What are impressions of various golf clubs in northern virginia. New to area and want to join somewhere. What do you think of courses? What are entrance fees and approx dues?

I heard a lot of clubs have various introductory deals going on given the state of economy.

The Country Club of Fairfax (CCF) is an excellent club located on 123 not too far from GMU.

Most members are not pretentious, holier than thou, silver spoon in their mouth, jerks. It's more of a low-key, congenial, family oriented environment and atmosphere.

The membership is largely comprised of humble, self-made folks who have done well in life by earning it the hard way, and who love to play and have a good time. Members become friends quite quickly and the friendships extend to things outside the club - business, other sports, dining out, going to the theater, hunting, fishing, trips, and vacations.

The club has undergone an extensive wave of significant infrastructure improvements over the past decade to include a new pool and pool house, new work out facilities, tennis courts, parking garage, etc. etc. So the facilities are very modern and you won't be facing any huge assessments for quite some time.

The Golf facilities, course, personnel, and grounds care are all top notch and excellent. The course is challenging and true. Your handicap will hold up on any other course in the world. There are plenty of opportunities to participate in match and tournament play. And, the golfers are the kind of people you enjoy being around.

And unlike every other club in the area - CCF has a Men's Grille - as in Men Only. This makes for a very brotherly, close atmosphere and various groups meet there daily for lunch or a beer throughout the week.

At CCF I feel guilty sometimes - having such a great time hanging out with the boys and playing golf. It's like I'm a kid again, skipping school with all my best friends, and we have our own huge playground.

CCF entrance fees and dues are very competitive with the other clubs in the area and yes CCF is competitive on the various introductory deals.

Keep in mind though, what's truly important in a club is the members, the culture, and the atmosphere.

So hypocritical,condescending, know-it-all, irritating limo-libs are excluded? Where is GB supposed to get her golf membership?

Oh...hello, Ty...somehow I knew you'd be here.

Springfield Country Club on the other hand, prides itself on having the most pretentious, holier than thou, silver spoon in their mouth jerks.

CCF has plenty of Lacey Underalls running around at the pool for sure. OMG there is some talent up there.

If you are considering CCF you need to look at International CC. Much better Golf Course with similar amenities. If you play both you will join International, same membership just different and better course

You're full of it Al. International is a dump. Have you seen the Clubhouse? Who is your decorator - BenniHana?

Come on now Lacy! Let's be honest International club house was just renovated and is bigger and better than any comparable club in the area. Now if you meant Chantilly CC I see your point.

I've been thrown out of much better country clubs than CCF. There are no geese to whack at.

Have you ever eaten the food at International? I've had better food at the ballgame, you know! Their steaks still have marks from where the jockey was hitting it.

Seriously with the cost of sending kids to college who the hell can justify spending 1000's on a stupid club membership. You have to have quite the stockpile of cash. Working people - not a chance. BTW what is the annual $$$ to belong?

Class A Golf Membership w/Stock - $25K-$30K
Monthly Nut - $1K-$2K
Monthly Food Minimum (excludes booze) - $100

Hanging out with the guys, golfing, drinking, gambling, poker, checking out the talent - Priceless

Springfield and Fairfax are similar. They are both family freindly and not old school stuffy clubs. Costs are similar. Roughly 30K initiation (payable over several years) and then 600-700 per month. Springfield has done a lot of renovating lately and they have brand new tennis and health club facilities. They are also in the middle of a multi year golf course upgrade. A good club to consider. I think Fairfax has a better bar for hanging out and having drinks. Springfield's menu needs to be upgraded and it's bar could use a refreshing too but can't go wrong with either.

Belle Have is a step up in terms quality and pretentiousness. It's also twice as expensive. Mount Vernon is a step down from Springfield and CCF. The course is rough and the facilities aren't nearly as nice but it's cheap and a very freindly place.

My advice is go with whichever is more convienent to drive to because you'll use it more if it's easier to get too.

Springfield Golf & CC has mostly blue collar workers.

Tennis pro Austin is sleeping with a member .

pics or it didn't happen

more details will assist, however............

Springfield is really nice. Family friendly. great, well-maintained golf course, really nice Tennis and Fitness facilities and pool. The only issue is their food. It's not restaurant quality. Everything tastes like it was heated up. Like your eating at Marriott banquet hall.

They have a good pastry chef but the main menu is boring and the food is bland. Most members go to Mike's or Austin Grill first to eat then head to Springfield CC for an after dinner drink. They recently renovated the bar area. It's now fairly non-descript. It lost some of its warmth and it looks like a hotel lobby but the service is good and the people are friendly.

I really wish they's upgrade their menu and food quality.

I agree completely about the food. Average at best. Too bad but I've been a member for 10+ years and it hasn't changed.

Trump National, but most of you broke dopes don't have that kind of cash.

That's odd. They just did a reovation of the club house last year. Didn't have fireworks for the 4th of July in 2018 because the club house was no ready. Had fireworks this past summer and they were awesome. Best I have seen in years.

Yeah, those girls are nova regulars. Sure they are.

And as if that second one would ever respond that happily to even a moment of your eye-fucking.

Ask the owner of Rev Pilates, she will give you details
