Nestled in the foothills of the Catoctin Mountains about 15 minutes from Fredricksburg, Glade Valley Golf Club has been selected as a top-100 golf course in the Mid-Atlantic region by Washington Golf Monthly. The Jim Reck design, which opened in 1990, has a nice mix of woods, water, natural habitat and sand traps that will test golfers, but the golf course isn't overly difficult.

Overall good! The people we were paired with were smoking weed and had some anger issues. But as far as the rest of the experience it was good!

Early spring conditions

Due to rain, it was golf cart path only. Have upgraded to GPS on carts. Well welcomed.
Gps also has golf logic green angles and slopes.
Better than most gps systems.

February Golf - Will take it

Had the day off and was looking to play since the weather was fair. The course was good. All the tee boxes were moved up which is understandable. Course was still in good shape. 1 of my favorite courses even though I'm about 40 minutes away.

It's a fun track

They added GPS to the carts. On the holes with blind shots it shows you the group ahead of you and when it's clear.
