Review
“The Virginian is a prototypical Tom Fazio design that winds through a high-end housing development, where the houses never intrude and the cart paths are always well hidden. The (more interesting) front nine makes good use of the rollicking terrain, whereas the back nine has more of an open, expansive farmland feel. Fazio loves downhill holes and The Virginian has them in spades. The advantage is that this allows you to see most of the hole and strategize accordingly. The disadvantage is that it tends to become repetitive and some of the holes, despite their inherent strategic value, begin to blend together. All of the very large greens are sectored off by a ridges that run in every possible orientation. This also allows for some very difficult hole location options where it is paramount to hit the proper sector. Otherwise, the greens are not overly difficult, nor are the green surrounds. There are six tee options and six hybrid options, so the course can be managed by various skill levels. The Virginian is a beautiful property with a well-maintained and interesting golf course that should present enough challenge to keep most golfers interested on a regular basis."

“A community course with not much of a challenge, too many short par 4's, not driveable ones, but short ones. Not one of Fazio's best."

“Very solid track with good conditions. Most all the Par 4s on the front sit in a valley so your tee ball has side boards. All the greens are divided into front/ back halves OR left and right halves. In my opinion it's not great, but definitely worth the opportunity to play if you get a chance."
