South Riding Golf Club
About
South Riding Golf Club is nestled in the gentle hills of northern Virginia, enjoying a landscape of hardwood forests and grassy meadows. The course offers a variety of challenges but the fairways are wide and player-friendly and the greens can be tough in spots but overall they offer some room for error. The layout requires both strategy and skill, it is definitely not a golf course where you will be able to just "grip and rip it." The course pinpoints your weaknesses but it is still a fair test. South Riding Golf Club's eighth hole is memorable for its difficulty but it's an interesting hole sine there are many ways to play it. At 351 yards, the hole is a short but intimidating dogleg left that will tempt you to go over the trees. The fairway is generous but the saddle-shaped green is flanked with bunkers.

Unfair greens
Greens were very fast and the pin locations were too difficult for average players on a Monday. Almost all locations were on steep inclines causing missed putts above the cup to be further away that the first putt.
Nice day but windy
Course was in good shape for this time of year. Greens were great, very fast. Overall, no real complaints,
Nice Round on a Nice Course
South Riding doesn't get the recognition it deserves - it's a challenging but fair layout on a course that's usually in great condition. Plenty of interesting holes and plenty of challenge, with tee boxes going back beyond 7,000 yards. A really good value on a fine course.
Very Firm Greens
Course was in very good condition. Fairways were nice and even the bunkers had good sand and were well cared for. The biggest challenge was the greens. They were really firm so it made holding shots very hard. Plus the wind was blowing so anything downwind was almost guaranteed to bounce and go over the green. The greens were very fast as well so putting from above the hole was hard. Hopefully as the year goes on and they go through their first aeration, they will soften a little. Overall, I like the course and it will stay in the rotation.
A little worse every time…
I’ve played at South Riding dozens of times and it gets a little less fun everytime. Course could benefit greatly from a Marshall riding around to enforce pace of play and course etiquette. Multiple groups driving right up on the green on 18, lots of screaming and disregard for any sort of etiquette. Fun course when it’s maintained and has a good pace. Today, was not one of those days.
Poor conditions
First time playing the course. The course conditions were very poor resultant in an extremely slow pace of play. While I'm aware that the area has received a lot of rain recentlys-- the tire marks, overgrown grass, and poor tee boxes are clearly an ongoing issue as unacceptable considering the price to play.
Great staff, rude patrons
The course was certainly overbooked and scores of groups were queued right behind each other. Impatient and rude patrons would attempt to play through only to discover there was no room ahead and just .made the wait worse
Signage
Directional signs that lead you to the correct hole can’t be that much money I assume.
After looking for 18 for 20 minutes it started to rain. That’s after starting on 10 since 1 was impossible to find. 8 holes. Never again
Fun basic course
Course is very solid and fun. Weeds were a bit out of control and greens were ok. Still one of my favs in the area. Long straight drives pay off big on the par 5’s
Glad to be back
The course was in great shape. Traps were very well maintained and playable. Few courses now do anything with the traps, I was very pleased. Rates have gotten so high that I can't play here very often. I will be keeping my eye out for another deal,can't wait to get back.
