East Potomac Golf Links - White Course

Getting back into the sport now that the kids are off at college so I’m definitely a bit rusty. I found the white course to be perfect for getting back into the swing of things. Easy check in, nice layout, forgiving in most holes, wish I had played it sooner. Will definitely be playing this course again.

Only big concern is there’s no one to keep people moving. the pace of play is very very slow

Fun quick course to play on a casual time. No stress. The cicada killer wasps on the green of the 5th hole makes this one a bit uncomfortable to putt though.

Took 2.5 hrs for executive 9 holes.

Most tee boxes had not been mowed.

It's inexpensive to play here but the course condition is not great. The fairways are still Grey with little grass, and the course doesn't drain very well so there are a lot of wet spots even though it hadn't rained in a few days

Wish they had some maintenance over the winter. Goose poop every square foot on the course.

Played the White course 9 holes. Executive course with challenging par 3’s and short 4’s. Greens were slicker then what I’m use to in Florida which made it fun (especially on a windy day). Fairways were way better than expected…. Tee boxes weren’t bad either. Now for the important stuff. The cheeseburger took me back to the city course I grew up playing and the hotdog was the 3rd best I’ve ever had on a golf course. Merch selection inside the pro shop was great. I’ll be back to play the other courses on property next time we’re in town.

I’ve played the White Course at East Potomac a few times this summer and now into fall, and it’s a great value for the $22 price. Close by in northern VA your best 9-hole bet is probably Jefferson District, but it’s harder to get a tee time there. I also love that East Potomac has a great driving range with the Tracman software. Basically get the TopGolf experience if you want for way cheaper.

As for the White Course itself, a mixture of decently challenging par-3 and par-4 holes. They do a good job of moving the tees and lions frequent enough that I don’t feel like I’m always playing the same exact course. Also for what it’s worth the greens roll pretty fair even with many folks leaving ball marks in (please fix them when you can everyone!). Made a nice 20-footer to save bogey on the challenging par-4 on 6.

I would definitely recommend this to anyone who likes a quick, decent, and fun course. They also offer push carts for $5, can’t go wrong there. And the amenities are nice, they have water stations and a portajon as well as a solid food/grill and drink area in their pro shop area. I’ve also played the Red course which I love and will be trying the Blue soon.
