Improved.

Played the course in March and was very surprised that several greens were bad. I got a raincheck to come back. Most of the greens have improved since then, but 2-3 still need time. Played at other courses recently and many seem to have similar or worse issue with greens? Staff is great and the rest of the golf course is top notch. They mentioned they may punch greens soon.

Too pricey for the conditions

For the price, course should be almost perfect. Unfortunately, it’s far from it. I could play a similar course by my house a qtr of the price.

Fare not fair

Course has a great layout and is well maintained, but the greens are in terrible condition (hole 6 is the worst). You expect close to perfect condition for the price, but no. Worst part is that staff does not mention anything, so they charge full rate and you won’t notice until you get to green on #1, a little bit dishonest from my point of view.

Curious

The course facilities and layout were fantastic. However, roughly half of the greens had a pronounced fungus which made it difficult to either play or enjoy compared to the price. Overall, we were quite disappointed given the numerous quality options in the area for the price we paid.

Greens are dead!

Waldorf is known for impeccable conditions, and that is true for everything BUT the greens at the moment.

Beware on paying over 100$ for a round at the moment as 75% of the greens are dead and infected with diseases.

Good redesign

Good-1st time playing since redesign and the course changes are great. More open, several bunkers removed or moved. Lots of new chipping areas around greens. Changes on 4th hole are terrific. New par 3 on 16 is a wow. Bad-green speeds were uneven and some bumpy. A couple greens appear to be still growing in. Can't wait to play again when everything is perfect. Staff great as expected.

Great track, rough greens

Greens were very rough. Staff blames it on a fungus however all the other top courses in the area don’t have this issue. Disappointing overall.

Great course in poor condition

Played. This course many times, one of my favorite places. Unfortunately I would not recommend playing this right now. Something is going on with the greens. It looks like they painted them green. They are very slow and bumpy. The bunkers weren’t raked and there were many areas where the grass hadn’t been cut. Definitely not worth $250. Very disappointing experience.

Rough greens even though they said course was great; but everything else was great

Good and bad comments: The BAD: The greens were very rough. Apparently they've had issues due to weather since Oct/Nov. However, we played Celebration the next day and the greens were excellent there. The really frustrating part was that I called the course a week before we played and they told me the course was in great shape. I don't appreciate either being lied to or someone telling me it was in great shape when it was not. This needs to get fixed for customer satisfaction issues as well as proper ethics. The GOOD: This is a beautiful course. The layout is great and very enjoyable. It was challenging, yet very playable. The staff was very friendly. The facilities are very nice and new. The range was great with unlimited balls.

Green Conditions

As we had to pay full rate for the round at this course. The conditions of most of the greens were very poor. It was as though we were putting across green painted dirt. The head professional never mentioned this when we signed in in the pro shop and I do not think it warranted 250 dollars plus to play. The green fees should have been halved. Perhaps even Golf Now should review their pricing structure for this course at present because it did not warrant full price.
