    Comfortably the best condition public course in the DMV. A joy to play with the fall colors in the backdrop on a beautiful Sunday for golf. Pros - Greens are fantastic, they’ll hold a ball and run fast and true - The layout is enjoyable for folks who don’t boom it off the tee, lots of short par 4s to make you think but there are some challenging holes too - 11 is a tough par 3 - The price point of $79 for a twilight round is great value for the quality of this track. Appreciate the electric carts w/GPS too. Cons - Pace of play was slow, took 4h40m & we finished in darkness. Didn’t see a marshal all day; would recommend they do a better job at tee time spacing or have a proactive marshal working weekends. Overall this is easily one of the best courses in the area, Worthington probably more challenging for a low single digit player but you’d have some fun here even if you are a low handicapper.

    Very fun and challenging course with a lot of interesting holes that make you think. Course was in great condition - right up there with the other top public courses in the area. No drivers allowed on the range is a little annoying but it’s not the end of the world.

    Got 1 star for being a nice course. But that’s about all it is, and I want to add that it’s on the same level of course like Falls Road and Little Bennet, but Blue Mash charges $105 instead of $75 for the same tee time. First time playing here today, and the course was so backed up that it took 5 and a half hours to finish. Called the shop twice about pace, nothing happened. Normally, I wouldn’t care much, but I paid $105 dollars for this tee time. Don’t think I will be returning, will just save my money and time at other public courses.

    Summer golf camp - extremely disappointing and unsafe. Do NOT send your kids to this golf camp! I enrolled my 8 year old and 5 year old daughters in the week-long golf camp. My 8 year old attended golf camp during the previous summer (different ownership/management) and it was a great experience and so I was excited to send her back as well as send my 5 year old. Unfortunately this year the camp was absolutely horrible for several reasons and I ultimately pulled my kids out of the camp after 1.5 days. First, the camp signed up more kids than they should have and did not have safe camper to counselor ratios. The manager (Sam) told me directly that they had more kids than they anticipated. I am not sure how this is possible because they should limit the enrollment to match the number of counselors. Second, there were no safety protocols. It was extremely dangerous. The most concerning incident was one in which a roughly ten year old boy was struck in the face by another camper's golf club. The kids were not being supervised when it happened. The kid had a large laceration over his eye. I was in the clubhouse at the time and I went over to check on the kid, since I'm a physician. I said that the kid might need stitches. Then one of the staff said he was a former EMT and thought the kid did not need stitches. I responded quite firmly that the decision should be made by the child's parent who should have been notified immediately. There were also incidents of camper (under legal age to drive) driving a golf cart with other kids riding without a counselor and multiple instances where kids were hitting golf balls unsupervised in the direction of other kids and adults who were on the practice green. What is most disappointing is that I spoke to the manager in the morning and expressed my concern that there were no safety protocols being followed and that I was concerned that an incident would occur. Sam indicated he would talk to the staff about increasing supervision. Unfortunately, less than 4 hours later, a kid nearly lost his eye... Needless to say, I pulled my kids out of the camp. They weren't getting any meaningful or organized instruction anyway.

    Gotta love when they add gratuity and don't tell you. In addition, they over charged my account based upon my receipt. Golf course itself is fine, but I'm upset at the shenanigans on the food and beverage. Pay your staff a normal wage and stop trying to cyphon money from customers in a sneaky way.

    Very nice course. A great blend of challenge and reward. Relatively easier for advance players. My 11 years son shot a 76 gross and was in only 1 (fairway) bunker. The course seemed a bit pricey and yet they wanted to charge for range balls etc. They would get a lot more business if they focused on some optimal fees structure and more welcoming disposition.

    Course in great shape. Very interesting layout. Most of staff friendly and professional. One big negative was a very rude and smart mouth starter. I would expect a person with better people skillls in this position since it was the first employee we met upon arrival at club house.

    This golf course used to be my “home away from home.” It has a fantastic and challenging 18-hole layout, grass driving range, chipping and putting greens, deep practice sand traps, and a decent clubhouse with a good view toward the course from the top of the hill. I played on their summer leagues for many years. This all changed in 2021 when management switched over to KemperSports. They are completely unprofessional and disorganized when it comes to league play. Little to no transparency on prize money, rules, and standings with a substantial ~$140 entry fee. We were paying $50 each to walk 9 holes. It was unclear where the money was going, and whether there were flag prizes and which teams/individuals (if any) placed each week. Years before there was a weekly cash payout for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place including flag prizes but no longer. Tee times for league play were also inconsistent, and the clubhouse move up tee times when showing up, unable to take time to warm up. The experience was so unpleasant I ended up quitting half-way into the league despite being in first place. Management places zero value on customer service and would not honor certificates for free rounds. I showed up to play golf on a Wednesday late morning after booking online and there was a mix-up where a pre-Thanksgiving 2023 open tournament was taking place. However, they would not accept my certificate, even to an extent of offering to pay and make up any difference between the green fees and tournament fees. I called the manager and emailed twice to complain since my certificate was close to expiring. I never received a call back to sort it out and my certificate was left to expire. Bottom line is that KemperSports doesn’t care about you. They value bottom dollar over customer needs and respect.
