About
Pohick Bay Regional Park Golf Course in Lorton has been one of the area's most popular public courses since it opened in the early 1980s. Playing at Pohick Bay is like playing two golf courses in one, with a front nine that has long, tree-lined fairways and a hillier back nine that features a variety of doglegs and water holes. It is a definitely a shot-maker's course so be prepared to use some creativity and some thoughtful strategizing doesn’t hurt either. The constant up and down of the golf course provides uneven lies and a number of blind shots. The dramatic terrain also makes it a tough course to walk. Trees frame most of the holes, demanding accuracy but also providing a peaceful and secluded feel. Pohick Bay Regional Park Golf Course is popular amongst locals for being one of the most challenging and yet also one of the most affordable courses in the area.

One of my favorite local courses
Great course that I play many times each year. This regional park golf course will challenge your skills as there are a lot of forced carries. There are several intimidating pin placements and a lot of decision making to be had. Having said that there are several chances for birdies. It's a course you have to play a few times to appreciate.
Thanks so much for the kind words, david1lapierre. We look forward to serving you again soon!
First time playing in DC
I’m not great and often worry about the course being too nice, “professional” player…that was not the case. Everyone was helpful and was paired with a person that was very familiar with the course. The facilities were nice but not too bougie. Great course, would play again when I’m back in the area
Really appreciate the rating. We’d love to learn more about what we did to earn it!

Good challenge
There was a frost delay but the starter did his best to get people off when he could. Staff is always very friendly at Pohick. Greens were in very good shape and fairly quick for late fall. Bunkers and fairways were good. Some tees needed work but overall pretty good. Pace of play was fine. Pohick will remain in my rotation of NOVA courses.
Hi abbaker, thank you so much for the review. Have a great day!

Thank you so much for your review. We value your feedback, and hope to see you back soon.
Pohick Bay
I have not played this course since the late 80's it hasn't changed much. Had a great time and brought back a lot of golfing memories. I would recommend it for a beginner. A great course to find golf balls everywhere.
Thanks so much for the kind words. Have a great day!

Good course
It was a good course, nothing great about. 1 negative is that golfnow and the pro shop double booked our tee time so next I use golfnow.com I’ll probably call the pro shop just to make sure that doesn’t happen again.
Thanks so much for the kind words. Have a great day!
