Fun course, slow pace tho

The course was fun but being stuck behind two slow groups stretched out time out over 5 hours. The greens were also punched so putting was hard but I can’t be too mad about that. The only real issue was the pace and being out that long causing you to lose steam

Nice place for the money

First time playing here. The course is fairly easy with mostly straight fairways and not a lot of elevation change. The fairway and greens were in nice shape with the only blemishes on the greens being peoples lack of divot repair.

Fun course with great views of DC

This is a great option for player of all skill levels in DC. Fair price with great views of the Washington monument. Course is long enough to allow players to hit all the clubs in their bag. Pace is an issue though so be prepared for long rounds. Condition of bunkers and greens could be better. Not a bad option for a relaxed but somewhat challenging round with friends.

Decent local Muni

Really wish it was a little better taken care of. Sand needs replacing. Only about 1/5 driving range ports have rubber tees for the mats. That feels like it would be maybe a $50 purchase in total. It’s good but there are some small improvements that could be made that would really up the quality.

Golf options

While in DC for a wedding I decided to check it out. There are very few choices for golf in the area and the East Potomac was quite beat up. Very little grass in the fairways and unkempt tee boxes. On the plus side were the greens, firm and fast, the way I like them. If I play golf in this area again hopefully this course is in better shape. All the staff were friendly and helpful, not they’re fault the course is rough.

Really bad condition

Hands down the worst condition of any municipal course I’ve played and it’s not even close. The fairways are all dead and dry, even in season. Random flooding and water. Some bunkers were just dirt and rocks. It just felt like it’s all in a state of disrepair. DC deserves better, especially since the location is unmatched. With some work this place could be incredible.

Big Disappointment

The lack of a drainage system really hurts this course. There was standing water everywhere, especially in the fairways. After hitting shots that I felt were good ones, I found that they were in a puddle of water…this happened 10-12 times drink the round.

Ever since they changed the fairways to Bermuda grass(?), you don’t hit from grass in the fairways until we’ll into April (yesterday, I was hitting from soft dirt or mud.

Overall, a very frustrating round…I drove from Annapolis, MD just to play.

SLOW: 3 hours for 9 holes

The cost is too high for this course. Go elsewhere unless you’re in DC and can pop out for a quick round. It was not that today.
