Algonkian Golf Course

Well is was dry and not really good condition on fairways but most was not bad paist

Overall the course is in good condition, except the bunkers are very inconsistent, one hole will have mud/hardpan in the bunkers and the next will have fresh sand (it seems that only the holes in view of the clubhouse get the sand). The course provides a challenge without being punishing. Being a muni, the pace of play can be slow, even on a Wednesday. With the GolfNow price, it is well worth it.

Had a great time playing this course. Good conditon, wide open but still challenging....Go try it.

Slow pace on a Saturday. This is the second time I've played the course and both times had a problem with the starter. First time he gave away our tee time and we had to wait another hour. This time, we show up and there are no carts. He keeps yelling that we need to start but he gave away 10 carts to a large group that wasn't teeing off for another hour. Not the way I want to start a round. Shame because the course is a pretty good value.

Great course. I will play here again. The course was in great condition. You MUST put your ball in the fairway or you will be pitching out of the trees. Plays long but has large greens. I can't say a bad thing about the staff, the course or the conditions.

When you arrive - you are greeted by knowledgeable and friendly people from cashier to starter. They all make you feel like you belong there. The course was well maintained. No pressure to hit or wait ever the round was 3hours

Reading the reviews from a few years ago I was somewhat expecting a less than stellar visit. Contrary to expectations, this was a great course to play. Some of the fairways had minor rough patches, but the greens were honestly some of the best I've played in northern virginia, and I do get to play some of the "premier" courses around here. Staff, including the starter was friendly and ran the show well. Food availability was good. Course itself presented a decent challenge and as advertised the deer were in abundance. Won't hesitate to play more rounds here.

I play Algonkian often. I'm never disappointed. Stay out of the trees and score well on a course whose condition improves every year. A very good value, a great friendly staff, and a pretty nice to hang around. It's hard not to like Algonkian.

This was the first time I played this course and found it very enjoyable. The greens and fairways are in very good shape and helped me overcome my lack of course knowledge.
The staff was friendly and made me feel welcome. I will definitely play the course again.

Algonkian is located in a regional park, and is adjacent to Trump National Country Club. The access road, Algonkian Parkway, is beautifully decorated with flowers and trees. The course was not so difficult, but some of par-3 holes exceeded 200 yards and were challenging. Some reviews said tha playing would be very slow and the entire course muddy, but that was not the case with us. I generally had a good time with two young unskillful guys.

Been wanting to play here awhile, finally got out for a round. Everyone in the foursome was amazed, for the price it's a great layout. And for how simple it appears, it was actually pretty challenging. Trying to hit full shots out of the rough most of the time is a no-go, bad shots are punished but not to an extreme degree. My only gripe was about 75% of the traps I'd say were more like mud with a dusting of sand on them, very few were playable (fortunately I only found two with my shots). I've always thought if you're not going to maintain traps, don't have them. But definitely a great course for a great price, I'll play again soon.

I really like this course. For the price, it's one of the best bargains in the area. The course is well maintained and is fairly challenging while still being suitable for players of all levels. Unfortunately, this can lead to a fairly slow pace of play, but the starter and rangers do a decent job of keeping that at a tolerable level. I'd definitely recommend playing here.

This course does not drain very well even though it rained over a week ago. Mud balls, greens we OK but fairways could use some work, some dry patches, inconsistent bunkers, they really need to put new sand in some of the bunkers . Also they were renovating hole # 5 (par 3) and they put the pin on the fairway with no yardage to indicate how far it is.

The course was in great shape considering all the rain we have had lately. Fairways were clean, rough was very difficult due to no mowing and lots of mud. Greens were long and fuzzy but definitely puttable. We had a great time even tho it took forever to play. It is a great course to walk which many were doing adding to the time.

It's a fairly long, straight course that is in need of care. Everything was over grown; greens were slow, rough 5-6 inches average, & fairways wouldn't roll much. A few holes had some character to them but for the most part just straight. For the price you pay, go to a higher quality course that charges the same or lower rates.

I pay for 18th holes, but only go to play 3, it was so slow, there was 3 groups of 4 some, that I was told to let go trough, before teeing off.

Then there was this lady and a dude, who have no bussines being on the golf course yet, it took them, about 20 minutes to finish the first hole.

even longer for the second hole par 5,
infact I tee off at 10:33

and by the time I finish the third hole it was 11:30,
I decided it wasn't worthy, as the groups one hold ahead of them were all so slow. also.

If you want to play this course, your better chance is to try after 11am, anything before that you would be stuck there for a long time.

To clear out, the line above:
when I say that they had no bussines being on the golf course, everyone if you pay your fee, should be out there, but if you never touch a club, take a lesson or two, and then try it, just be nice to the group behind you, let them trough and you can enjoy your day, and play as slow as you want.

I was not offer to play trough, even though I was there for the 3 holes I play, courtesy, is the key.

Had a great time. This is one of the better courses around the area. Course is nice staff is friendly and rates are reasonable. Keep up great job. Will def be coming back with friends.

Pace of play was 4:25 for 18
on a Sunday.
Traps had a local rule rake and re drop

Fairways were spotty

Greens slow and lots of pohana

Fairly open and forgiving.

The course was in OK conditions, but it was very wet. Played after work and had a 4:00 tee time. Finished in about 4 hours. Paid $31 so not too bad

Great day for golf when there is a slight breeze, 85 degrees and sunny. First time at this course and was a great first experience. Course staff very nice, clean carts, and even cleaner greens. Lots of deer throughout woods.
