Decent course

Tee boxes are very difficult to place tees in on most of the front nine; the back nine is better in that regard. Fairways are pretty rough with some muddy, non playable spots. The greens are in pretty good shape and are challenging. Cart paths are very bad so take it slow or you will lose your bag off the back of the cart. Overall a decent experience for the price.

Best bang for your buck in DC

Solid course with solid staff, tee boxes are a little hard and the cart path is kinda nonexistent (so just go wherever you want that isn’t a green) but overall best bang for your buck in the area.

Greens are in excellent condition but tough. Teebox in great shape with newly grown grass. Fairways need lots of work, with bleed areas. Carth paths need lots works.

Good for cost

Pace of play was good. But course needed some good TLC. Tee boxed were tough to put tees down on some holes but the course could be great with some maintenance.

First time at Langston

First round at Langston went pretty well. We tee'd off right at 7 AM. Cart Paths are basically rollercoaster rides, you can lose balls in the fairway because of tall grass, but OVERALL this is a pretty great value course. A few super challenging holes along the way as well.

Good, inexpensive option with potential

Good and inexpensive round of golf. The conditions overall all range from rough to excellent from hole to hole but the greens are in excellent shape for a public course. Given a bit more resources and attention to the things like cart paths and some TLC to the front nine fairways this could course could go from good to great. Had an amazing burger at the grill inside and the staff were all smiles and friendly.

Not Bad for a close cheap option

Not a bad course for a course that is close to downtown. I’ve played it dozens of times over the years and for a quick round, it is a good option. It can get a little backed up on the weekends around the 8th hole. They put a grill out there on the weekends which slows it down. Last time we can up and there were three groups waiting. Other than that, the pace wasn’t horrible but if it isn’t crowded, you can get around in under 3 hrs.

My biggest gripe is the tee boxes. Fairways and greens aren’t bad for a cheap muni but the tee boxes are basically dirt. You can’t get an even lie and the ground is so hard you can barely get a tee in. They desperatly need to be redone. You are supposed to have a clean lie on the tee but here it’s basicly a uneven dirt patch on some holes. If they fixed the tee boxes and stopped with the grill bottleneck on the 8th tee, I’d be back more.

Overall, good for an early morning or late afternoon quick round close to downtown. If you are going to play a weekend morning, drive a litttle further away.
