The parking lot is decently sized and can accommodate a lot of people. They have a nice overlook bluff with picnic tables which is great for enjoying nature and having a scenic view. The walking trail has multiple offshoots that allow you to explore, get closer to the water and has benches sprinkled throughout. I absolutely loved my time here getting to just sit and relax in such a beautiful, peaceful environment. They also offer history reenactments here as well, while I have not checked that out yet I am excited to.

All very friendly and knowledgeable and they were great teaching the kids. They had a ton of different equipment making the practice fun and easy to work on certain skills at each station. The grounds were well-maintained even though it was the middle of March and pretty cold out. I also liked that they had some of the stations set up with left handed clubs too, so even my little southpaw could learn and participate too. I'm definitely going to look more into this place so my little one can continue learning and using the skills she learned today.

The cost for range balls is a little more expensive than I would like but that doesn't stop me from going. They do offer a membership that makes it more worth it. Matts are in decent shape. I wish they would add more targets to dial in distances. I've got multiple lessons from Brooks Ward and he's a great guy. He adjusts to your play level and is easy to talk to. I was shooting mid to low 80s pretty consistently before meeting with him and now I am into the high 70's low 80's after a few months of adjusting to changes. Our lessons were more focused on swing mechanics and specific shot types. The 6 hole course is a great time if you only have a half hour or if you are teaching someone new to the game.

Rolling hills and obstructed views make this course more challenging than it looks. The greens are fast as a NASCAR track, so beware of that. Try to stay on the fairway, because the rough can easily swallow your ball and is somewhat difficult to chip out of. Overall, great time! Quick six holes to finish up a work day! Great for the short game (no driver needed here). I never took anything less than an 8 iron out of my bag! Highly recommend!

When it was time for the indoor reception, everyone was moved inside to the dining area, where the tables were beautifully set. Outside the dining area, there is a good amount of space that had the bar area, room for a photo booth, and the buffet-style food service. The service was really friendly throughout the night, and quick too (to clear used plates etc). I loved the spiral staircase from the upstairs to the dining area/dance floor. It made for a grand and fun entrance of the bridesmaids, groomsmen, and then the bride and groom themselves! A very nice location for a wedding, would recommend!

Dogwood Dell holds a free concert series during the summer and music genres of all kinds are on the itinerary. There is no charge to attend and it is a great way to spend a balmy summer night. Plunky is a RVA legend so the show was amazing and he packed the theater. It was one of the best live shows I had seen in awhile and it was free! The area is so nice and quite large. No dogs are allowed in Dogwood Dell so leave your fury friends at home. My friend had to take her dog home and come back. I would definitely recommend getting there early so you can have your pick of seats. You can be simple and bring a blanket or go all out and bring a romantic picnic. I brought a nice portable chair, blanket and a small cooler of refreshments. I got there early enough to get my pick of where I wanted to sit. Vendors set up around the area as well so you can purchase food and drinks if you did not bring your own. Be sure to bring bug spray! The bathrooms were under renovation so there were tons of port a potties on the premises when I went. I think normally there are regular restrooms. I would bring wipes or a roll of toilet paper just in case. I can't wait to come back to Dogwood Dell to enjoy a night under the stars listening to fantastic music!

Sayler's Creek Battlefield near Farmville, VA April 6, 1865 (the Black Thursday of the Confederacy) The battle was composed of 3 separate engagements: Battle of Hillsman's Farm, Battle of Marshall's Cross Roads (or Battle of Harper's Farm), and Battle of Lockett's Farm (or Battle of Double Bridges). Robert E. Lee's army was retreating from the Richmond to the Petersburg line. Here, on April 6, 1865, Union General Philip Sheridan cut off and beat back about a 1/4th of Lee's army. Eight Confederate generals surrendered, and 7,700 men were lost. Confederate Major General George Washington Custis Lee, eldest son of Robert E. Lee, was forcibly captured on the battlefield. This was the last major engagement in Virginia; Lee's surrender at Appomattox occurred 3 days later. The Hillsman House, which was owned by Capt. James Hillsman, served as a hospital for both Confederate and Union troops. Bloodstains still remain on the floor. The land was originally named in the 18th century for a farmer named Saylor. During the Civil War, the name was changed to Sayler. Some official records called it Sailor, which is what the Commonwealth of Virginia uses in its name for the related park.
