There wasno drinking water anywhere in the course. This us totally unacceptable and is the exception to other alternative courses in the area such as twin lakes, herndon and reston.

No food at 8 am

Excellent conditions for a public course. Fantastic greens.. One of the best in NOVA. But no food until 8:30 on a Friday?

Another nice day playing golf

The course specially the greens were great. Tee boxes need some TLC. Weather held up and played with very friendly folks in my group. Will be back.

Great Value

Had a great round on a perfect weather day in August. Greens are in great shape. Only issue I see is with drainage if it rains.

No Golf Carts Available on a Sunday

Arrived approximately 45 mins before we were supposed to tee off and was informed by the pro shop they did not have enough golf carts and that we should return closer to our tee time to get setup. Fast forward to 10 minutes before we are supposed to tee off, and the group that was supposed to tee off 10 minutes ahead of our group was still waiting at the pro shop for carts throwing the whole round starting time off for everyone. Rare to see a course operating without a starter on a weekend but clear to see why it's important that you do, I would not return to this course on a weekend.

Great Course

This course was amazing. A wonderful hidden gem. The course was challenging and beautifully maintained. Also on a side note, the best golf course food I’ve ever had. Great staff and course!

Walked

Great Value Play

While the course was cart path only, I was walking so that didn't impact me too much. Sad for those cart people, fairways were soaked, either due to recent rain or someone forgot to turn off the irrigation. It was very wet. Greens were therefore very soft, making them very approachable. For the money, I don't think there is another NOVA course that compares.

Solid public course

For what you pay, this course is great. While not a long or super challenging course, it is perfect for a fun/casual round. I would say though that pace of play on the weekend is not great. There is no ranger and there were times in which pace of play was unacceptable. If you care about pace of play, I would only go here during weekdays.

5 Long Hours

Stuck behind 4 golfers who should have been playing a par 3 course, given their ability level. Why would these golfers be in a tournament given their skill level is beyond me…
Most golfers walk this course so the pace of play can be really slow…
I won’t be back…

Old style course, fun to play

Tree lined, old style layout course that will allow you to score low due to it's fairly short length and modest trouble spots. The course is in good condition and is flat enough to make it a good walking tract. Many holes feature fairways lined with mature trees and the houses that are on the course are well set back so as not to spoil the old style feel. I shot a comfortable 77 off the "blues" but I think I'll try the tips next time to make it a tougher challenge. You will enjoy it.
