great course
Course was in excellent condition. Greens and fairways were very good. Much better than last year. My only complaint relates to the carts. Definitely need new carts. Friendly and cooperative staff.
Awesome Historical Course!
Had a great time with the wonderful staff at Langston! Course layout was challenging, greens are in great shape, food is out of this world and great practice facility. Could easily spend the whole day there enjoying
Needed Course in DC
Not the greatest of courses but it's a valued necessity in the DC. Hope it says open for the sake of being able to play a decent round of golf in the DC area. Enjoyable round.
Visiting
I just love this course. Staff are top notch. Especially the starter...
Playing at historical Langston GC
I enjoyed my round however as a suggestion please put sins with hole numbers on all holes. I got confused and I know other golfers did also.
This course was in good shape
Rain impacting our round and this was the first of the season so tough round. Good course. Poor pace of play.
Good time
The course was in good shape and the pace of play was good, will come back
Great Experience.
The course is recovering from the winter, greens are being aerated and fairway still needs recovery from the winter. For a comprehensive review go to:

Was asked to pay for a cart even though the deal stated cart included.
Horrendous conditions
Couldn’t tell what was rough, fairway, mud, dirt, whatever. Absolutely terrible conditions. No cart paths, so everyone has to drive in the fairways.
Very friendly environment ❤️
People from the reception up to the course and golf cart return area are very friendly and accommodating, guests would surely feel at home.
This place is what it is. Fairways are pretty chewed up. The 10th hole runs along the driving range with no net. Good luck finding your ball among 5,000 plus range balls. This is basically a practice facility that charges $60 to play a well below average course and it's absolutely not worth it in my opinion.
Mixed Emotions
While the pace of play is usually good and while the greens were immaculate (but slow) the fairways were overgrown with wild onion and left much to be desired. I actually thought I saw someone from the kitchen staff riding around the course (not sure if he was harvesting for a meal).
Good course
Staff is great; conditions of the course are excellent and challenging and I will Definitely play the course again!!
No grass on fairways, sand in bunkers have too many rocks
