Pohick Bay Golf Course

Not impressed for the money we had to pay. Attitudes in the pro shop were not good. Had questions and the responses were kind of like...owell..that's just the way it is.

Not returning.

I was really disappointed in the pace of play. It took 4 hours to play 13 holes. At one point there were 3, 4 somes at 13th tee box. After my golf partner and I completed 13, we decided to leave the course. 18 holes of golf should not take 5-6 hours. 2 solutions to what appears to be a common theme for local courses in the area. Stop over booking tee times, or enforce a pace of play on the course by the rangers. Completely unacceptable when you spend $60 to play a single round of golf.

Course was in decent shape, lots of trees and very hilly for walkers. This particular Sat was very slow; 5.5 hrs to complete the round. We asked the drink cart attendant to inform the warden of the slow play, and he didn't come around until the 14th hole, and said the group in front of us was on pace for 4.5 hr round. Don't care about the time as much as keeping up with the group in front of you, and there were three open holes ahead of us. The one challenging Par 5 has a temp green, which made it a drivable Par 4, but the maintenance they are doing will help improve the Par 5. Overall, good day but slow at times.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. Overall the outing was goo. Being early spring the cours fairway grass still needed to fill in. The greens are in good shape rolling true. The 13th green is still undergoing a face lift. I have played this course year around from tolime to timr. I would recommend it to anyonel.

First time at Pohick Bay, and really enjoyed it. Considering it was early March, fairways and rough were in nice shape. Tee and approach shots are often up or down; lots of terrain change. Once you get to the green, good size and fun to play; fair amount of slope, but makeable looks most of the time. All around the course, a clear sense of attention to detail (e.g., the water/trash stations at the tee boxes were never in disrepair and always clean). Nice touch. Those we met in the pro shop were pleasant (the lady who checked us in literally went in the back to ensure our discounted price wasn't too high!), plus we paired with one of the volunteer "marshals"; nice guy. Will definitely go back.

Fairways were airrated but the course was in pretty good shape Sone tee boxes were thn

The fairways are forgiving but the greens are challenging. Their are a couple blind shots of the tee but nothing you can't negotiate. The P of P was really good, finished 18 just under 4hrs. Great conditions and friendly staff... might become my new home.

Pohick Bay Golf Course is a challenging course overall. Some of the fairways are pinched narrow, so use your straightest clubs;better to be short and straight than long and wrong. The course runs through dense forest where errant shots can get gobbled up. It's a test of your shot making skills. I enjoy playing Pohick at least once a month.

Front nine played a little slow as two walkers took their time. Instead of playing the back nine, the staff let us play the front nine again so we wouldn't have to wait for the slow walkers. Second nine took just under half the time to play.

Tough little course, lots of out of bounds, small greens and lots of dog leg fairways. Fun challenge, need to play a couple times to know what to expect.

Slow play on the Holidays! Well not officially a holiday but it sure seemed like it. SLOWWW play all day long. Hit it, wait .... hit it, wait. There was no way to get into any rhythm at all. We had 2 3-somes in front of us (4-some) and a 3-some behind us asks if they can play through. Are you serious? Apparently golf etiquette goes out the window on this course. Oh yeah, we were hit into on 2 holes as well.

Course is in great condition though for the time of the year.

Layout is challenging and playing from the blue tees made it even more. Course needs investment to improve conditions. However, sand traps were not even raked although there were plenty of staff doing nothing.
