This club offers the brilliance of a well-designed course with the beauty of Virginia's flatlands. Trees line every hole on this narrow course, and water hazards come into play on ten holes. Precision is needed off the tee and a good short game is needed on the approach. The most photographed hole on this course is #8, a 149-yard, par 3, which plays into dense trees and over a marsh to the green. Carts are mandatory.

 A Good Value, Nov 07, 2004 |
| reviewer: George Webb
from Locust Grove, VA |
| This is a course that is really trying to do best by their customers. The personnel are friendly, the clubhouse has a very good basic restaurant and there is a definite attempt to keep the course in decent shape. Wet weather seems to make the tee boxes bare and washes out the sandtraps, but recently these have been repaired. The placement of some of the hazzards make a few carrys tough for shorter hitters and some handicapped players may find it difficult to manage the hummocks getting to and from a few of the fairways when the cart path only rule is in effect. However, recent redesign has made the 18th hole more reasonable to play. It is a fun layout and a definite bargain when compared to some of the high end daily fee courses in the general area. |

great greens, Oct 28, 2004 |
| reviewer: tom dugger
from ashburn va |
| aside from the general manager, who is my loser cousin, i think the golf course plays well and is overll in good condition. i heard very negative comments of the course prior to my cousin taking over as general manager. several of my friends and clients play the course regularly and find it very challenging. the nascar golk balls add a bit of orange county class to the pro shop. |

Beautiful course, wonderful improvement, Apr 26, 2004 |
| reviewer: Jesse R. Booth

| I played Somerset on April 26 for the first time since you reopened. This course has improved one hundred percent. The greens are some of the best I've putted on anywhere. The fairways, tee boxes, and even the rough are maintained exceptionally well. I could not believe that I was playing on the same course I played two years ago. Your maintenance crew is to be commended for a job well done. |
