Round terminated due to weather

I have already stated once that terminating a round of golf on the 11th hole ruins the enjoyment of a full round of golf. Moreover, Golf Now then pro-rated the cost of 7 holes. To me, that’s ridiculous. Golf Now should have at least ori-rated 9 holes considering the golf outing was ruined for me and my three sons due to inclement weather (lightening and light rain)

Weather Ruined Golf

Finished 11 holes with my three sons and the course shut down due to weather. We were having a great golf outing and the termination ruined our golf day. Golf Now pro-rated credit for the 7 holes not played. In my view, pro-rating 7 holes is a poor way to compensate golfers who were interrupted / terminated in the middle of their golf game. That’s why a normal round of golf is set at 18 holes.

Excellent Golf Course and Staff

We played this course last fall and were excited to play it again. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Course was in superb condition and the greens were fast and true. After our round we enjoyed a meal and beverage at Independence Club’s Tavern 19. Very nice menu with a variety of options to choose. Hostess and bartender were very friendly and helpful.

If you are in the Richmond Midlothian area and looking to have a fun day of golf with friends, I highly recommend Independence Golf Club!

Independence

Generally first class operation all around. Great staff, clubhouse, range, layout, fairways. Greens were firm and true; not exceptionally fast. I went on a cart path only day and I would not do that again. Definitely would be better to walk than CPO. There was a beverage cart but the snack shack was closed on a Sunday. A great test of the long game. Thanks to Lester George for the sand trap reduction. Rest assured I was still able to find several of them.

Long walk

The course was fun to play . A long walk from the club house to the first hole and a long walk back to the clubhouse. Not from the area so we weren’t aware of the walking. Good thing we’re in good shape for seniors . lol would recommend to play just be aware of the walking . Oh and the bag carts for walking are available at no cost . Thank God !!!

Nice coursev

The course was very nice and I had a good time playing it. Being a semi-private club it had some nice amenities and the club fitting trailer was very nice.

I would recommend it when in Richmond.

Disappointing for a Saturday.

Course was in great shape from the Mid-Am. Practice facility always in great shape. No bev kart or halfway house open on a beautiful Saturday. If you’re gonna claim to be the tip of the spear and charge $150+ for a round then the spear needs to always be sharp.
