2/9/2004

This is a private country club in Fauquier County VA. The golf course was built in the 1950’s and hasn’t changed much, if at all. The fairways are mostly zoysia and dormant when I played on 2/9. The 18th hole, a par 5, runs parallel to the Rappanock river and is occasionally closed or reduced to a par 3 due to flooding. The golf course is hilly. I would like to play it again later in the season, when it is in peak condition. It is definitely worth a round or two.

Great course

Course is great as always, only issue I had was either course didn’t inform Golf Now or Golf Now didn’t inform me about my 1pm tee time and carts due back at 3pm due to New Years Eve. Only able to get in 10 holes. Course informed me this is what happens when you select a “ Hot Deal”

Beautiful Golf Day

I used my GOLFNOW credit to book a hot deal for 1pm. Friendly staff after signing in and recommended me play with a twosome that was familiar with the course. After 2 holes I parted ways and really enjoyed the layout of the course using my golf logic app to plan how to play the course. No one in front or behind me. Really nice elevations on certain holes (hole 1, 2,4, 5, 7 , 11, 15,) and a challlenging hole 16 par 5 over entrance( so wait for cars). Open course and challenging to play and hope they open up more slots on GOLFNOW.

Tired

First time playing this course. It was winter golf. The clubhouse staff were friendly but didn’t tell us where the driving range was. Spent time searching and missed out warming up. Course was not in Private course shape. Divots unrepaired and course conditions spotty for private course. Layout was fun challenging. Spent time in clubhouse after round. Nice people. Seemed desperate. Website states 400 members. Club member told us 200 so they are desperate for revenue. Poor management of club has caused issue. Hate to see hackers chew up this course. Sad really

Not what I Expected

Fauquire Springs may be a private country club but that doesn’t make it better. At check in I told the attendant that I had a 1:40 tee time paid on line. He told me the 1:00 tee time on Golf Now was the $43 on line rate and told me I had to pay him $50. I showed him the email on my phone, and he argued. Another golfer came in and supported me. He paid on line for my tee time as well. After a couple minutes of ranting, the attendant acquiesced and gave us a cart key. The course was in average condition with EXTREMELY slow greens. The rough was very inconsistent, with various types of grass and weeds. Balls in the rough gave very different lies - ball sits down, sits low with an inch of cushion underneath or sits up with 2 inches of fluffy rough below. My golf partner was a very low handicap golfer. He agreed that the rough was extremely inconsistent. My view - Fauquire Springs reminded me of Montclair GC on steroids or the closed General’s Ridge without the fun!

Don’t hit in the rough and you will have nothing to complain about.

If you are going to complain about the place at least spell the name of it right!

Obviously Not Wanted There

It was evident from the moment we checked in that we were not welcome. Either because we were NOT members or because we paid a reduced rate through Tee-Off. We drove 60 miles but arrived at 12;00 for a 1PM tee time. Were told we could NOT go off early (understandably). Exact words "No 1 O'clock". After sitting by #1 for 30 minutes with nobody teeing off. I decided to get a beer and enjoy the rest of the wait. Once inside the pro-shop I was asked "Now What". Enjoyed the course layout, elevation changes and pace of play. I made it a point to return to the pro-shop and thank them. I would not recommend.

Great course

Very interesting, picturesque and enjoyable mountain-type layout. Many elevated greens to keep your short game sharp. Greens not pristine, but they ran fairly true. One of the members complained that he couldn’t bring a guest for as little as we paid, and that was certainly true. The $43 Hot Deal was an absolute steal. And did I mention that we played in 4 hours flat? Would definitely play this course again.

Great conditions

Course is in great condition and even better considering the lack of rain we have had recently. Great course and friendly staff. Course is private club, which makes it a great deal for the money considering you can’t usually play without a member present.

Good course

Course was in pretty nice shape, and there was no waiting. You can leave your driver in the bag on all but about 4 holes if desired. Nice layout, not too challenging but just enough.

Favorite Course in the area

I wrote this after seeing some guy's review from a week or so prior. This course has some of the friendliest people working for it anywhere, the course itself is in great shape, a round anytime out there is well less than 4 hours, it is very cheap to play there and the food in the clubhouse is better than what you get at most restaurants... Postage stamp green with slope on them make this a great course to go to if you decide you want to play today and get a quick round in. Try that anywhere else in Gainesville, Haymarket or Centreville and you will likely spend more time waiting to hit a shot than to drive out and have a round where you feel like you own the course. You will also spend far less here. Please fix your ball marks and put sand in your divots, this is a Private Course...

Great Hidden Gem Course

Enjoyed the friendly staff, course layout and associated challenges. Will definitely return with golfing mates to play again in the fall or spring.
