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.

So-so course
It is an ok course for being county owned but it is pricey for the quality of the layout and the conditioning.
Good value for the money!
My friend and I always come to this course. Usually the pace of play is pretty good. When we played on this course, there rangers were available to push the pace of play. They even allow you to play earlier if there is no one ahead of you, just so that the pace of play is excellent. I would recommend this course!
Thoroughly enjoyed the experience
I played as a single at 2:00. They got me right onto the course at my tee time. If you're not great off the tee it's probably best to use something other than the driver on most holes with accuracy being much more important than distance. The back 9 is a lot more open.
Great value for the price...
Great course…great condition…enjoyed it very much…will definitely play there again...
course
good course condition, challenging for new golfer good green and fairway
Plan to return
This is one of the nicer public courses in the area even though it is a little far from the city. For a first round it is quite tough due to some blind shots and some possibly mislabeled distance markers. I wish they would provide some better details of the course for first time players but overall a great course in very good condition. I look forward to playing this course again.
gp;f course hopper
Awesome golf course!!! Fairways and green have been well maintained. I will tell my golf buddies about it and recommend they play here. My second best score was achieved at Pohick this weekend ;-)
will definitely return
The price was right, course was in great shape, pace of play was right on! Staff was friendly and had good advice.
Fun and challenging
The course has an interesting layout with tricky greens and well manicured fairways and rough
Great course for the money
One of the best municipal courses in the area. Not very long even from the tips, but provides a fair challenge to both skilled players and hackers. Course is in very good condition for the amount of play it receives. I highly recommend it, especially for the golfnow price, I plan on putting it in my regular rotation.
An added treat is the many bald eagles that soar throughout the course.
The only complaint is that the bunkers need some work.
Great Value!
Great value for the money! We played on a Sunday afternoon, with great weather and the course in pretty good shape. Would recommend Pohick Bay to anyone who needs a quick tune up before heading to a more challenging course.
Nice course, awful pace.
The front 9 is very fair and fun. The back 9 is quite a challenge with a lot of elevation changes. The course was in very good condition and the greens were consistent. The rough is a bit tougher than it looks. It took a couple shots to realize that. The pace of play was awful. Several times, we were waiting for two groups to get through a par 3 and we had to wait on all 18 tee boxes.
Greeeeeaaaaaaatttttt!!!!
It was Greeeeeaaaatttt!!!! Bring plenty of balls, but then when you try to find yours in the woods you will usually find someone else's. That's why we call it the "Pohick ball exchange".
Great course
This is one of my favorite course, the fairway and green a very good condition and I enjoy to play here every time
Improving every year
I use to work in the turf grass industry so I understand what goes into looking after a course in this area. This course has improved every year over the last 4 years. The greens are so much better, fairways have better coverage, overall so much better. One of the better value deals I can get under a 30 min drive from my house.
The course has awesome features
Course in over all great shape. Greens rolled smooth , fairways are plush.
Short but Narrow Course in great shape
Difficult course, accuracy is a must. Conditions were great especially the greens. Friendly staff, I will play here again.
Great shape
The course was in great shape and the pace of play was awesome. The only negative, the bugs. They really need to figure out away to get them under control.
It's my home course.
Always OK. Park setting that's usually in good shape. Always like being there.
