Super Friendly Staff!

Nice 80+ degree day in March. Had a great time with 3 buddies. Greens were very playable even though they were just aerated earlier in the week. The staff is super friendly and welcoming!

We will be back!

Great Stay and Play

This is one of my favorite courses in the area, truly a hidden gem.

We did the stay and play and I cannot recommend it enough. The cabin was very nice, well kept and accommodating for our group of 10.

The course is in great shape and the layout is very unique. All of the staff I dealt with were first class. John took the time to show me around their newly remodeled clubhouse and answered questions I had about the course. I also had the chance to talk with the owner, Jim, who was a true gentleman.

Overall the course is a must play and a great challenge for any golfer. I look forward to playing it again.

Great course off the beaten path

Mattaponi Springs is a great course for a very reasonable price. The layout is very open and forgiving, but has a number of challenging holes. A beautiful setting in the countryside. And the pace of play is great as well.

Late winter round

Course was aerating the greens. Took a chance on a late winter round with a Golf Now discount. The course superintendent explained some of the improvements his crew has been working on during the winter. Had a great time. Looking forward to seeing how the course grows out this spring.

Decent course

This course has potential to be really nice. The course layout is actually amazing and the views are really nice. However, the condition of the course was sub par. I know it is winter but if you’re gonna charge $75 a round the conditions need to be better. The tee boxes are fine. Lots of poa annua all over the fairways and the grass is super long. The greens were not terrible but not great. Rolled true but many burnt spots as well as sandy pots all over some greens. Probably won’t be back.

Best course around!

My favorite course within 50 miles. Love the layout, variability in distance (par-3’s range from 115 to 235 from the blues, and par-4’s are drivable or long-iron-in), and the fairways and greens are immaculate.

The staff is super friendly and the new GM takes care of business. The clubhouse is country club level, with food to match. They’re also having a new state-of-the-art simulator built in the clubhouse for the 2025 season.

It is likely a bit of a drive for most people, but absolutely worth it! I play out there as often as I can.

Outstanding Golf Experience

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!

Mattiponi

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.

Friendly staff and challenging course.

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.
