Sadness
I just hope NLT starts to actually rehab this course because it has so much potential.
Sub par course conditions
The course is close proximity to DC. Course conditions are below average and pace of play was slow. Greens were tiny but rolled well. Challenging course overall but fair.
Enjoy the view of Anacostia river
Excellent hospitality by the staff; great value for $. I will play again here.
Urban Golf!
Busy environment: busses, metros, traffic, football practice, etc., etc.
Fairways in OK shape, greens in great shape considering location and amount of play!
Bad
For the price, an awful golfing experience. There are much better places in the area for the money
Poor shape
On several holes you find yourself alongside the driving range hoping not to get hit and hoping to find your ball among dozens of range balls. If ball is hit in fairway you might find it ... not in fairway, well good luck!!
Great Round in DC
This was a great in DC at a historical course. The pace of play was great (2 hrs 18 mins). It rained the night before and the course was not soggy. The green fees was at a great value compared to some of the semi-private courses.
Not worth it
Showed up for 11:40 tee time. At 11:40 the 11:20 group was still on the first box. Starter wasn’t concerned but made sure to tell me to hurry up and get out there. Front nine was in terrible shape. Back was better
Solid Option
The course was a solid option in DC. The tee boxes were ridiculously firm. Otherwise, it was in pretty good shape for a city course in the middle of summer.
tee time was at 1:20...didn't start until 1:50 due to not enough carts. course was in terrible shape, tee box ground was so hard on the front 9 you couldn't even put a tee in the ground. the holes are so close together you frequently will have others hit into your "fairway." was my first time playing and will never go back. would not recommend to a friend. 50 dollars to play 18 here is a joke, where is that money going?
tee time was at 1:20....did not start playing until 1:50 due to not enough carts. course was in terrible shape, one of the worst I've ever played at. first time playing and do not plan on coming back
