South Riding Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
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.

NEED BINOCULARS OR A RANGE FINDER TO FIND THE SIGNS
Unbelievable tiny signs identifying the holes. The absolute worst signage i have ever seen. No directional markers either to show where hole 1 is.
All good except pace of play
This being a Saturday weekend was slow. There should be an active Starter managing the tee times as the groups go to the first tee. At least space out the group much better or efficiently.
Truth
South Riding needs a lot of course maintenance, basic signage, # hole signs with layout, and lots of T-box work.
The 4 of 5 star ratings on Golf Now are not truthful about South Riding’s true condition.
Not worth the money
Tee areas are terrible. Fairways were pretty good, but too many burned out patches and wet tracks. Greens good. Pace of play was slow. Starter was no where to be found, no signs pointing to the first hole. We roamed around looking for it. The layout is actually pretty fun, but the course needs work. At least 20% overpriced.
Great layout, iffy conditions
Greens rolled well, but fairways were very patchy. Also, the rough around the greens seemed like it hadn't been mowed in a month - very tough to find balls.
Still an Amazing Course
Apparently, it had been raining for a few days, so many golfers were lined up to go out for a round. This, and the observance for cart-path only created a slow pace and backup.
Personally, didn't mind it and understood why we were where we were. Great course still
Hidden Gem
This place was amazing. Greens were in fantastic shape, no ball marks to be found- smooth roll every time. Fairways were wet since it just rained for 3 days but that’s not their fault. Was still able to play everywhere the ball landed there weren’t any washed out spots. Only complaint is they could have some better signage for hole distances and next hole locations, but whatever. You get a wicked fast electric cart and a great golf course for $45 a round. Can’t beat it
Do not like Golfnow
Although I have played this course many times in the past, I Ended up not being able to play today and was not allowed to cancel my reservation through Golfnow because my tee time rate was considered a ‘hot deal’. Was not even allowed to reschedule via the Golfnow site so I am out $132. Will not be using Golfnow ever again and will not recommend it to any of my friends.
Cart path only! Course was wet and soggy. Recent rains dumped a lot of water on the course and there was some rain on the day I played.
Hot
I wound up as a single and it was pretty tough. After about 4 holes I got backed up with nowhere to go. Couldn't play through and then after 9 I started on #1 again but once again ran into too much interference. Normally it's a fun course to play but the pace made it too tough for me today.
