Played the Hornet course at Aeropines Golf Club on today. Staff was super friendly, professional and quickly got me and my buddy checked in. Loved the layout of the course....and, the course was in good condition...lots of great work is occurring by the course Pro, superintendent, and crew...greens, fairways, and green side bunkers were in great shape. The rough was manageable...appears its been lowered, I didn't have any issues finding my and or my buddy's ball fairly quickly. There are challenges the course is trying to overcome with some broken sprinklers...so you will see some overgrowth and an area roped off on hole 13 to avoid...unfortunately I hit into it but was able to retrieve my ball and took free relief outside the area.
Additionally, after month of construction by Dominion Energy, hole 15 is back as a par 4, 16 is now a par 3 and hole 18 has been returned to a par 5. Highly recommend playing Aeropines...is there room for improvement..."yes"...but overall I found the course in good shape, enjoyable and a great test of my golf game.

Greens and fairway are decent, but rough is way too overgrown. Pace of play was very slow. Halfway house wasn’t open so at least the water jugs along the way should be filled, which they weren’t. For a $50 base course it’s okay, but I’d recommend just going over to Red Wing.

The staff were very pleasant. The club house was nice inside but the decks/porches were in disrepair. We took time to give the food a shot after our round. The breakfast was good and price nicely. We only played 9 and at $50.00 for two, with a cart was a good deal, for a weekday. The course….Meh. Greens were 3.5 out of 5. Lots were burnt. Fairways were long and in need of cutting. When they were cut last, clumps of grass were left all over the fairways. I’m no pro by any stretch of the imagination, but it was a frustrating round, from the course aspect. Several lost balls, on the fairways.
We may give it another try, next time we’re in Oceana. I heard that improvements were in the works.

Tomcat course in horrible shape. Marshall hurried us even though we were on pace and finished a little over 4 hours. They had alot of pairs and 3 some behind us and apparently it was our fault people were jammed up. Took forever to find a ball in the weeds a yard or two off the fairway. Bunkers full of weeds and no sand at all, just mud. Needs alot of work to get up to pace with hornet course.
