Fun round - avoid the sand

The course is fairly open. Greens are small.

The course didn’t appear to be cut like it may normally set up. Greens were generally slow - not much break. The starter let us know they were scheduled to aerate during the coming week. My guess is the grass length was intentional.

The bunkers are no fun. Plenty of sand - in good shape. They were very fluffy and sometimes heavy. Avoid as much as possible. I usually do not mind bunker shots - these gave me a fit. Marshalls are minding pace of play, but are not pushy.

Hitting driver where you want it is a big plus. Plenty of trees, but not a narrow course. Most holes I hit driver. If you are really long a few holes may make you club down.

Fun and nice looking venue.

Great Course

Strict 90 degree rule means immaculate fairways. Lots of sand, some water, overall decently challenging for a 12 handicap. Greens had just been aerated so I can’t comment on them too much. Overall great layout and condition. Being basically on the side of a mountain there’s a lot of elevation change in the back nine. Pro shop runs a tight ship, the day was nice so wanted to play another 18 but was turned down due to high traffic. Will be back.

great shape now

Played Cacapon aug 11. Best shape I've seen in a few years, and I've played it several times. Greens were perfect. The rest of the course was outstanding.

Great Weather

Really enjoyed my round yesterday. I played as a single behind a foursome but pace was great. The fairways and greens are in great shape. Looking forward to my next round there!

The course is back

Cacapon was a favorite of mine for many years. It has a good layout, wonderful natural beauty and has always been a good value. The course had suffered for a few years from bad management, maintenance and conditions. All those things have bern fixed. The course superintendent has taken an unplayable course and is making it a great one to play again. The bunkers are a work in progress and the fairways could be cut a bit lower ( it had rained for days) but the greens and collars are excellent again. Whoever the new superintendent is.... pay him to keep him.

Great course - would play again for sure

Course was in decent shape, staff was super friendly. Only recommendation would be to pack bug spray, had a few different holes when I wished I had some.

Tight Fairways but great course

This course might seem open for the first few holes. But once you get into the mountains fairways get a bit tighter. But beautiful course & really well taken care of! Had a group of 5 that we eventually caught up too but the ranger split them up into 2 groups which was awesome to see! Greens were great & tough to read (but I'm new to golf lol). I would recommend if anyone hasn't played here to at least go once, you'll love it.
