Great Layout, Excellent Starr

This course has a fantastic layout. Forces you to hit good golf shots. Greens had just been aerated, but still rolled very nicely and had some pace. Grass hasn’t greened up yet, but was still pretty thick and was a great playing surface. The staff was super friendly, helpful, and kind. Will definitely be back and would recommend playing here!

Great Stay and Play

This is one of my favorite courses in the area, truly a hidden gem.

We did the stay and play and I cannot recommend it enough. The cabin was very nice, well kept and accommodating for our group of 10.

The course is in great shape and the layout is very unique. All of the staff I dealt with were first class. John took the time to show me around their newly remodeled clubhouse and answered questions I had about the course. I also had the chance to talk with the owner, Jim, who was a true gentleman.

Overall the course is a must play and a great challenge for any golfer. I look forward to playing it again.

Late winter round

Course was aerating the greens. Took a chance on a late winter round with a Golf Now discount. The course superintendent explained some of the improvements his crew has been working on during the winter. Had a great time. Looking forward to seeing how the course grows out this spring.

Great course off the beaten path

Mattaponi Springs is a great course for a very reasonable price. The layout is very open and forgiving, but has a number of challenging holes. A beautiful setting in the countryside. And the pace of play is great as well.

Decent course

This course has potential to be really nice. The course layout is actually amazing and the views are really nice. However, the condition of the course was sub par. I know it is winter but if you’re gonna charge $75 a round the conditions need to be better. The tee boxes are fine. Lots of poa annua all over the fairways and the grass is super long. The greens were not terrible but not great. Rolled true but many burnt spots as well as sandy pots all over some greens. Probably won’t be back.

Best course around!

My favorite course within 50 miles. Love the layout, variability in distance (par-3’s range from 115 to 235 from the blues, and par-4’s are drivable or long-iron-in), and the fairways and greens are immaculate.

The staff is super friendly and the new GM takes care of business. The clubhouse is country club level, with food to match. They’re also having a new state-of-the-art simulator built in the clubhouse for the 2025 season.

It is likely a bit of a drive for most people, but absolutely worth it! I play out there as often as I can.

Outstanding Golf Experience

I recently had the pleasure of playing at Mattaponi, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! From the moment I arrived, the staff was incredibly welcoming and professional, making check-in and warm-up a breeze.

The course conditions were immaculate—lush fairways, pristine greens rolling true, and well-maintained bunkers. The layout offers a great mix of challenge and playability, catering to all skill levels. Every hole had a unique character, with breathtaking views that added to the overall enjoyment.

The facilities were top-notch, from the well-stocked pro shop to the modern clubhouse with excellent dining options. The practice area was also fantastic, featuring a spacious driving range and well-kept putting greens.

Overall, Mattaponi exceeded my expectations in every way. Whether you’re a seasoned golfer or a weekend warrior, this course is a must-play. I can’t wait to return!

PURE GOLF!

PURE GOLF is what they say at Mattaponi, and it's PURE GOLD!!
This course is phenomenal! Even though the undulating zoysia fairways are dormant, they still play like it's a roller coaster in spring. They moved their beautiful new gas carts to the parking lot now, so all I have to do is park, load up, and head to the bar to check in. How easy is that!! And what a bar... they've completely remodeled the bar, and it looks quite nice. The staff there is over the top helpful and always accommodating. What a great experience from beginning to end!
