Noticeable improvements with new ownership
Drastic improvements on the course since new ownership has taken over. From what I can tell, new irrigation systems have been installed so overall fairway conditions have improved drastically. Greens are really starting to take shape as well. Hole 10 has gotten a lot of TLC and it shows. Excited to see the continued investment by the new ownership pay dividends over the next few years.
Langston Golf
With the new management group, the course conditions have improved.
Worst pace of play/management I’ve seen
It took us 2 hours to get through the first 3 holes. Groups were just jumping on the first hole without a tee time, no starter to control it. Whenever we finished a hole we had to wait in line behind 2-3 other groups before we could tee off again. Overall the round took 6 hours and we stopped on 15. They don’t serve food or drinks past 5 pm. Overall a decent course for the price but the pace of play ruined it. Will not be returning
Local Go To
Course was not in the best shape but its April and it playable. Cant beat the convenience and the staff is always great, and the food is good too.
Nice course to play.
1st time I've been here, staff is friendly and the club is nice and clean. The course is really nice. Only draw back, there are no markers for red or yellow.
Avoid
This course has its purpose and once NLT is done with the reno it might be worth revisiting again.
For now I dont think I would consider this a golf course as much as its a muddy piece of land with some flag sticks in it.
Good public course, slowly renovating
They've been slowly rehabbing the course starting with the driving range. Better every time I play it. The price on golf now is higher than booking directly through the course website. You can also book $40 walking rates on the website not offered by Golfnow. Cart rental is how they gouge you at this course.
May be worth a second chance
The course was confusing since the holes and the women’s tee boxes weren’t clearly marked. So it made it a little difficult figuring out where to go. But I’m going to chalk that up to it being the end of the season here in DC and looks like course renovation. So i will revisit in the spring to take another assessment.
Great value for your money
Very forgiving course with an open layout. For 45$ you can’t beat it. Toptracer range is elite. Course itself wasn’t in great condition but like I said, can’t beat it for the price.
National Links Trust is falling short !!!!!
I only played this course so my 8 year old son could learn about the African American history of this place. The layout is great unfortunately no one cares about the conditions. To be in the nations capital and see how neglected this place is sad. I have nothing good to say. They spent money to improve the range. I’ts time to spend money on the course. It’s never going to change and it’s sad.
