Great course! Played in November a few days after a lot of rain and the course was nice and dry. Greens were a little rough in the shaded areas, and some bunkers still had standing water. For the price it was better than expected though.

Great views and fun course. Greens are patchy and bumpy though. Quiet and calm day. Beautiful Blue Herons.

We played Hunting Hawk today. Firstly, the name is very apt. We saw plenty of Hawks and many of them were hunting. It seems like the hawks in the area are quite cool with people around so you can get pretty close to them.The course was in really good shape. The layout is challenging with many cool hole designs. It is a fun course and I’d gladly play it again. They have electric carts which is a bonus. Much quieter.The only complaint I’d have is the greens have weeds? Or sprouts? Intermixed on them? Is this Poa Annua? I don’t know. They shave down with the mower pretty well but I did have one putt get knocked offline because of it.Great course, nice layout. I’d definitely play it again.

I am sorry that I have to post this review. Played yesterday understanding the posting on their website that the greens had been aerated on September 1. When checking in saw the notice about 2 putt max recommended. Then when I got on the first green, could not believe what really bad shape of the greens. Very little grass and mostly just packed sand for all 18 holes - maybe the worst greens I have played on in my 30 years of golf. Two suggestions so players are forewarned:1. Modify the posting on the web site to include the 2 putt max recommendation with the aeration notice so players will be forewarned with some idea of how bad the greens are right now.2. Reduce the greens fee while the greens are in such bad shape.I have always enjoyed playing Hunting Hawk throughout the years, but not sure Ill be back after this experience without at least being given a buyer beware notice.

I played a round out at Hunting Hawk on Thursday afternoon with my son as an early Fathers Day get together and thoroughly enjoyed it! We were a bit hesitant after seeing all of these one star reviews but it was far from a one star experience. They even have a senior discount card which saved me a few bucks!It seemed pretty busy, and since we are beginners, we were worried that we wouldnt feel comfortable playing with a large crown or another group. They paired us up with two other golfers who play at Hunting Hawk frequently and we really enjoyed the company.The staff was friendly both at check-in and in the grill, even when we were caught bringing our own beer in a personal cooler. The grill manager mentioned to us that we couldnt bring our own due to ABC Laws and they even pointed out the signs to us that are posted around the clubhouse so it wasnt a big deal. We will do better next time!The golf course was in awesome shape, probably the best we have played around the city within the last few months. Greens rolled well and fairways were beautiful even though a little wet following the rain on Wednesday (We dont like cart path only - bad legs). The driving range was closed because of the rain so that was disappointing but we just ended up putting before our tee time. We had such a great time that we even booked another tee time for Fathers Day with another father and son to do it all again and we are definitely looking forward to it (weather permitting).Thank you Hunting Hawk for a great experience and we look forward to frequenting your club in the near future. And to all of the golfers out there like us who enjoy reading reviews before going to a business, you might miss a great experience due to some people who only leave bad reviews, dont be mislead and be sure to check this place out!

Had fun playing at Hunting Hawk. The fairways are in good shape. A few of the greens are a little iffy on the grass but all in all a very good time. Try it!

I love this course and the folks working the counter and handling tee times are super nice. Beer was cold. I’m a lady that can hold my own on a course and frequently would join a group of gentlemen. All the people at the course welcomed me and I look forward to my next outing (next week!)

Staff is really nice with the pro shop being well stocked, sand traps need to be given a little more loving attention with the fairways being in great shape. Greens look pretty, but need some immediate and dire attention as putting on them is like trying to putt on the surface of the moon given the numerous small holes on them

A decent golf course but unfortunately conditions have diminished over the past couple years. The greens are rough these days and patchy with dirt and weeds. Hopefully 2021 is a more prosperous season.

To all the One Star reviewers regarding rudeness of the staff. I have been a member for quite a while and I am not employed by Hunting Hawk. I have never known the staff to be rude. If you break the alcohol rules, you will be spoken to about that. There are several signs. If you can read, you should know better.If a marshal tells you that you need to pick up your playing pace, it is because you are holding up multiple groups behind you. You should not have to be told that, all you have to do is look behind you to see other players waiting for you to finish hole after hole. The marshal is not being rude, YOU are, to all the groups of players behind you. If you want to play an inexorably slow round, go to Sycamore Creek.

Great staff. Course was in really good shape!

1st time playing at Hunting Hawk. I enjoyed the course, but the greens get a big fat F! It was like putting on pea gravel. Dissapionting

Was out there yesterday with a group of friends. We were treated horribly by the lower tier staff. We were greeted by a dude threatening to search our coolers, and later the same dude came out and harassed my group on the golf course. He said he warned us twice already, only to be corrected that he had in fact warned the group behind us instead. In both encounters the dude was rude, and appeared to be on a power trip. I have played the Hawk for 15 years now, used to be a member in a regular Saturday group, and I will not be returning. Any business is a reflection of how it treats its customers, and on this you failed us yesterday. Will not be returning for some time, if ever. Your actions yesterday spoke volumes. Disappointed, I remain. -Moorefield

Simply Put, I was So impressed with The Club House Personnel, To the Grille Attendants to The General Manager and PGA Teaching Pros , That I became a Member. And Lest I forget the Grounds crew who work So Hard and yet I sometimes wonder How much credit and Praise they get for Keeping Hunting Hawk a Great Looking Course. A Top Notch Course with a Top Notch Staff Top to Bottom .Thanks Guys .

Its hard to imagine myself playing this course again. The Hollows is right down the road with better management. Even though Hunting Hawk keeps their Fairways slightly more maintained, the staff makes it fail in comparison.To the owner : get a new Marshall, keep the driving range open and stop trying to pair two sums with other twos. I dont care to play with others when I golf other than whom Im already currently with. I understand that its to speed things up. Please stop ruining the experience for my friend and I. Thank you for reading and understanding in advance.

Always a good experience at this golf course. Staff is always friendly and attentive. Course is in great shape, fairways are filling in nicely, real sand in the bunkers, and the greens are in great shape too! Always been a favorite course to play for me. Check it out!

Love the course. Always plays well and the staff is great. Food is decent and not overpriced. It seems like every whole here has a very distinct personality. The course will offer you a variety of options to test your skills. The relatively flat course but it does have water introduced on many holes. You should have ample opportunity to use your driver here at 7200 yards.

Very poor condition. Greens are almost unplayable. No hope for this course.

Hunting Hawk is in the best condition it has been in over the past 5 years.The groundskeeper and the Golf Professionals have worked hard to makethe course conform to the latest virus concerns and safety of all players.

Course was in great shape, greens in very good shape. First time playing course hope to return soon.

I am sorry we had a bad experience.This WAS NOT our first time in a 4-some, but it WAS the first time I was rushed to finish a game (starting on hole 2).We played a few weeks ago (somewhere else)with an 8:10 tee time on the first warm sunny day Of the spring. It was crowded—we weren’t told to rush and we had several groups behind us.I did not see the marshal speak to the groups in front of ours who teed up multiple times and caused us to become bottle necked (we also watched the 4-some in front of them hit more than one off the tee when their first shots went in the woods). They probably didn’t get to warm up because the driving range was closed. I hope we were treated the same as the other groups playing on the course and we were not being singled out because there was a female in our party. I hope women are treated equally at hunting hawk.I understand there was a tournament in the morning and they had scheduled a party of 2 on the wrong day so they had to shove them in somewhere. I just wish there was better communication from the start.The group of 2 behind us made a comment (as we waited for the group ahead of us to get far enough ahead), they said “we aren’t here to make friends, we are here to golf”...I wish we had the option for them to play thru. I am not sure if they complained at the beginning because they saw we had a lady in our group and they assumed she was going to suck (she played an incredible game). I think we would have been happy starting on the back-9 or given other options (Like letting the group play thru).What would have happened if we walked? I don’t think there would have been enough time. What if it was a group of 4 ladies?On a brighter note...The cart seemed clean and sanitized from covid-19 which was appreciated.I am sorry this was a bad experience. Maybe everyone is on edge due to the current pandemic, but this is a time where we need to be kind to one another.

Great, green are getting a little ruff, really hot out there today!

It is incredible how this course has steadily declined since 2006. It used to be a great venue. Management has lost the plot.

Very disappointed with this course and the scheduling of tee times. 3 groups of 4 players were followed by a group of 2. This created a bottleneck right at the beginning. The golf director Jeff Staton, was riding around the course moving players around (even after they had already teed off their shots) and telling other groups to play quicker. We were told on the 2nd hole that we needed play quicker, bc we (a group of 4, that included a lady hitting from the ladies tees) played the hole for 20 minutes and holes needed to be completed in 15 minutes. The only problem was the group in front of us was still visible to us and our shots were getting close to them. At one point the group in front of us told us to slow down. Well, we played an unenjoyable paced 8 holes in an hour. We did not get to have fun and watch each other hit any of our follow up shots. unfortunately im not sure we will be returning to play this course. I understand the golf course wants to make money and pack players on the course with tee times on top of each other, but I also paid almost $300 to come here to play with friends and family that I do not get to see very often, and I felt so pressured to hurry through the game. Next time its gonna be Top Golf or another course altogether. The course itself was fair. Ive played nicer for cheaper. At one point i spoke to a couple other really nice guys on the course and they were displeased with how they were treated as well. Their tee times were booked incorrectly and jeff staton made them play the back 9 twice bc there was a tournament starting. I spoke with the jeff, the general manager after finishing the game. Told him about how the first 9 were a disappointment and all he did was offer condolences and said he appreciated that we hurried up. I was very surprised, bc we live in a world right now where customer satisfaction is very relevant, but evidently jeff staton and Huntington hawk feels differently. Hoping that this review helps anyone else avoid the disappointment that we dealt with today.

The course, the practice range and putting greens are deteriorating quickly. The manager and the staff are rude.

Worst course I have ever played never seen a course in this condition and still have ppl play and pay full price

Overall amazing course to play in the area. Greens were great and weather cold but definitely a go to course to challenge anyone

NAWIC annual Golf Outing. The club is always helpful with making this event wonderful.

Staff has changed. Terrible service. Marshall was pushing our group when there were several groups of 4 infront of us. What golf course books groups of 4 every 5 minutes and expects the pace of hole to be under 10 minutes. Very unprofessional marshall and experience. Thought the problem was fixed with Hunting Hawk but of course I was wrong.

Great venue and staff. We hosted a benefit golf tournament at Hunting Hawk and the event was a success. The staff at Hunting hawk were great in facilitating planning, event setup, and tear down.Special thanks to Smitty and the pros in the golf shop, and Justin with Food and Beverage. I look forward to our next opportunity to host an event at this beautiful course!

Nice course. Things get a little tougher on the back 9. Take your time and enjoy!

Everything was pretty wet because of all the rain we have had. Nevertheless, the fairways were nice. The greens were sanded and a little slow as a result. All things considered, the course was in great shape for this time of year and given the amount of rain.

Staff and club and pro shop are great. The course, barely OK. Been playing HH for over a decade. It was an awesome course, great layout and walkable. This is the worst Ive seen it. The tee boxes and fairways have improved, however, the greens have a lot of issues with the weed growth. Not worth the full price.

$65.00 to play this course is robbery. The fairways and greens are in very poor condition and it appears that the course maintained at the bare minimum. It reminded me of the old Spring Lakes, although not quite that bad. I only gave it two stars instead of one because the staff in the clubhouse were pleasant. Play the twilight rates or play elsewhere unless you enjoy overpaying for golf.

Course is a nice layout, in hardwood forest. Clubhouse and pro shop are very good. The course suffers from winter kill in the fairways, and the greens need some work. Overall, a good experience, and a good challenge.

Golf course has made it through this hot summer pretty well. Better than some of the others we have played in the RVA. The greens had some spots in them from unfixed ball marks I guess from people not fixing their divots. Pro shop was well stocked and staff was great to work with. Range balls are priced a little high but I guess with the grass tees at the range it is what it is. Overall a good experience. We will definitely be back soon, always a fun course to play.

Worst 50.00 Ive spent playing golf in a long time. The club should have given us a heads up on the greens being full of weeds. No second cut of rough only fairway and very thick rough 1 yard off of fairway. Will let everyone know not to play there.

Great course has some difficulty but still a great course

The worst golf course I’ve ever played. It used to be great but they’ve lost all the greens to crab grass and are even cutting the fairways into a links style layout on some holes. It looks like wild hogs have had their way on low areas where it’s extremely wet. Other golf courses in the area aren’t affected like this with all the rain. I don’t know what’s going on there with management but it’s not good. And to make matters worse, they’re not competitive with their pricing. Still higher than most. I wouldn’t pay $10 to play this course now with the conditions there. They should close the course.

Listen, if youre a golfer who shoots under 80 consistently, just dont play this course. Its in the worst possible condition. You never get a reasonable lie and the ball does not react to the golf course in a realistic way. The last round I will ever play there was last week. The greens had so many weeds that every putt just bounced like a game of Plinco on The Price Is Right.The rough was long and challenging, but also became unrealistic at a certain point. I missed a fairway by about a yard with a 2 iron on a par 4...in the first cut...and the rough was up to my knees...I know were not really allowed to complain about rough since its a standard part of all courses, but come on...Several fairways have large patches of rough placed seemingly at random and right down the middle of the fairway. I hit a huge drive (huge for me...it went probably 290) on a par 5 on the front, and ended up right down the middle of the fairway in rough past my ankles...I ended up shooting about 80 or 81, a pretty high score for me. I hit the ball decently all day but I felt ripped off as I drove away from the parking lot. I felt like it was a course that was designed to be unfair. Because the golf course itself lacks character, they resort to tricking golfers into shooting higher scores. Its a sad thing that is true about many public courses, but I had better hopes fro HH.If I could give this course a rating of less than 1 star, I would.

I love this club! Jeff, Smitty and the rest staff are all top notch! Definitely a must visit!

Was treated horribly by upper management, will never return

Great course. Played with In the Ruff Golf group 2019

Course is getting into great shape, fairway grass is coming in nicely. Greens are also in good shape. Price is right, :-$30 for 18 with a cart. Plus a shot of Cuervo at the turn is always nice!Cheers

What a disappointment!!! I was a HUGE fan of the Hawk and would often tell my golfing buddies how nice it was. Not now. The fairways looked as if the middle had been stricken by a brush fire and the greens had more holes from ground Hornets than the cup!! Has any maintenance guys been on the 2nd green in the last 5 weeks? Come on. No golf course etiquette by the members and apparently play for $100 a putt because it took forever to play what should have been a 2.5 hour round. Bad form. Has Hunting Hawk just given up and decided to just wait for the developer to come in and level the place? Seems like it. Horrible. Will not be back.

Slowly deteriorating into farmland.. was once a highly respected public track that was challenging and well manicured.. the 08 crash really hurt golf in the RVA

The players and owners destroy the course. gizzilion unfilled divots and unraked traps. will never play there again

This is an above average public course near Short Pump that you can play for around $50 on the weekend. Theres nothing overly special about it, but it is a nice track with some interesting holes. The greens are well maintained bent grass. The clubhouse offers a decent selection of golf apparel and accessories. There is a modestly stocked bar and food menu. The practice facilities are not robust and range balls are $7.

Great shape! Had a great time!

No one is enforcing pace of play. Gave up after 11 because wait time per hole was getting ridiculous.

Great course. Greens are quick, sandy.

I will not being going back to this course anymore this year. The greens were full of divots. Fairways were spotted with dead grass, looked awful. I dont know if they are just not putting much more money into it because they will be shutting down some time in the near future or what. There are several other courses in the Richmond area better than this one for the price!!

Course layout is intriguing but a very poorly trained and experience staff. Conditions are average. Dont come for any level of decent service. The only time you will see the staff is to pull you off the course for an overly protective superintendents desires. Having spent 7 years in golf course management its no surprise the course is losing popularity and desire.

Decent course, was still very brown and you can tell that they are going to close soon.

Mud Wasps everywhere on Greens do not play in summer

Great course for the price

It was in a little rough shape when I was there but remember that they didn’t charge full price so no foul.

Always enjoyable. Tried Fling golf recently... It was tough

Fairways are great but the Greens are fairly marked up. Overall it was a very enjoyable round.

Course is in great shape! Staff is outstanding.

Greens good, fairways coming in, cant say anything bad for a public course

A soccer park by the name of Poor Farm Park exists here. I dont know about the gold club.

Greens are in great shape. Fairways are good.

Golf course isnt too demanding but its longer than most in the area. Good mix of risk/reward holes.

Course in good condition. We played on Sunday and was a little slow but not awful.

Course conditions fluctuate. Far too expensive. Has a few Mickey Mouse holes where trees or tree limbs block part of the green. Not ideal for walkers. They layout is adequate as is the use of the natural terrain and landscape. If it cost $20 less, Id add an extra star to my review. New Golf director Mr. Staten is a boon for this golf course.

Needs work on fairways and some greens

Another public course taking themselves way to seriously! Their practice green requires you to purchase a bag of range balls ($10) in order to chip. You cannot use your own balls nor other range balls hanging around. Its just a practice green folks! Next you might get an up charge for getting an aisle seat on the golf cart.

Best public Course in Richmond....Managed & Ran very well...Enjoyable

Decent course and good price

Nice gold course

The course is in terrible shape, especially the greens

Great and well maintained golf course and friendly staff

Great course, great location, nice people.

People were great, course was good for 20 December

One of good course in Westend of Richmond

I set out to play every golf course in the richmond/ fredericksburg area,and so far this has been the most fun and well kept golf course so far,and ive played 10 already.the golf course was impecable ,the layout had so many different looks in every hole,the rough was well manicured and the wispy stuff made the golf course look amazing.im writing this on the 23 july 2013. oh and the price was perfect.

Course needs work. A bit overpriced.

Greatest on the planet

Nice place...beautiful course

Terrible conditions waste of money

Crabgrass in the greens and fairways

Played very well

Awful condition

Bugs... driving range had a million. Maybe it was just a bad day

Very beautiful course

Nice greens

Closing down.
