Got the chance to play this golf course by getting reciprocity through my course.  This is a private golf club, but not a Country Club.  I think they have 200 members and a small restaurant/bar.

What a fantastic Fazio design.  This may be my new favorite course that I have played in Virginia.  River Bend Country Club and The Federal Club not withstanding, which are both very very nice.  Haven't yet played Kinloch.

The fairways were immaculate and the greens, even though they had been punched within the last couple of days, rolled very well.

The practice range along with the putting and short game range were top notch.

There are no tee times, we showed up at 7 am and were the first group off at 7:30 am.  The assistant pro Rick met us at my car and took my bag.  He was Johnny on the spot, very nice to the Asst. Pro taking care of you.

He explained the course and gave us a few tips on how to play a couple of the more unique holes.  The landing areas for most holes were generous, the traps were placed to get you to play away from the shorter second shot, but it was a very fair test of golf.

hole by hole description along with a hole picture at the link below.

Favorite hole was the 12th

Only 362 Yds from the Blue tees, but a really tough driving hole and then a raised green where any short ball will not make it to the green.

The 18th hole was also a very nice hole.

We ended up playing in 3 hours, we didn't see anyone on the front 9 and never say another golfer until we made the turn and there were some ladies practicing on the range.  A group of 3 players jumped in behind us after we made the turn, but after a couple of holes we never saw them again,

Just a gorgeous course, if you can ever play this course, I would highly recommend it.

      2025 TST Birdie Challenge

      By DaveP043 ·

      Yeah, what brought the idea to mind was a birdie on hole 4, an uphill par 3.  Normally its about 175 yards, but from the forward tees it was only about 115.  I'd have felt guilty posting that one.

      Another Surgery for Tiger

      By Archie Bunker ·

      Not even 50 years old and falling apart. You've got to wonder - lifestyle? swing technique? heredity? or something else? Yes, we are all aware of the major accident, but for someone who has physically done "everything" to make himself one of the greatest golfers of all time, you have to wonder. Don't think I've known any golfer in the past that has gone through so many injuries and surgeries.

      2025 TST Birdie Challenge

      By GolfLug ·

      Season underway. Home course Round 2 broke the ice with two birdies on hole 6 ((9 iron) and 9 (8 iron), both par 3s. I will try to be diligent in recording this year. Hoping to add at least one on the away course sheet at the end of March with my first ever overseas (Japan) round.

      Left Hand Pain at the Start of the Backswing – Any Similar Experiences?

      By Howdybuddyman ·

      Hey everyone, I’ve been dealing with a frustrating pain in my left hand (right-handed golfer) that only occurs when I grip the club and start my backswing. The pain is located on the back of my hand, near the wrist, and I can feel it right at the beginning of the backswing. My grip is very neutral, and I’ve experimented with different grip pressures, but nothing has made a difference   The strange thing is that it doesn’t hurt during other activities and doesn’t affect me in day-to-day life—only when I swing a golf club. I took a one-month break from golf to let it heal, but unfortunately, that didn’t help. I also tried physiotherapy, including exercises and laser treatment, but the pain persists. This has been an ongoing issue since November 2024. I’ve attached a picture, and the marked area is where it hurts. Has anyone experienced something similar? Any advice or treatment suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
