East Potomac Red Course Review

A fun and enjoyable 9-hole course right in the heart of Washington, DC! ⛳️ The East Potomac Red Course is a great option for a casual round, especially if you’re looking for something manageable without a lot of distance. The course has a nice mix of holes and offers beautiful views around the Potomac.

I really enjoyed my round and would definitely come back. Great course for golfers looking to practice, improve, and simply enjoy the game!

You get what you pay for

Green fees were cheap for a par 3 course so I wasn’t expecting much but this course is awful. Patrons do not take care of the course or fix divots and ball marks. The tee boxes are very beat up and the grass is full of weeds. No rakes in the sand traps. We won’t be back.

Great for beginners

Other than the greens being rather chewed up, a great place for folks like me learning to play the right way.

VERY short distances.

Golf now sucks!

Golf Now has a terrible cancellation policy. Much stricter than the actual golf course which would have let me cancel had I booked directly with them. It's essentially a screw job for GolfNow to keep your money.
