Excellent Course and Staff
The course was great! The staff were friendly, and very helpful on reading the greens and letting you know about hazards. Lots of construction going on, but it didn't interfere with play. Overall A+.
Good course
This was a nice course for $20 twilight time. The course has construction going on around it so the courses are different than gps apps have them laid out, but there were signs. I do not recommend walking the course (I'm young and very much for walking rather than riding), but I saw many walkers. My only major complaint is that they did not have me down for a tee time that I signed up for and paid for through GolfNow. So if you want twilight play, just show up to the course at 3:50 and its first come first serve.
Pros: fairly easy layout for an intermediate golfer. If you drive long then you'll have a chance for some Eagles on the par 4s and 5s. The fairways were nicely cut. The rough was medium length. Bunkers in play were in good shape (except the ones under construction of course). Almost all of the tees were in good shape. There is a driving range and practice green. There were water coolers every few holes so nice for a hot day. There were a couple of bathroom buildings on the course.
Cons: Greens were pretty roughed up. Probably not the club's fault but more on players shuffling their feet and not repairing ball marks. The cart paths are pretty rough at times but that's just cause it's an older course. Course is frustrating for a beginner. There are a lot of woods/dense weeds to the right and short of tee boxes so you can lose a lot of balls if you don't hit fairly straight and get it off the ground. There isn't any water on the course which some would say is a pro, but I think it adds to the beauty of a course. Staff was semi friendly.
Solid military course
Fort Belvoir has 2 full 18-hole courses but construction to build an Army museum is impacting play, closing most of the Gunston course. Clear signs make it easy to get from one hole to another during re-routing. Fairways and greens are in good shape, although some tee boxes are temporary and some just need work. Bunker are hit or miss regarding quality. Overall solid value for under $60 including cart.
Ph
Greens in very good shape. Tee boxes not so much. Many bunkers playing as under repair. Bring your own fluids..cart girl seen on hole one and never seen again.
Renovations
Ongoing renovations but overall great price for the course!!
Confuse
Confusion start when you trying to get to the golf course if you are not Military personnel. Then there were some kind of course renovation going on so they piece together an 18 holes out of 36 hole course and there were no sign to tell you where the next tee boxes are. Over all condition is ok if you do not mind some constuction mess. I probably wait until they finish all the work before I go back.
The course is well designed
A great and fun course. Designed to moderate golfer. The tee boxes to the fairway were in good shape. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
Great Course
Course having some construction activities but did not slow play or causes any inconvenience at all. Course was in great condition and played very well. I very much enjoyed my round of golf and would highly recommend this course to anyone in the area. We also ate at the grill in the Club House the wait staff was very friendly and food was first class. A great experience and will plan another round soon.
Play Ft Belvoir Next Year
Course is being modified due to be museum construction. Course was not in great shape and the bunkers were terrible, as if they've given up on them. Try it after the renovation is complete.
Could be very nice
The course is currently under construction, so you play a combination of holes from the 3 nine hole courses to create a full 18. Overall the the course could be very nice, but the tees and fairways are in awful condition. The greens are in surprisingly good shape, but are so slow it takes a lot to convince yourself to hit it hard enough.
Hopefully this course will live up to its potential when the renovations are complete.
Good Course
Belvoir is currently under construction so the holes are split into three different 9 hole sections. The quality of the course is still very good, even with the construction (not to get confused, the holes that are open have zero work being done on them.) I played after 4:00pm and got the $20 rate which is a steal. The twilight pace of play can be a bit slow at times but is generally quick enough to get through 18 with a threesome if you start before 4:30.
Not how I remember
Joined FB for a year in the early 90's when they added the other 18. Was top notch then and had a nice club house. Nothing's changed in 20 years other than things looking run down. It has a lot of potential and they are apparently improving things. Coming in the gate is rough but that is the military and how things should be. I will come back if the price is right....Bob.
It is under reconstruction
You have to go to the main gate to check your background, it takes at least 30 min.
You play 18 but it is very annoying to follow up.
Fairway is very aweful. Very dissappointed.
A work in progress
First off, know to add an extra 45 minutes to your travel time because a pass is required for civilians entering the base. Once at the course the staff is friendly enough and offer a lot of information on how to navigate around the facilities. Pay attention. Course is under redesign and improvements. Not any where near a complete product but will be a Gem when completed. Four sets of nine holes will be inviting.
Decent if you're in the area
I've played Belvior a few times with military buddies but its now public so I figured I'd check in out since I haven't played it in a while. The rate seemed fair, but its just not worth the $56 that they were charging the day I played it in my opinion. They are doing construction currently on one of the courses so the course route is kind of funny right now as well. Overall just decent...pace of play was solid though as it was hardly anyone out on the course early on a Sunday morning.
waste of money and time
This course needs a lot of help. Fairways, rough and bunkers were a joke. Appeared no one does any maintenance here. Myself and my partner were quite surprised at the overall horrendous condition. We agreed that at 44.00 we will never come back and laughed that even if offered for 20.00 we still wouldn't be back. Course is also undergoing construction making it rough to navigate. Sunday play time 5 hours.
Under Construction
One of my favorite courses in DC to play, but the ongoing construction project has seriuosly impacted the overall play. The new set up is way too confusing and it seems that the course maintenance has suffered. I love this playing FB but I think I'll wait until the construction project is completed before I play here again.
It took 35 mins to get into the post
Please let the people know this course under construction and took lot of time to get into tha gate .
Stay away!! Horrible fairways, no yardage markers, course under construction
The two courses are under construction so you play 9 holes of each of the two courses here. The fairways are not taken care of. If you hit a FIR on most holes you are hitting off of dirt. The greens are filled with leaves and full of un-repaired divots. I will never play here again. Very disappointed
Not for beginners
A tough course which your beginners/high-handicappers will not do well on. You must be straight and have an excellent short game because of tight fairways and smallish greens. Overall conditions are muni-average and rumor has it that parts of the course may soon disappear to make way for another military museum (like anyone needs that).
