Course - so so. Staff - awful with one exception

When we first arrived and went to pay the experience with the young man at the desk was enough to make me turn around and leave but most certainly enough that I would not want to return. His disinterest in assisting patrons was amazing even as the line grew outside of the window where they take payment. The starter however was wonderful and she was extremely helpful. The course was what I expected in the middle of aeration season. This is just a fun little course to play if you are down and the lake and want to get out. Served its purpose. With limited choices in the area do yourself a favor and avoid this one.

Bang for your Buck

This is a great course for the price. I have played other course in VA for more money and they are not even close to being in the shape this one is. The layout was very nice as well.

Absolutely amazing! A surprise gem!

Absolutely amazing! A surprise gem! I lucked into playing this course today. It was truly amazing. I enjoyed this course more than any other course this year. Every hole was unique, very well taken care of, and a joy to play. I give this course the highest marks on all categories. If you have the opportunity to play here, it is by far one of the best courses you’ll find in the area.

A Beautiful Day at LOW

The other guys who had signed up for the 11:14 tee time didn't show so I ended up playing alone. I have played LOW quite a few times and find it challenging and well manicured. Today was no exception. I played in just over three hours and had an enjoyable round!

Great amenities and quality up-keep.

Club and ball cleaners built into the carts.. I mean wow. I'm new to the game, but the little details transpire greatness in all things. I will play this course again soon.

Nice neighborhood course

The course was truly in decent shape for mid August! The most forward tees make the course very playable for beginners or youngsters. Houses line most fairways so if you spray the ball you might be in trouble. We played the front quickly but at the turn we were behind TWO sets of 5 players who had no desire to let my friend and me play through.. We chose to replay the front rather than waste 3 hours being annoyed. We did really enjoy ourselves and hope to play all 18 holes next time.
