Different

This was a different type of course for the northern VA area. Courses in the region generally have a lot of slope to them and are wood-lined to where if you're offline just a bit, you're out of bounds. This course was quite the opposite. I found the course very flat (not in a bad way). I think the slope was 121. And while the holes are tree-lined, you'd have to be pretty far offline to lose a ball. There's still a requirement for accuracy off the tee to score because even though you'll find your ball in the trees, you'll usually have to punch out. Approach shots were usually into slightly elevated and relatively smallish greens. Greens don't have a ton of challenging undulation to them. Speed control was the difficult part for my group. On such a hot day, most course's greens are very fast. These greens were in perfect shape, but the ball just doesn't roll out like you think. A couple more rounds and I think I'd figure it out. Tee boxes, fairways, and greens are in perfect shape. The rough is thick, but playable, if you can find your ball. I'll definitely come out here a few more times. We had a great time.

Challenging Course

This course was challenging for me as a beginner and for my friend who is a well seasoned golfer! This made for a great day for everyone! The wildlife on the course is amazing! I spotted a bald eagle around hole 15. There are lots of deer and groundhogs…that are completely unbothered by human presence! I really enjoyed the course-staff was friendly the clubhouse has a variety of beverages for 19th hole fun!

Great Course and Great Customer Service!

Algonkian is both challenging and is in excellent shape. My ball sat up nice on the Bermuda fairways and the greens were rolling nicely. The course manager went out of his way to make us feel welcome and told us a little bit about the history of the course as well. Great round of golf and great customer service, we will be back!

At check in, the course does not consistently recognize prepayment of a hot deal on GolfNow. If necessary, have your confirmation email handy to show proof of purchase.

Will be back

Course layout is mostly straight holes. A couple carries over water but nothing difficult. The rough is fairly thin so hard to loose a ball in it. Its not punishing but get a little bit off the fairways and you’re likely dealing with trees in a addition to the rough. It’s a long course. Greens were in pretty good shape and like most courses- fix your ball marks PLEASE!!!

Incredibly slow weekday play!

This course needs better Marshall course management!

Single players not paired up with doubles and golfers waiting until players were on the green for par 4 and 5 holes!

We did complain to the Marshall on the course as we were waiting on every single hole due to slow play!

However the price especially for Seniors during the week can't be beat! And the course is in great shape, probably why it's so popular!

Great Course

Course was in really good shape and will definitely play here again. Only issue is the gnats were really frustrating on some of the holes. Not sure what if anything can be done.

disappointed in the course!

we were rained out and the course would not issue us a rain check since they said we booked through tee off - the rules say if we started then the course is suppose to issue the rain check we stopped after 9 due to lightning and thunder! sure would be nice if courses knew the policy instead of sending us away.

Nice local county course

Algonkian has a nice layout, mature trees and the greens and fairways are in great shape. Pace is a bit slow and there wasnt a marshall to be seen. But, overall i like it!
