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.

Really nice staff. Organized. Nice layout. Just a little “tired” - some of landscaping needs some attention. But definitely worth the price. Great location.

Son's 19th birthday round with dear old Dad

Nice course, good price. A lot of area golf courses seem to have suffered from a brutally hot summer and some torrential rains, and conditions here were no exception. But a nice layout, immersed in nature, hill and trees everywhere. Man working the inside desk did not exchange pleasantries, kinda gruff. Speed of play was good even though course was pretty crowded. All in all a fun day out, I would return.

Good track!

We enjoyed it! Back nine much better than front nine. Good red tees for my boy. Good options for others.

Perfect everything, except my putting

Love this course, especially playing it from the blues. You hit every shot in your bag and can reach every hole but on a tight track with tricky greens and blind shots.

Course was fine, lack of water was not

The course is a good value for what you pay, and the pace was Excellent for a weekend. On a day approaching 90°, it was unacceptable to not have water on the course or ice/water available at the bar free of charge. They’re far more likely to have someone get sick or worse from heat exhaustion than COVID, these procedures need to be reviewed
