To say this course is a scam would be an understatement.
This course is a “Youth Development” course and it plays only about 4600yds from the tips. $51 dollars for a tee time here is INSANE considering the deplorable conditions of this golf course. I am shocked I’ve played way better actual courses for $15 cheaper than this.
Some areas of this course look it’s just been nuked and left alone. I’m not sure if they are attempting to renovate but it looks pretty horrible and it’s honestly one of the worst courses I’ve ever played in central VA as far as conditions go. There are so many bare areas including tee boxes and cart paths are pretty broken down as well.
Considering the $51 tee time, no course amenities (no cart girl, no grill or “turn” snack bar etc..) and the laughable conditions, I won’t be returning here anytime soon. I hope they can get it together soon before all hope is lost. I’d be really impressed if they can somehow turn it around.
I’m giving it two stars because the only good thing was staff friendliness.

I like this course, the long narrow fairways reward clean shots and the dense wooded areas with deep leaf debris guarantee you will lose your ball if you shoot into them. 18 holes here is a nice hike on foot, takes about 4 hours to play. Nothing too exciting to look at and the grounds are pretty brown and not in the best shape but the greens are good which is what matters to me. For the price it's a great round of golf. Pace of play and etiquette can be an issue here but you learn to deal with it, I have had people start early and play into me, and have had to sit on a tee and wait for 10 min while a group of 5 was put ahead of me with basically no spacing in the tee time.

This course charging almost $60 for 18 holes riding is absolutely bananas. I’ve been to locally owned Par 3 courses in the boonies in better shape. I have no idea how they justify that price tag, maybe cause it’s the only course in that area, but who knows. Keep your course nicer or lower your prices

Great value. It's an executive course, so a little short, but I was able to hit every club in the bag. The course is in decent shape overall. There can be some rough spots, but the fairways and greens are in decent shape. For $40 you can play a quick round in 3 hours or so. The perfect course for beginners, hacks like me, and folks who just want to get out of the house and hit around for a few hours.

The course itself might not be ready for a Tour event, but the staff and programs they offer to the community are readying our youth for lifetime of events. Thanks to First Tee programs, urban and rural kid's alike are getting the exposure to golf that was once reserved for privileged country club types. But it really isn't about golf. Sure, it's the game that sparks interest, but the focus is on core values and life skills, which are laying dormant, just waiting to be developed, in many of our youth today. The 9 core values they use golf to help instill are; honesty, integrity, sportsmanship, respect, confidence, responsibility, perseverance, courtesy, and judgment. That said, I'd give a 10-star rating, if it were possible. Besides, paying $21 to walk 18 holes is not bad at all, and the course is certainly challenging enough for me. I highly encourage you to support this program if you can, as they're doing great things that are making a difference in lives that will pay dividends well into the future, and beyond, by His grace.
