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.

Hard but nice course
Course plays very long. Usually play from whites but that was a tough challenge here. Heavy elevation changes throughout course. Driver has to be top notch to score well

fun and challenging course. super fast greens probably due to no rain in over a month. greens are normally fast, but not this fast. greens have lots of breaks/ turns. very fun to putt. the rough is always penal at this course, partly because it is a hilly, undulating course.
Thanks for the feedback, John! We're glad you enjoyed the course and found it both fun and challenging. The fast greens can definitely add to the excitement. We appreciate your insights and hope to see you out on the course again soon!

… too expencive for course conditions (my opinion 😀). Only good greens … but too much unrepaired ball marks - may be a general problem by users , they do not enough realize that they are harming themselves 👎🏽 !!!
+ : layout is good and very varied, greens (remember: unrepaired ball marks)
- : gas carts, no gps, very bad fairways
Not again for me.
Thank you for your feedback. We take your opinion seriously, and are working everyday to improve the customer experience.

Pohick is a solid course for money. The layout runs through the edge of Pohick regional park and woodlands and nature are abundant. Out of bounds markers delineating someone’s backyard are nonexistent at this course though accuracy off the tee is still paramount. This course has rolling terrain and blind tee shots so some local knowledge is appreciated. There are a couple “bomb it and hit a recovery shot to the green holes” but this course will reward accuracy over power. The greens were quick but receptive and downhill putts can get away from you. Pace of play may be an issue with a 5 hour round being the norm during peak weekend hours. Bring your cooler - no on corse beverage cart should be expected.
Thanks for the thoughtful review, mtreppel! We're glad you enjoyed the natural layout of Pohick and appreciate your insights on the course's challenges. We’ll keep your feedback on pace of play in mind as we strive to enhance everyone’s experience. Hope to see you back on the greens soon!
Grossly overpriced
Poor conditions, not worth the $75 they are asking for. This is a $40 course at most.
Alaaro, we appreciate your feedback and are sorry to hear about your experience. We're committed to providing value and will take your comments into consideration as we work to improve our offerings. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us.
