Nice Layout

Fairways and greens were in top shape. The bluegrass and fescue rough had been hit by disease caused by the heat and moisture of the summer. The course will be great once the rough gets sorted.

Hidden gem in Virginia

Best course that I've experienced in Virginia so far. Great views. Challenging holes. And delighted to find out that it is Troon managed to be able to use my Troon card. Greens are kept in great condition rolling at a 9-10. Fairways were well kept. When it doubt, play safe off the tee as O.B. is legit on many of the holes.

Great views, challenges. Was just overseeded.

We had given up on finding decent golf in Virginia, but was recommended by others to play this course. We were very pleasantly surprised. There are a lot of construction areas around the course with new development, but the course itself (a Troon managed course) was in great shape for September play. The fairways and tee boxes were held up. Great views. Lots of ravines. Challenging greens. Better than the "flat land" golf I had been experiencing in Virginia. Only gripe was that they just "scattered" mulch in the rough around the fairways and greens making it a little muddy and smelly at times.

Excellent Course

Highly recommend this course and my wife which is not a long driver of the ball had a great time. Course conditions were outstanding with a great staff. A long course for the walkers, the distance between Hole 1 and 2 was not a short cart ride.. One of the best courses I've played in Northern VA and we'll be back.

Tip - Don't go long on the back 9.

Great course, except...

This is a great course with one big issue.

The course is in very good shape. Most of the problems with the grass on the course are areas in the rough, so that's not a major concern. The course gets a little extra soggy after rain so drainage is a bit of an issue. Great tees, great fairways, and great greens. There are many blind first shots, which is fine with me. The practice area is fantastic. The clubhouse is gorgeous. The restaurant is amazing. The cost is premium and a bit high for the value.

The big negative is the carts. This is a very spread out course with many hills between holes. Unfortunately their electric carts cannot keep up with the demand. In each of my last 3 rounds there (over maybe a 6 month period) my cart has died during the round. You know what a pain that is. My playing partners' cart also died. The we passed another golfer sitting and waiting for the staff to bring his new cart. Unacceptable at that cost. I'm not going back for a while until the can get those carts repaired or replaced.

Beautiful Course

The condition of the course was immaculate, and and a joy to play. Having ice machines are a brilliant feature especially on a hot day like today.

Short and tight but well maintained

We played the silver tees and while it was a bit shorter than what I'm used to (played ~5,900 yards) I stilled enjoyed the round and some of the unique shots that Jack has you make. It was my first time playing here and this is one of those tracks that you definitely need to play a couple of times to start scoring well. I'm excited to play it again.

Quick morning round

Went off @ 7:30 am, played in under 4 hours. Could have been quicker as we waited a bit on the 3-some in front of us, but nothing to complain about. Course is in great shape, but the greens were a bit slow, which was disappointing.

Always enjoy playing here. Will be back.

Wow is all.

From the first tee starter AJ, everything about this course was A+. The facilities, the practice area, the tee boxes; I found a hard time finding anything wrong with my round except for the fact it’s a very challenging course. Did not have a flat lie all day, hills for days. Must play if you’re in the area.

Fairways and greens were immaculate even after small punching
