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.

Good course, bad starter
I've played this course several times, and usually enjoy the challenge that it brings. The only complaint I had about this outing was the starter, he was extremely rude when I approached him to check in (and I had a tee time)!
Good value
Course condition was OK. There are few up hill holes that make this coures fairly challenging.
Nice even in the winter
This is the third time I have played this course and it was excellent. The only drawback was due to cold and wet weather conditions course was extremely wet but the scenery was great and the staff was great. I will be visiting again
Friendly staffs
Had a wonderful time, pace was good. Helpful starter with pin location, wonderful staffs. Great deal (prices).
Great fairways and greens. Course offers a challenging layout.
Excellent course. Challenging layout. Especially the back 9. Very well maintained municipal course. Compares favorably to more expensive courses. Beware the subtle and obvious changes in the well maintained greens. Otherwise they can snag potential birdies and pars from your round.
After only one round I found it to be
one of my favorites.
poor maintenance
Too many leaves on greens and fairways. I hit pretty good drive shot right in the middle of fairway.... but I couldn't find the ball because too many leaves on fairways!! Ruoghs were too long to hide the balls!!
I couldn't even check in on right time because the tournament was moving slow!!
I will never go back to this place.
OK course for the money
Greens were in very good shape. Some fairways need some work and appeared to be growing new grass. As usual, pace of play is pretty slow.
be prepared for hills and leaves - fall golf
course is in nice shape. if you walk it is a goat trail up and down the hills.
Greens were great but course was wet after 4 days of rain!
Played Pohick many times and have always liked the course. Got off early and finished in under 4 hrs. on a holiday. Worked out great.
The course was very nice than summer
The course was very nice than summer and better maintained then before. And nice day except the front group was very slow and there was no ranger.
Nice course
Super tough greens, challenging fairways. Looking forward to try again.
Got right out. Excellent greens.
2nd time I have played this course. Had been over six years since the last time. Lots of elevation changes and blind shots. Greens were in excellent shape. Would play again.
The great course to have golf outing
The beautiful course to enjoy the golf with friends and family.
But the management needed to give some attention on the staffing, we had to wait to teeing off every holes. it took us little more than 5&1/2 hours to golf 18 and we saw a Marshall all day but did not governing the golfers at all. Parked his cart middle of wooded area did something and left the area.
I am sure that people are coming to the course to have a great time there, the management need to govern Marshall to their job to golfers pace up.
I wouldn't recommend people to go their unless they fix the staffing issue, nobody wants to wait around to tee off every hole.
this course is great for mony
this coures has great staff frendly and coparative
First timers need to see the course before playing it.
Pohick Bay GC could be a good golf course but there are too many blind shots, too many shots uphill, and punishing for the ladies (120 yard par 3 to a green 40 yards above them). The first hole is a completely blind tee shot to a small narrow fairway that doglegs right - an unfriendly start to the round. It appeared the golf course was receiving a lot of rain, it was soft, grass was growing very heartily in places and dead in others. Greens were sneaky difficult, I do not think anyone in our group had a straight putt all day.
This course has tight fairways
Tight fairways, uphill walks on almost every hole (I walked), great exercise. Finished in 31/2 hours on a hoiliday Monday morning as a twosome with a foursome in front was very pleased.
Great value and challenging
This course is a great layout with unforgiving woods. Greens were in decent condition though fairways were torn up just a bit. I have played this course over 2 dozen times, and always seems to return for a great day of golf.
Course is challenging and tight on some of the holes
Tight on some holes but challenging, moved at good pace, tough par 3's
Fairways Under Repair
There should be an alert on GolfNow. Fairways are basically mud/dirt with a few patches of grass. Cart path only on entire course due to repair work. Greens are nice.
Course was great just a few weeks ago. Would have recommended it then.
This course needs attention
Fairways were in very bad shape and the greens were not much better. Very disappointed in the condition of this course.
