Nice layout

Like the course layout. Fairway bunkers make for a few challenging holes but still enjoyable.

Definitely Will Return

Played the course on a rainy weekday. The course performed really well considering all the rain and did not have places with standing water that can make it not fun to play. I liked the layout and terrain changes. The course was challenging, yet fun. Every hole was different.

The staff we came in contact with we're very nice. We also enjoyed our meal at the clubhouse after the round.

I would not try to walk this course due to the long distances between holes.

Definitely will return.

5 hour 20 minute round

Round took way too long to play ( 5 hours 20 min). Marshall did come out but nothing changed. For the price of $69 the course was in good condition but can’t get food on the course (should accommodate if the round takes that long) . For a very nice course layout and conditions I don’t know if they will attract more business because of how slow the pace of play is. Would have liked for the staff to do something to remedy this.

Perfect weather
Used cart

Cart path only

Played this course often recently and continue to be irritated by the cart path only rules, regardless of weather. Course says work on fairways improvement is the cause but little of that seen. Walking isn't possible because of some massive distances between holes.

Staff is pleasant; parking lot needs to be expanded.

So good...So inconsistent

I’ve played this course a couple of dozen times since it opened. I LOVE this course. It has it all...fairness and challenge, elevation change, risk/reward, scenery, awesome clubhouse experience and a (mostly) reasonable price point. But man..so inconsistent. Every time there is something missing, something changing, something out of order or something disappointing. Now, this won’t stop me from playing because I love the course that much. I will come more if the experience is more consistent. It’s a course with great potential but right now, it’s just pretty good!

Need better yardage markers.

A few more yardage markers either on the cart path or in the fairways would be appreciated

Not worth the money right now

The layoutr of the course does not allow you to come back to the clubhouse at any point. Bring food if you want to have something to eat, as the grill does not open on Sundays until after 10 o’clock. The staff said that there would be food on the cart but it was only a granola bars. Fairways and greens were in great shape, but the rough was a disaster. I won’t play again until the course is in better shape.

Nice layout, but rough was rough

I love the layout of this course. Fairways and greens in good shape, but rough and tee boxes were in terrible shape. They are working on rough with over-seeding, but it's going to take a lot of time. It's a shame because this could be a great tract.

Fun course with some forgiveness

Good course. Only real complaint I have is the tee-boxes need some work. They are small and muddy. The fairways were generous and the greens rolled well (speed was 7-8). The layout was challenging but fun. Worth checking out if you live in NOVA or are visiting.

Beautiful Course, Terrible Customer Service

First things first. This course is beautiful. It's certainly in the top 5 I've played in terms of visuals. Not just surrounding beauty as you can get with mountain courses, but the course layout itself. It was also a very challenging course. Especially playing from the Gold box. If you don't have a 260+ drive in your bag, then bump up to silver.

Fairways are in really good condition. Greens are mostly in good condition but they are peppered with divots that neither previous players nor greens staff ever fixed. Tee boxes are in rough shape, but you can tell they are working on it. And they didn't really factor in. You can still find good footing and that's all that really matters.

The real disappointment was the first 30 minutes. I was playing as a single with a 3 group and had asked ahead of time if I could have my own cart due to COVID-19 concerns. I was told yes. When I arrived, the pro-shop echoed that and told me I could ride solo. From there I went to the starter where I encountered what has to be the rudest starter/marshall I've ever experienced. First, as I pulled up another cart was coming towards me the wrong direction, so I pulled off the side to let him by. He stopped and told me "get that cart back on the path". That was the starter. Then when I made my way to the range, I was first hitting some leftover balls before breaking into my bag and he promptly came over and told me I couldn't hit the extra balls and could only hit mine. He promptly scooped up all the leftovers. Finally, when I and the threesome I was paired with headed out to the first tee, he stopped us and told us that that the two of us in carts riding solo had to combine. I and the other golfer protested. We let him know we didn't know each other, didn't' come together, and had been told by the pro-shop we could ride together. We again protested and expressed concerns about COVID019. He said he didn't care and they didn't have enough carts to outfit all the golfers and that if we wanted to play we had to combine carts. We ultimately agreed, but it was an uncomfortable experience for a while. It was pretty shocking to have a starter at such a nice course treat us that way and to readily admit that cart availability was more important than human safety. That experience alone would give me pause about recommending this course to anyone else flying solo. But, because the course layout is so nice, it's still worth it. Just hope this track can upgrade their customer experience people.
