The Golf Club at Mattaponi Springs

The Golf Club at Mattaponi Springs is a great golf experience you’ll want to add to your list of ‘must play’ courses. While we visited in spring, course conditions were superb. Greens were a little slow, but the fairways rolled very well. This is a course with lots of elevation changes from tee to green. Go to their website for a detailed hole-by-hole description. It’s great preparation.

Hole 11 is our favorite – a double fairway, with risk-reward opportunities on both fairways, to an elevated green, sloping back to front! Holes 13-17 are generally flat by comparison (with the Par 3, 14 being an exception).

While they could add yardage markers on the driving range and a few yardage notices around the course to avoid ravines, this is a great experience waiting for you. Mattaponi Spring’s superintendent, Kevin, is a highly qualified and experienced individual who is making all the right adjustments for playability, fairness and lines of site. His team has removed lots of trees, note Hole 9 on the right side to open the fairway and adding additional sod to soften the blow not so well hit tee shot.
