This place may have cracked my top three to play in Virginia, and that is saying a lot. Just a fantastic course. I said to my friends when playing with them: there's not a bad hole on the golf course. Every hole has its own feel to it and each one adds to the layout. Lots of holes start with a risk/reward tee shot. I think this would be a great course to host a scramble as well. Green complexes are well thought out with areas you want to be and areas you really want to avoid. That's not always apparent from the approach shot. Layups on par 5s also need a lot of thought. But all of this adds to the replay factor here. Finishes on a beautiful par 5 with water all the way up the left side. Wish I had played it better but hopefully will have another chance at some point soon.

Practice areas are a little spread apart but cover everything you need. Big driving range that they only utilize a small part of (which wasn't great). Two putting greens. One is a short game area green as well but it rolls just as nicely as the greens on the course.

The only small downside would be it's not the most walkable course. A couple of holes have long stretches between them and it's hilly too. Service was impressive and the event here was very well run. Just be sure to stop by the Barbecue Exchange if you're coming from northern Virginia!
