    Absolutely smashing golf course bang in the middle of Herndon - really good value, really lovely layout, comes with a drving range and a putting green. Rates are $26 during the week. If you work in the area it's a lovely spot to come and bang some balls at lunch time.

    The grill is world famous and deserves a review of its own as it has been written up in the Washington Post.

    Probably the best value for money golf in Northern Virginia.

    This course is underrated in my opinion.  It's not Pebble Beach, but it's fair and the greens fees are reasonable.  I'd have to say it's usually in good shape too.  There's a decent range and putting green to practice on.  The snack bar has pretty good food too.  They have good hotdogs, sausages, and pulled pork sandwiches.  Those are the only things I've tried so far.  

    My friends and I play here a lot since it's more affordable.  That means we get to play more often as well.  The backup here is more severe later in the day due to it being more affordable though.

    This is a nicely maintained little muni out near Dulles. The price is decent, ~$50 on a weekday afternoon, versus ~$75 at the daily fee tracks. They have a decent grill in the no frills clubhouse. The putting green is pretty big, although it could use more undulations to better mimic that conditions on the course. The range is mostly mats (about 15 stalls), other than a small area used for lessons. The is some what in play on the first and 18th holes.

    The course itself is short, about 6200 from he tips. There are 4 different tee boxes on most holes. I found that the front 9 par 3s were about the same length (160/170) as one another and again on the back side (130/140). The par 5s were tougher to judge, since they were working on the tee boxes on 2 of them so they were playing way short.

    I found the fairways to be spongy and not conducive to getting much roll. The greens were modestly receptive. However the areas around the greens were sometimes in rough shape. Its kind a pet peeve for me, if my ball is between the bunker and the green, I expect to be sitting on grass, not in a hardpan hole. The traps were a little inconsistant. In two cases, the sand was deep and fluffy, in another, there was barely an inch of sand to play off of.

    On the high side, they appear to be working to improve the course. There were a number of tee boxes and fairway bunkers being re/build when I played there last week. I thought the rangers did a good job of patrolling the course and keeping play moving. We played as a three some in under 3 hrs 30 min. They could stand to send out a nicer cart girl with more than just chips to eat.
