When I visited here and played golf by an invitation, it felt disconnected and not very personal.

My overall opinion is that it is overpriced.. My feeling though is that the course has no memorable holes and is not that exciting. It can be challenging, but a bit gimmicky as ball placement is important and knowing where to hit. I actually played very well, but was left with a very unimpressive feeling when leaving.

While the course itself is in great condition, it was completely overshadowed by the rude and unprofessional behavior we encountered. We were on the 6th hole when a staff member came up to us and rudely accused us of taking too long. Excuse me? We paid for a full 18-hole round, and yet we were harassed mid-play as if we were doing something wrong. For reference, we were keeping a normal pace of play--absolutely no delays. This level of hostility from the staff is completely unacceptable. It was so bad that we left after the 9th hole because we couldn't tolerate their attitude any longer. We essentially wasted money on a full round that we didn't even finish because of how poorly we were treated. It's beyond frustrating to pay good money to play golf only to be harassed and disrespected. If you're considering this course, don't. Take your money elsewhere to a course where they actually value their customers. This place doesn't deserve your time or money. I would NEVER recommend this course to anyone, especially not fellow service members. Absolutely disgraceful.

Check all your statements and ask about the service charges. It is petty theft at its finest. One 8 dollar drink order had a 1 dollar service charge while my $50 drink order had a $10 service charge.

Bare bones inside which I don't mind.

After some research, I thought @GolfHouse would be a great first experience for him since they offer junior coaching and it's similar to a video game. When I emailed them with questions, they were the most quick and complete in response than any of the other Ashburn area courses. At this point we're 3 sessions in. Coach Ju Hee is very professional and confident, but has just the right style to keep my 10 year old engaged. In each session she has walked the line effectively between correcting swing issues and helping him understand how the game works, while also keeping it fun and engaging for him, which is probably the most important part at this point. The sessions involved 30 minutes of instruction and 30 minutes of free time in the bay which I'll sometimes use to take a few swings with my son. So far, this seems to be the right mix. Coach also shared the before/after swing photo I posted from session 2. While I'm not sure if other local coaches have this type of tech, I think this is a significant advantage because of the real-time feedback and insight it gives her into exactly what is happening. It's also great for us to see the progress he's making. Overall, I definitely would recommend @GolfHouse and Coach Ju Hee for lessons. At some point I'll probably book a bay with some of my friends who are more serious golfers during a lesson and see what they think about it.

It's a nine-hole par-3 course, so you're not coming here to bomb drivers all day, but that's the beauty of it. Every hole forces you to dial in your short and mid-irons, and for anyone from beginner to intermediate level, that's exactly the practice you need. They do have a small range where you can pull out the driver if you want to warm up, so you're not missing out completely. I know some reviews out there throw shade at the course, but honestly, for the price and the skill level it's aimed at, it's perfect. It's affordable, peaceful, and the layout is exactly what you want when you're trying to build consistency instead of pretending you're on the PGA Tour. I'm already looking forward to the season kicking off again so I can grab a membership. Huge shoutout to Sophia, too. She helped me and my foursome out and was genuinely one of the coolest people working at any course I've been to. Super friendly, patient, and made the whole visit smoother. I hope the course gives her the credit she deserves. Can't wait to play here again.

2 stars for one of the worst-kept golf courses in the DMV area…read more I am really writing this review in response to all of the positive reviews I've seen on Yelp and on golf websites like Golfpass. I try to base decisions on reviews and hope that others do the same based on mine, so I want to give a full picture view of this course. My wife and I were planning to play Burke Lake recently and decided to check out Lake Ridge to warm up, especially considering the 9 hole round would cost about $20. Located on Cotton Mill Drive in Woodbridge, my wife and I arrived to the course to see your pretty standard parking lot and public course club house. I went to check in and, when I mentioned my tee time since we were a little early, the man behind the register didn't really want to talk. He just told me to go out and start playing, so we did. What we found, on a 9 hole par 3 course that costs about the same as the Red Course at East Potomac, was a course that had been completely neglected. There were no real bunkers or even greens for a lot of holes. Very little in terms of signage or organization. It really felt like we were playing golf in a field. I get that the whole "you get what you pay for" idea, but the conditions were more in the range of a $5 course as you will in fact lose money from losing balls in these conditions. The most interesting part honestly was the 9th hole (where there is no actual exit from the course, but rather you just walk up a big hill) where I had to go over some hanging branches to a hole that felt like it was sitting on a cliff. I actually made the shot and birdied the hole, which was at least something positive out of the round. Unfortunately, it took over an hour to get to that hole as the gentleman in front of us with his young son had no interest in keeping any type of pace or letting us play through. I wouldn't expect a ranger at a course like this and would say bringing a kid to learn golf makes sense here, but it just made our experience even worse to the point we considered walking off half way through. Overall, Lake Ridge Golf Course is absolutely not worth the drive from anywhere outside of the Woodbridge area. While the price is pretty low (I occasionally see Golfnow deals for even less), the dreadful conditions make this a hard to even consider as a warm up course. You should really only consider going here if you are helping a young person learn the game of golf or you really just want a little more structure in your walk rather than strolling in a park.
