No Water
I was walking and I depend on the water stations being full on the course. It was 90 degrees and the staff put out absolutely no drinking water on the course. This is unacceptable and someone should be held responsible for this.
Always a good course on a weekend
Gloomy day but only drizzled. Was able to finish the 18 hole in a little over 4 , mainly played single on back nine and front nine with a twosome that was playing in great pace. Staff were nice and accommodating.
For a Municipal Course it is Fantastic
First time playing here. Played Saturday morning, 8:40am. Nothing particularly special about the driving range, chipping green, and putting green, but the course at least has all 3 and they were decent size and in good condition. That’s rare these days and this time of year for public courses. Pace was fine, we hardly ever waited and it was brief when we did. Your is very generic back and forth and not super exciting, and the condition wasn’t anything amazing either, but compared to all the other public and semi-private courses I’ve played this season which are largely in sad condition, this one felt top notch. Greens were super slow, but at least they had grass on the whole green and no invasive weeds. A few holes on the back 9 felt a little tight and hokey for longer drivers, but it added some fun to the layout. Set within the broader Algonkian Regional Park along the Potomac with folks taking morning walks and stuff on paths through the course, the setting was very peaceful as well. For the price ($78) on a Sat morning, I would drive the 45 min back out to play this course again, no doubt. The vibe is great, and the course is in great condition for muni.
Good course for the average golfer. Good course for seniors.
Generally open course. Usually have playable balls even if not in Fairway. However, I only played front nine.
Nice course - another rude staff member
A morbidly obese old man who works there frankly has no business interacting with the public
Incredible Value
Such a great deal for a beginner course that is well taken care of, great staff, and just a really beautiful area
Nice course. No waiting
Other than the rude guy where I bought a driving range ticket, A+

The staff here are very good. The course layout is long but fair. The conditions are great now. A good round at a great price.
Great value for price. Layout is very simple and the course isn’t very challenging, but it’s kept quite well, though the grass can get a bit long if you come a few days before they mow. Really impressed.
