dirt patches and the water hazards were stagnant puddles so the bugs/gnats were far worse than I’ve seen in VA anywhere. Probably won’t go back.
