    I love this place!! This review is based on my cousins wedding I just attended. This venue is sneaky! Like super cute. The scene is beautiful especially when the weather is working in your favor. The package she got was open bar for the whole nice and buffet line meals. Her guest list was 125 people but there were a few empty seats ,which is to be expected because people randomly cancel their invite last min. But the deck provided such a gorgeous view for picture taking. The photographer took the bride and groom into the woods to take more wedding shots. There is a huge dance floor in the ballroom for dancing. Food was good and drink were good! This wedding a was a hit and the staff? We're more than accommodating! We enjoyed their assistance throughout the whole event! If I could have done a big wedding? I definitely would have done it here! My cousin chose well!

    Beautiful place. Lots of space. Perfect for your wedding, if you love the outdoors.

    A great place in Howard County to take a walk, explore nature, see an owl (during the day!) and just generally chill out.

From the moment we arrived on Thursday evening until we checked out on Sunday morning, every single member of the staff made us feel welcomed, valued, and completely taken care of. The venue itself is absolutely stunning. The grounds are beautifully maintained, the golf course provides a breathtaking backdrop for photos, and every part of the resort is elegant, warm, and inviting. It was the perfect setting for such a special day. We had a very large wedding party, and the staff handled everything with professionalism, kindness, and incredible attention to detail. They went above and beyond to make sure every guest was comfortable and every moment was seamless. Their hard work allowed our family to simply relax, celebrate, and enjoy being together. We are so grateful for each and every person who helped make the weekend unforgettable. The food was outstanding from beginning to end. After celebrating all night (I think we managed to drink every bar out of tequila and Miller Lite!), it was wonderful to wake up to an incredible breakfast the next morning. It was the perfect ending to an amazing celebration. Five years later, our family and friends still talk about that weekend. The beautiful accommodations, exceptional service, gorgeous wedding venue, delicious food, and unforgettable hospitality made it an experience we'll treasure forever. Thank you, Turf Valley Country Club, for helping create memories that will last a lifetime. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect place for our daughter's wedding. #TurfValleyCountryClub #DreamWeddingVenue #MarylandWeddings #WeddingWeekend #GolfCourseViews #WeddingReception #ExceptionalHospitality #SupportLocalVenues #ForeverMemories #FiveStarExperience

    Note: review for Original golf course and outside food service only…read more I really enjoyed my time here playing Turf Valley Resort's Original Course. Bring very walkable with good elevation change is tough to do but it was pulled off very well here. Greens are good and tricky. I definitely want another shot at this place because I got a little greedy at times. Just a good mix of everything. There are a couple of holes where a left to right shot is mandatory from the tips, but otherwise there's a great mix of the tee in terms of shot shape needed and well placed hazards. This is a little more wide open off the tee than the other track. Lots of good people and players out here. The range for members is on top of the hill and has a bent grass level and a Bermuda grass level which is a fantastic way of having a grass range. Otherwise you are next to the parking lot hitting off mats. But this place has a good set of practice areas. The food was solid and the service was fantastic. Definitely a place I would join if it were more convenient for me. I would love to get invited back!

Not simply because he was running late, but because the house (castle/waiting room/party room) was absolutely filthy. I was really taken aback by a business looking like this, even if it's a business that works w/ animals. When we got there, the owner and assistant were on a ride w/ another group. Then the group we were supposed to be riding with were an hour late, so we had to wait for them. It was just annoying, although Steven (owner) was friendly. When we walked into the empty house it looked like a construction space, a hen was walking around the inside and I even saw it poop IN THE KITCHEN! Things finally turned around when I hopped on Sherman (my white horse w/ black spots). He was a greedy little thing and ate up all the grass but he was a great horse. Steven immediately put ppl on the horses and taught us while we were riding. He was a straight to it teacher and I liked that. He definitely knows what he's doing when it comes to animals. He took a bunch of pictures and videos and sent them to everyone in the group. I'm thankful to have such awesome pictures that didn't cost us extra. I'm giving 4 stars despite the filth because Steven was friendly, welcoming, and I enjoyed the experience. Tip: -don't eat there if germs bug u -don't arrive early, there's no point -yes, you're in the right spot, even though it looks a little funky on the outside

He also never redeemed our Groupon. He has repeatedly messaged me and begged me to remove this review and has even reported it to Yelp to try to get it removed. Not only do I stand by my review but this Steven Strasburg owner has proved himself to not only be completely unprofessional but also desperate and dishonest. My advice: TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY for your business instead of accusing people of posting fake reviews or saying "it must've been another place". This is the ONLY time where an owner has not only not apologized but tried to say I'm posting for the wrong Castle Strasburg. How many Castle Strasburg horseriding places are there in Midland, VA? SHAME ON YOU!

The website was a bit 'wonky' and threw errors when I tried to reserve a tee time online. After a quick call to the ProShop it was discovered the tee time did book, and I just couldn't see a website confirmation. The ProShop staff were always cordial and helpful answering questions. The golf carts are fast, there is a slight speed delimiter going downhill. When we got to the 9th hole there was a sign to call in an order and have food ready. Upon arrival to the ProShop, the girl seemed new and did not get our full order, but after a few minutes everything was ready to go. The greens were recently aerated a couple weeks ago so we had some bumpy putts and odd breaks. The roughs were not impossible to hit out of, and the bunkers were full of sand as would be expected. Overall, this place is a high quality public golf course that is well maintained for the amount of volume it receives. On a mid week morning the parking lot near the clubhouse was almost full. The driving range is grass, and not artificial - true practice hitting. In a couple aspects, Waverly is on pace with some private courses, and surpasses some public courses in a few areas. Try it and find out for yourself.

    Deciding who to leave your baby with is without a doubt the hardest, most stressful decision we…read moremake as parents. You just want them to be safe and comfortable. We chose Goddard after trying others and found that it, and owner Sheeba Mathew have no equal. Ms. Sheeba knows the name of every child, every parent, every sibling, and in some cases even the grandparents of every child who is currently or has ever been a member of the Goddard family. Beyond keeping our children safe and comfortable, Ms. Sheeba and her incredible staff of administrators and teachers provide a wonderful foundation for kids to learn and grow. There is very little teacher turnover, which is great because it gives stability at an age where kids tend to really need it. When you see your kids eyes light up as they run into the classroom and hug their teachers, you just know you've made the right call. The education provided at Goddard is also outstanding. My 5 year old son has learned not just reading and numbers but science and history. He's learned about the world that surrounds him goes well beyond his Maryland zip code. I've watched him thrive in this beautiful, amazing environment. It's been incredible. This week we say goodbye to the school we love. Next week he will start kindergarten. His years at Goddard have prepared him for this, and I am beyond grateful. He is ready to achieve great things. Though both his heart and mine break at the thought of leaving, we know that we will remain part of that special community Ms. Sheeba has created and we remain eternally thankful for it. So, if you're reading this and trying to decide where to place your child that is safe, comfortable, nurturing, educational and fun, look no further. You'll find a home at Goddard and you won't be disappointed. And Ms. Sheeba, if you're reading this, THANK YOU!!!
