Greens need work

Greens needed some work on the par 3 course but Free range balls with your round so it made for a good value. Pro-shop Staff was very friendly. Drinks/Amenities by the range seemed pretty dope.

The course is all about long drives & 2nd shots, no finesse needed! Very wide fairways and super large greens.

Pricey

$130 during the week is why I only play here maybe once a year. Greens are fast and firm. Just can’t get over the price. It’s a great course just too expensive for me. New vendor working the snack bar - no hot dogs. Who eats wings while playing golf at the turn? Ordered a Buffalo chicken wrap, it was chicken salad w Texas Pete wrapped in a tortilla for $12.

Fantastic public course in the Richmond area

I thoroughly enjoyed playing Independence this past Friday. I had heard a lot of good things from friends about the course and for $129, I admittedly had high expectations. I'm happy to report that Independence and its staff exceeded my expectations and made me want to come back again and again! Even with the crappy weather and it being so early in the season, the course was in excellent condition. Very fair and very fun track. The staff went above and beyond - from the folks at the bar/grille, to the gentleman that checked us in, to the super friendly on-course beverage girl. Facilities are top notch and everything was a wonderful experience. This was easily one my favorite golf outings in the Richmond area and I shot a great score too!

Greens are some of the best in Virginia! Always roll fast and true. The rest of the course was in great shape.

The “Bear”

Very enjoyable par 3 experience. Pretty significant forced carries for a par 3. Back tees will challenge the average player on certain holes. Experimental greens can be a little distracting depending on pin placement - lots of marking paint on some greens for the testing of grasses. A very good walk and good test of short game. Staff was A+.

Excellent Course !

The pace of play is very slow. That should be reviewed by management.

From NY

So first off, mid 90’s handicap. That said let’s start with the staff. Absolutely first class, friendly amenable and helpful. Driving range very nice. The course will keep you honest, stay in the fairways or make sure you have very accurate spotters in your group. The rough is thick but very fair. Kind of have to step on your ball to find it but I played as a single. Greens fast, undulating, wide. Overall 4.5 only because of the cost. Otherwise if you’re in this area it’s the first place you should play! Highly recommended

Best public course in Richmond Metro

By far the best public course in Richmond Metro, but might even be best public in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

WOW! Love it!

Wonderful time! Course layout is very nice. Walkable.

Greens were very firm and fast. Took a while to get used to them.

Nicest carts I've ever seen. Staff very friendly and range is fun.

The "car girl" is a bit over the top. Very strange seeing a Lexus drive by on the cart path with food/drinks.

If it wasn't for the price, I'd play it more often. Over $100 is a bit out of my normal range; this was a gift.

I highly recommend playing it at least once when in RVA. You'll love it!

Greens need help - not normal

I’ve played IGC many times. The greens were the best in Richmond. However something is going on and they look diseased and need help. Also looks like they are not mowing the rough? Something was off about the day I went. I hope they get this straight because I love Indy.
