Nestled in the foothills of the Catoctin Mountains about 15 minutes from Fredricksburg, Glade Valley Golf Club has been selected as a top-100 golf course in the Mid-Atlantic region by Washington Golf Monthly. The Jim Reck design, which opened in 1990, has a nice mix of woods, water, natural habitat and sand traps that will test golfers, but the golf course isn't overly difficult.

Glade Valley

With the changing fall weather the course was still in good shape. There was the normal bare spots and most of the leaves were cleared from the greens as well as most of the fairways.

Nice course for the price

The fairways were not in the best shape, but I have to give the course a pass on some of that. It looks like they've been doing the best they can given recent weather patterns. I would play this course again. Friendly staff, not much in the way of a clubhouse and there was no refreshment cart on the course. But for $38.00 bucks how much can you expect. The course was not very challenging but it was a nice day out.

Great Value

With the rain this fall, the course was in ok condition. 1 and 18 might have been mowed a little. Made finding your ball difficult in the fairway. Green were a bit slow but in really great shape.

Overall a good value for the money.

Should have kept closed

Course conditions were very bad, water all over. Finding ball on fairways was a challenge, forget about non fairways grass. Greens were ok.

Great value overall but course was in bad shape

Can’t beat the price for the hot deal but the fairways and tee boxes hadn’t been cut in weeks. A standard tee barely put the ball above the grass line. Greens were in good shape considering the rest of the course.

An "Old Standby" To Play

This is one of our usual courses to play, because it's easy to book a tee time, is reasonably priced, and typically in good shape. I haven't been here this year, though, and I was a little surprised by the conditions. The fairway was really long and "hairy," as were the tee boxes. It didn't look like it had been cut, although Jim (the Pro) was acting as Starter and told us he had aerated the fairways last week so I guess was letting them grow. The greens, though, were in good shape and rolling pretty true. My issue today was pace of play. We had played 3 hrs and 20 minutes and had just finished hole #12! This is entirely too slow for this course, because there's not a lot of trouble--just really poor players in front of us. And, there was no marshal. I called in to the Pro Shop while on the back and Jim came out, but prior to that we saw no one monitoring pace of play. Jim did speak with several groups and the pace picked up a tad, which we appreciate. However, the damage to my game (in waiting every shot) was already done.

Great Layout but No Marshals; Pace of Play Horrendous

Took our threesome 4.5 hours to play 18 holes. Waited on every shot. Group in front of us had at least two holes in front of them. Why are there no marshals on the course on a Friday. Will come back but will mention the pace of play when I check in.
