Overall Impression

Lake of the Woods is a great course for under 7000 yards. The staff is great (Ms. Pat). Course and layout is challenging enough. Pace of play can be slow because the retirees and senior play a lot (cost being the primary factor). Of the courses nearby, Lake of the Woods is the better deal!

Perfect day

Great day for golf. Challenging course, electric cart and staff was very friendly. Fairways were in very good condition and a couple of days of good rain will make this course a bargain. Will play again soon.

People are awesome. Greens and bunkers are in good shape. Fairways and tee boxes are a joke - mostly dirt and sand

Great course

I love this course! Staff is amazing and so are the golf carts. The fairways are doing great this spring and the greens very well kept up, hardly a ball mark on them. Highly recommend.

Can’t argue with the price

Although the fairways were in rough shape and no grass on the tee box, the traps were actually pretty soft. I payed 30 for 18 so I guess you get what you pay for. Very nice restaurant and the staff was very friendly.

Over all nice course for the value

Driving range would be nice but for winter golf the course was in pretty good shape. Greens were solid. I am excited to play this later in the year.

Winter play

Played on a sunny day at the end of winter. The greens were in fantastic shape. Different tiers in the greens made putting challenging and fun. The fairways still in winter growth gave extra distance on drives and fairway play

Great Course

This course gets better and better. It is a challenging course that will keep you on your toes. Well groomed and definitely well maintained. The maintenance crew are doing a great job with dealing with things outside their control—wildlife, rain, snow while the professional golf course management team keeps players moving. Love it!!

Great condition for winter golf

Greens were in great condition for winter golf in the mid-Atlantic. Probably the best in the area that I've seen during this winter season. Rolled true and fast, no bald spots or pitch marks left over. Bunkers were also in great condition. Sand looked to be almost brand new.

Tee boxes, fairways and rough were what you'd expect for east coast winter golf. But compared to the chewed up or downright mud conditions I've seen from other courses in the DC area this winter, this place was in great condition. You'll still find bald spots and wet areas but with rain, wind and snow this time of year, that can't be helped. I'll definitely be back.
