I went with my buddy and we weren't "members" and it sucked
 
Played Worthington Manor for the third time today -- man I love that place, it's a shame it's 45 minutes away. Course was in absolutely gorgeous shape and I played half decent too, which is always nice.

I was initially bummed about the wind, but after a while I started enjoying it. Kind of liked having to think my way through my shots a bit more.

Playing nine holes with the wife tomorrow and then I'm hanging up the spikes for a month to recover from surgery. I'll be back just in time for Ocean City though!

Anyone played Stonewall? The course looks really nice, but it is pretty expensive. $100+ on weekends in summer. The course isn't on Golfnow. Anyone know any sites that offer deals play there?

I have played it when I was thinking about joining. Course is great, a little slow to play but thats seems to be the norm around here. I do not know of any deals to be had.

How was Greendale? I am sure it was just nice to get out. I have been going through withdrawal ... haven't played in so long I probably forgot how! C'mon warm weather!! :act-up:
 
Anyone played any of the Golfweek Amateur tour events? I just noticed they have a DC metro tour & they are playing at Stonewall on 29 March.

My completely favorite course in the entire area. Very challenging but fair and always in great shape.

It was great to be out on the course after this brutal winter. It was a little cold than I would prefer but all in not a bad day. Score was Ehhh haha greens were in rough shape along with my putting stroke! I felt like I had chances to make putts but they just didn't fall. Oh well gotta keep after it

Just found out yesterday that my organition's golf tournament is NOT at Stonewall...but at Virginia Oaks golf course. I just read some online reviews and most of them talk about poor course conditions & long rounds. I have never played here.

Anyone here played Virginia Oaks in a last year or so?

I played there last year and it was in bad shape. I think they lost some greens and the Superintendent at some point. If you do go, count on a 5 hour round most of the time. There really are only a few holes that if you have never played there before would be confusing and you wouldn't know where to hit initially. Otherwise everything is pretty straight forward. I don't know why it takes so long to play. Sad to see though ... because when it first opened it was a great course, always in fabulous condition. They always tried to rival RTJ which is right across Lake Manassas from them.
I also have a tournament there in May! Maybe I should go check it out myself.

This is a pretty good synopsis. I've played there twice over the last few years. Both times over 5 hours. Last round we waited for 20 minutes after our tee time before we could even get started.
 
Thanks for the feedback guys. Sounds just like the reviews I read online. Must be tough for a golf course when your neighbors are RTJ and Stonewall. I took some lessons at Stonewall. It is a very nice looking course, but there summer weekend rate is $120 I think.

I hate paying $80 to play in a tournament at a course with less than desirable conditions :{

FWIW, when I played last it was in ok shape, just slow. May have been before they lost the greens. For your sake and theirs, I hope they have it straightened out!
