Pohick Bay Golf Course
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.

I love Pohick, but…
I’ve been patronizing Pohick for a while, however the tail end of this summer has seen the course deteriorate to a point that I need to write this unfortunate review.
Great Walk
Had the pleasure of being paired up with two staff members of the course for 18. Learned a lot, saw their passion for the course, and had a great walk with these guys. Can't wait to come back and see all their hard work come to fruition.
Been playing at Pohick for almost 20 years, these were the worst conditions I’ve seen.
Too bad because I really like this course, but will give it 6-7 weeks until it recovers.
Greens were burned out and diseased. Same with tee boxes. Fairways were okay.
Bad Greens
Half the greens were completely sanded. I sympathize but no one made us aware before round and there was no apology or discount. Full rate for current course condition is very unfair. I will stay away until conditions are fixed.
The greens
5 of the greens were covered in sand. Not just the normal top coating but they were nearly bunkers. The other 13 greens were in bad shape with 30% or more covered in brown spots.
Pohick Bay Golf Course was TERRIBLE!
Pohick Bay Golf Course was TERRIBLE! With no warning, charged us full price for “hard as a floor” greens (one was all sand & another was full of wasp holes; all the rest were burnt) and the bugs!! You could not focus or ignore the biting flies, gnats, and mosquitoes. They should be at half price until the at tleast get the course up to Par (pun intended). Not going back.
Beautiful but Challenging
The setting is beautiful but the course is challenging because on the front 9 there are very few pins that can be seen from the hole and it’s very hilly. On the day we played the course conditions were really poor. The greens were in terrible shape —more dirt than grass and the fairways were barely “fair”
