Love the day out at the Gonk
The course look good. The fairways were in general very playable condition and greens the same but wish players fix their divot some more. The rough on the side could need some cutting, hard to find balls when in the area. Staff always attentive and manage the start of the round well.

Thank you for your review. We appreciate you taking the time to give us a rating. -Algonkian Golf Management
A Little Pushy
Marshall / ranger was a little pushy on pace on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Thank you for your review. If you'd like to discuss your experience further, please reach out to the course manager at 703-450-4655 x105.
Stay on the fairway
The course was well maintained.. we played just after continuous rain so the green needed trimming but I have played here before where the green was well maintained. Try to stay on the fairway.. the rough is very rough. The pace of play is not great but if you are enjoying nature, this is the place to be. You occasionally see lots of deer.

Thank you for your review! We hope to see you again soon! -Algonkian Golf Management
Great day to play golf
Sun came out later part of playing and made it more enjoyable playing the course. The condition of the course generally on par with some tee boxes needing TLC. Staff always are friendly.

Thank you for your review. We appreciate your feedback and hope to see you again soon! -Algonkian Golf Management
Cpo
Course was very wet and muddy due to all of the rain
Not the fault of the course of course.

Thank you for your review! We have received a lot of rain lately, however, we should be drying out with the nice weather this week. We hope to see you again soon! -Algonkian Golf Management
Beautiful golf course and the staff was extremely helpful especially the starter. The course is not overly difficult if you keep your ball in the fairway. The rough here was atleast a stoke and a half penalty. On several occasions I had lost balls. I would have given a higher rating if the fairways had been cut. Overall a good course and would play again.

Rough is to long
The rough needs to be cut shorter.
If you are not in fairway it is difficult to find your ball.
You have to be right on top of the ball to find it.
Too many lost balls that should not be.
Also slow play looking for your ball.

Thank you for your review. Our maintenance crew is hard at work trying to keep up with mowing the rough. We did receive several inches of rain recently which has contributed to the high growth. We hope to see you again soon. -Algonkian Golf Management

Thank you for the 5-star rating! -Algonkian Golf Management
Wonderful course
I enjoyed the ample time of last tee. Only thing I didn't like was that cart return was rather early, even before the sunset. I played only 5 holes, and could have played 2 more holes with twilight left. Except that it was very good.

Thank you for your review! We appreciate your feedback. We structure our closing time based on the sunset time for that evening. This gives us enough time for golfers to safely return to the clubhouse with ample light. Thanks again for your review and we hope to see you again soon! -Algonkian Golf Management
Course is in great shape for all the rain we had the previous week
Algonkian was in great shape with all the rain we had the previous week. The rough was well mowed which made it easier to find balls. The greens were also in great shape and rolled true, but don't break as much as they look. The par 3s are a bit too long to be truly fun (190-200 yards), but overall, it is a nice layout.

Thank you for your review. We appreciate your feedback and look forward to seeing you again soon! -Algonkian Golf Management
A wonderful afternoon in the forest
It was like a picnic in the forest. Deers and squirrels were around, and the trees are all green. Fariways were quite soft and felt like a carpet with a gentle breeze. My wife and I really enjoyed the 9-hole game.

Thank you for your review. We are excited to learn that you had an enjoyable round! -Algonkian Golf Management
Playing Too Fast?
I've never been accused of playing too fast until now. First tee time of the morning, can't go out early as a single because I "might run into the maintenance crew." Mind you, the crew was basically.done by then. They were no where to be found. So I have to go out with a 3some. I had no intention of being on the course for 5 hours or more. This course is notorious for slow play, that was why I had the 1st tee time. So I asked the 3some on hole #2 if I could go ahead (they were walking & I in a cart) they said OK, no problem. I'm playing at my pace, not overly fast, but not slow. I'm approached on #8 by a marshal who asks "when was your tee time? Why did you leave the 3some? Why are you playing so fast?" I've never been told I was playing too fast, nor Why I would leave a group. I was stunned. I won't be back. Oh by the way, cut the rough. You might get faster play if you could find your ball! It's not worth the money to be there over 5 hours.

Thank you for your review. We do have a policy, especially on the weekends, that the first group of the day must be at least a group of three and preferably four. Our golf maintenance team needs as much time as they can get in the mornings to get the course prepped without interfering with golfers. We'd like to speak with you further about your experience. You can reach the golf course manager at 703-450-4655 x105. -Algonkian Golf Management

Slow play
Conditions are improving although on course greens are slower than the practice green.
Pace of play remains very slow. The group in front of us had two clear holes in front of them but player assistance takes no action.

Thank you for your review and feedback. -Algonkian Golf Management
Slow pace
The pace here has become very slow and player assistance don’t seem to take any action to improve matters.

Thank you for your review. Without knowing when exactly you played, we are unable to investigate what exactly happened with the pace of play during your round. We have marshals on staff everyday and their job is to monitor the pace. If you would like to talk more about your experience, please contact the Golf Course Manager at 703-450-4655 x105. -Algonkian Golf Management
Thank you for your review! The rough can be pretty thick this time of year as the Spring rains and warm weather really kickoff the growth of the Bermuda grass, but our maintenance team is hard at work keeping up with it. As we begin to see a drier stretch of weather, the thickness of the rough will decrease. Thanks again for your feedback and we hope to see you again soon! -Algonkian Golf Management
