Independence Golf Club - Championship

Generally first class operation all around. Great staff, clubhouse, range, layout, fairways. Greens were firm and true; not exceptionally fast. I went on a cart path only day and I would not do that again. Definitely would be better to walk than CPO. There was a beverage cart but the snack shack was closed on a Sunday. A great test of the long game. Thanks to Lester George for the sand trap reduction. Rest assured I was still able to find several of them.

Bring your A game. It’s wide open and the green roll very smooth!

Great layout with generous fairways but punishing rough. Greens were in amazing condition! very fast but ran true. Loved it.

Course was in great shape from the Mid-Am. Practice facility always in great shape. No bev kart or halfway house open on a beautiful Saturday. If you’re gonna claim to be the tip of the spear and charge $150+ for a round then the spear needs to always be sharp.

Greens were fast and the rough was coming up. Course is hosting the state open in a week.

One of my favorite tracks in the area.

Course seems to always stay in EXCELLENT condition.

The course was not as green and fluffy as it was last time I played it, but the manicure was great!! Now if they sold a golf game with the tee time it would be even better. Loved the course and loved the people. Thank you for a great experience.

Very nice layout and competitive course for a golfer who has played many courses across the US. Definitely a course I play when I’m back in Richmond area.

A couple of things up front: Retail for 18 holes is $140 in the winter time. I saved my golfpass points, used a hot deal, and the SUN25 promo code and played for $36. Also, the area got 2” of rain 48 hours before I played. This was followed with 48 hours of pure sunshine(during the day) and wind. Played on a Monday.

I got what I payed for, which was: a beautiful driving range, fabulous greens, painted fairways, very friendly pro shop staff that did not communicate course conditions or cart rules. Very friendly maintenance staff that alerted my foursome, while on the putting green, that they were gonna open the course to 90 degrees (which was news to the foursome since no one communicated CPO), Closed snack shack at turn (really needed that hot dog), closed purified water station/bathroom house on the back 9, bunkers that had not been given any attention since the rain, and a few bare spots on tees.

Again, I’m not mad. I played for a heck of a deal. Thank you GolfNow. I will be back but probably not until summer.

The course was very nice and I had a good time playing it. Being a semi-private club it had some nice amenities and the club fitting trailer was very nice.

I would recommend it when in Richmond.
