Langston
It's my favorite course in the Northern VA and DC for simple reasons: 1) Course is perfect for my game: challenging enough but not beyond difficult, it's easy to make tee time, the pace seems to be quick in the mornings, the food / grill is quite exceptional and the staff is friendly / kind, I like the trains that comes by the first and last tee box every few minutes. I like the historical photos on the wall in the club house. No frills -- just golf.
Great first experience, I will definitely be back.
Langston Golf Course - Fantastic
It's my first time here. I was lucky to get the early 7:00 am Tee Time on a Saturday morning. Our foursome finished in 3hours 59minutes. The course and greens were in great condition. The pace was obviously incredible. It was hot out even at the the early hours -- the course had cold water out for us. My highest rating is for the staff -- they exceptionally friendly. Next time, I will try their food in the kitchen. It's a small modest course it has everything I need for a round of golf.
Love Langston
I live in NE and Langston is the closest course. The investments made over the past year and half have transformed the course. Love it and the staff are the best.
Great course, beat expectations!!
The course and the staff were great. Great day all around!!
My home course
I grew up at langston gc....first time at langston 1958...5 yrs old
Public golf at its finest
For less than $40 walking, there is no better deal.
Needs a lot of TLC!
First time playing here and unfortunately I probably won’t be back! The pro shop gentleman was super nice and gave me a quick history lesson before I went out, but that’s where the excitement stopped. Was so disappointed, I didn’t even stay to try to the food that I heard was so good. Some work on this course would really make this course feel like an actual DC staple. The greens were really nice, but the fairways were like someone’s unmaintained back yard! Half of the holes wasn’t numbered and the layout is pretty confusing, no real flow! And if you play callaway balls, you might want to change it up on hole #10 because it’s right beside the range and the range balls are callaway… good luck!
Pace of Play is Terrible on the Weekend
The course is great, the staff is great, the food is great…the only issue is the walkers on the course. The course is walkable however, walkers should not be allowed to walk on the weekends. There should be a better job managing the tee times for walkers. Pace of play is terrible
Great course, but…
I love this course. So much history and roots in the community. But the pace of play this past weekend was really bad. Luckily they let us just start on the back 9 which elevated some the wait.
