Langston Golf Course

Bad maintenance of greens, bunkers, and fairways. Needs a lot of work done on the front 9.

Surprisingly the back 9 was beautiful and well kept.

Langston is operated by the same organization that owns East Potomac and Rock Creek, but doesn't seem to be as nearly as busy as they are. It's hard to see why because the course conditions are very similar and the cost is the same.

The clubhouse staff and everyone I encountered was extremely friendly and probably was the best part about playing here. They even had a youth program going where there were "hole advisors" that functioned like a caddy to tell you about the best way to play a hole.

The overall conditions were rough, but there are certainly bright spots. Tee boxes and fairways are in disrepair, but the bunkers and greens exceeded my expectations.

Nice wide open course. Great to refine your game. Not too long if you walking

Course needs some serious work. Greens were the bright spot as well as the sand traps. Excellent range and short game practice area

Great friendly staff. Course was like playing on blacktop. Pretty dry. Lots of hills, beware walkers

Played 7 years ago and it was much better. Now fairways of mud w decent greens. I feel like they are intentionally running the operation into the ground to turn it into a 9 hole course and a short course operated by a private org. Not sure about this but I know the quality has declined.

All aspects of this National Links course need improvement. Such a historic course deserves tremendously more resources so that improvement can take place. Hole markers, paths course and clubhouse in need of reno.

While the amenities are few and far between, the staff more than make up for it and are super friendly. The new driving range in almost without flaw, though the course itself has a few. Somewhat bumpy greens, some fairways that are a bit patchy in places (Though to be fair I went in early spring and I'm sure conditions will improve as the season goes along and the grass grows in). As for difficulty, this course is SURPRISINGLY challenging. Holes 11, 12, and 13 is the toughest stretch. Be prepared to lose some balls here, especially on 13 which is a par 3 over a pretty wide river, up onto a shelved green. All in all this is my favorite course in DC proper. East Potomac is too crowded and flooded most of the time, and Rock Creek Park hardly qualifies as an actual golf course. All in all a great value for DC residents and those visiting, especially on a weekday.

Played a round on a Sunday afternoon. The second we got there it was obvious that the course was either understaffed or simply disorganized, or both. Getting a cart from the starter was an unnecessarily long experience and he never told us when to go out and start. Once on the course, it was obviously neglected and run down. For the price we paid it was absolutely not worth the course conditions! Pace of play was a huge problem and was never enforced. It took me and a buddy nearly 3 hours to play 9 holes. Overall a bad experience and will never be coming back to this course again.

Very convenient place to play while visiting in the city. Dirt and gravel cart paths. Not a bad layout. I will play here again when I next visit the area.
