Flat and opened course

My first time golfing at Algonkian and noticed immediately that they had a friendly staff, military discount and nice course for winter conditions/ temperature. Plenty of deer running around the course. Very hard to lose a ball it's a flat wide opened course along the Potomac River. But the ground was kind of marshy.

Nice winter option

For mid-January, the course was in very nice shape. Everything was mowed down, smooth and clean. It was cart paths only which was appropriate. Every drive came up with mud, but my shoes were clean after the round. Damp but not sloppy. Greens putted well. Great value.

Paid for 18, was only allowed 9

So I hope to try this course again when it’s a bit drier, everything was water logged when I played. However, I paid for 18 holes on the golf now app and was only allowed to play 9, but was still charged for 18 and had to pay a separate charge for the cart. The staff were very friendly, but still frustrated that I paid $80 for 9 holes and a cart.

The leaves are everywhere this time of year

I usually enjoy playing Algonkian because it has a moderately challenging layout, but they keep most of the areas under the trees mowed. This makes it easy to find your ball and keeps the pace of play moving. However, today it was windy and leaves were blowing everywhere. I lost three balls just from the leaves and several members of my foursome lost even more.

Absolutely loved it

This is defies one of my personal top three courses that I have played. The settings were beautiful, the grass perfectly cut and the deer walking the course was cool to see too. I am definitely coming back to this little gem. :)

Good conditions, but too crowded

The course conditions were good and it’s flat so walking friendly for the most part. The course was packed and the pace of play terrible. Took almost 3 hours to finish the front 9. The threesome in front of me booked at 2:30, the 2:40 group never showed up and I was in a foursome at 2:50. I waited for the threesome at every hole but they weren’t bad. They waited for group ahead of them. All carts have to be in by 6:15pm which is very odd rule for a northern Virginian public course. I’ve played most of them. The starter took my cart at 10th hole and I had to use their pull cart. I finished 14th before it was too dark. No refund. Reserve much earlier in the day if weather is nice and you’re playing on a weekend or federal holiday.

Slow Pace and sub par maintenance

First time playing here but was a fair price on GolfNow. Take this review with a grain of salt if you want but it’s honest. I went on Columbus Day so maybe it was more packed than usual, but still the started could have helped out by grouping better or delaying tee boxes. Pace of play (sadly) gets an F. Was waiting 5-10 mins each hole. The course has a lot potential. Again not sure if it was the day or what but the fairways were like roughs and the roughs were like weeds. This is unfortunately for me a “you get what you pay for” municipal experience. It’s not for me. I’ll stick to the member courses.

Miserable Course Conditions

First off. Was not notified the back nine was closed until the turn. The staff was extremely rude at the end of the round after I brought the cart to the parking lot as I saw multiple carts parked next to cars. Let’s get to the course. Every green was pretty much a bunker. Just drifts of sand and aeration. Now if I paid 20-30 dollars for this I wouldn’t care. But 46 dollars for a 3:40 tee time with these conditions is an absolute disgrace. Will never come here again.
