Reviews
Great conditions and a fun course to play
Course was in great shape tee to green. Rough will swallow your ball. Wide fairways to hit into. Greens were very fast and smooth. They punched 2 weeks ago but were very playable. Would play again.
5 stars good greens
Course is open and fair the rough can be challenging green side. I wish they would put markers for the back tees but the greens are 5 stars rolling perfectly if you can’t make putts here is completely your fault. Good course
Independence 9/2026
As always, staff is excellent and course is well kept. Expensive and worth it.
Great Course
Not big on par 3 courses but this one is definitely fun to play. Great customer service. A few tee boxes need some help but overall a great experience.
Beautiful Par 3 - First two holes need to be adjusted
I liked everything about this course with the exception of the first two holes. You must be able to hit about 100 yards in air or your ball will be lost in a grassy marsh. Par 3 courses are ideal for women, children, and those learning the game. The first two holes are unforgiving and many balls are lost there. I believe this is a walking course only, but they do provide free pull carts. It's also a 10 minute walk from the Clubhouse to get to hole 1.
Fails to disappoint
Absolutely love this track. Greens are phenomenal and manicured to perfection. Pace of play is great- even on the quicker side for weekend golf. Highly recommended.
Way overpriced!
The course was in great shape, and Independence remains one of the nicer public courses in Richmond. That said, $160 for a Monday midday round is difficult to justify. Despite the premium pricing, the pace of play was disappointing, with backups on several holes and extended waits until a slow group finally let players through. On a hot and humid day, having only one water station available was another drawback.
Great Course
My first time at Independence was great. Friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful course. Members were also friendly. Looking forward to playing again.
Beautiful course
Overall it was great. It was my first time playing here. My only complaint was that they had sanded the greens although they had not been punched yet. I assume they do this right before punching but not sure. The greens still rolled pretty well but were super fast because of the sand. I like fast greens but these were faster than they should be. But, that is a small complaint and obviously not the norm. I do think the price is too high but it is what it is. If you can afford it, it’s an amazing course.
Nice Layout
Nice Course Layout.
The greens and fairways were gorgeous.
Amenities were top-notch. Try the Quill Ale and the Chicken Caesar wrap.
Pace of play was good. There was a 5 in front of us and then a 2-2-4 all within a few minutes of each other. Finished at 4 hr on dot.
This was the most challenging course in the area I've played besides Royal New Kent. Definitely showed me a few new weak links in my game.
Great Par 3
Nice setup and well maintained course. Will be returning.
Excellent short-game practice!
Walked the short course on a hot Sunday and it couldnt have been a better way to practice approach, chipping and putting. Course is in great shape.
Real deal
Independence was a pleasant surprise. Would absolutely recommend. Nice practice facility too. 6700 yards from the blues. Overall the course was in very good condition. The only exception being a few of the greens had some turf replaced in spots. This place is worth playing
