Golf Fairfax is pleased to share details about the upcoming Dogue Creek Stream Restoration Project at Greendale Golf Course, an initiative led by the Department of Public Works and Environmental Services (DPWES) in collaboration with Fairfax County Park Authority.
The project is scheduled to begin on Nov. 3 and continue through March 2027. The restoration will include stream and pond dredging, streambank stabilization and stormwater infrastructure upgrades. These improvements are designed to enhance water quality, control erosion and sediment, reduce flooding risk, and improve the long-term sustainability of the golf course.
"This project represents a shared commitment to protecting natural resources and maintaining high-quality park facilities," said Carmen Giannini, Golf Fairfax Director of Agronomy. "These improvements will benefit both the environment and the playing experience for our golfers."
Temporary Course Impact
To complete the restoration work, several areas of the course will be temporarily affected:
- Hole 5 will be closed from November 2025 to March 2026.
- Hole 6 will be closed from November 2025 to March 2027.
- Hole 7 will temporarily play as a Par 3 between November 2025 and March 2026.
While two holes are closed, Greendale Golf Course will offer a 20% discount on regular-priced greens fees. Golfers may experience temporary cart path detours, tee box adjustments and construction-related noise near Holes 16 and 17. For safety, players are asked not to retrieve golf balls from construction zones.
Once completed, the project will enhance both the playability and appearance of the course, creating a more resilient and sustainable facility that reflects Fairfax County’s commitment to environmental stewardship.
Project updates and additional information will be posted online as they become available at the Dogue Creek Stream Restoration website.
Greendale Golf Course is located at 6700 Telegraph Road, Alexandria. Visit the Greendale Golf Course website for more information.
