Glade Valley Golf Club
About
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.

Sunday Afternoon 🤬
Very strict rules on bringing beverages to the course. Beware. Starter will check your cooler. Next strict rule. Carts have to be returned by 5pm. They did extend it to 520 but you’ll never get a 4 hr round in at this course. Took 3 hrs to play 12 holes. Waited on every tee box, waited in every fairway. Finally gave up on hole 12.
Overall, despite all the rules the staff was pleasant, course was in great shape for November Not a difficult course. Just make sure you tee off in the morning if you want to play 18.
Good Course, But Slow
The course is fun and it has a decent layout of short and long holes with a few bends. There is not a lot of danger, so you don't have to worry about that. My main issue with the course is with the pace of play and their 6pm return the cart rule. I appreciate, just like everyone else, the ability to tee off with just your buddy. But when the course is playing slow - they need to enforce pairing twosomes with other twosomes and singles with other singles or pairs. It will greatly improve the pace of play. Finally, returning the carts by 6pm is ridiculous. Maybe it's just me, but I have not played any other course that requires it before sunset. I know employees want to get home, but I pay for the cart for 18 holes. Discount the rate of the cart if you want me to bring it back when I am on the 15th hole. One other thing quickly: I rated the value for money 2 stars. If you don't get this as a Hot Deal on golfnow, it's not worth the price. Same with a lot of the other courses around here. I don't know if it's inflation, the new GPS systems on the carts or what, but their prices are getting way too much for the overall conditions of the course (fairways, greens, bunkers, pace of play, carts, etc.).
Some fairways a bunkers had puddles of water and it has not rained for 2 weeks. Probably over watering.
Not as good as it once was -TK
Played earlier in the year and it was well maintained. This time the bunkers were not raked or kept up and the fairways and greens were not mowed. Maybe just caught them at a bad time but still would go back for the golfnow hot deal rate.
Glade Valley
The course is in good shape considering the cooler weather and little rain. The greens were very fast.
There was slow play due to an outting.
Solid course great gps
Love this course. Cheapest course around and has gps on cart that is incredibly accurate. Great value for the money
This course is generally in better condition. I guess you might be able to blame it on all the rain we had two weeks ago but it has been pretty nice the past week. So, the fairways shouldn't have had clumps of grass all over the place and length of the fairway grass was different all along the fairways. Someplaces, not quit but almost as long as the rough. The greens were Ok though.
Wouldn't recommend this course in the condition it was yesterday but played twice earlier this year and the maintenance on the course was much better
Great course
Some greens have a lot of slope
overall great course and they keep it in good shape
