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.

Beautiful greenery and cool layout

I enjoyed playing this course and was impressed by the lovely greenery throughout . The greens could have been faster, but I got used to them after a few holes. Strategically placed hazards made it challenging. My one complaint is that it is a bit unrealistically difficult for women. Long holes are ok, but some of the tee placements for the forward tees could have been closer to the holes . An easy fix to get more women to play (which should be the goal of any course :)

Not worth the money

Course is in awful condition. Even for a public course it is not worth the cost. Fairways are rock hard, like hitting off a cart path with turf on them. Many parts of the fairways and greens are barren with just dirt. You’re almost better off hitting from the rough as the grass is at least a little softer and more forgiving.

Rough

Not much good to say about this course. If you simply want to say you are playing golf, then go play it. No real cart paths, no signs between holes and only a few on a number of Tee's. I will say the layout has some interesting holes and some blind shots, having a GPS will definitely help. Greens were in pretty bad shape and FW's had bare spots throughout. I played with a very nice older man, so atleast the company was good. Won't be going back.

The course is fair

The course conditions has some ways to go. I’ve played it for years though not recently until July 2nd and it shows progress. I certainly would play it again however the green fee with cart was $57 on the Golfnow app and I thought that was a bit much for the shape it’s in. Oh well….

7-Some

Conditions weren’t great but not bad at all for a muni. Greens were in good shape and rolled true. Decent layout, a little short. Biggest issue is there was a group of 7 playing two groups ahead of us. Really wish the staff would do something to prevent this as this really ruins the day for the rest of the groups on the course

GOLFPASS Non-benefit

I rarely if ever use GOLFPASS or GOLFNOW but I did when I saw the email featuring this course in my email. I've wanted to play this historic course for sometime and thought this would be a good opportunity. Little did I know that it would've been $15 cheaper if I'd just walked up on the day of play and paid regular price. Don't see the benefit of this app at this point.

Potential

Way better than going to east Potomac. One thing I love about both courses is they do a good job on the greens. This course has a ton of potential if they fixed up some of the fairways and cart path. These don’t bother me as long as the greens roll true, and they did.
