National Golf Club

Worse kept golf course I've ever played, low price and still very much not worth it. Tee boxes are trash, unkept/dead areas on every fairway, sandboxes were trash, ponds so dirty and full of slime/foam. The worst part was the greens, unmowed for 3 days straight, impossible to putt on, most courses keep their fairways much better than these greens. Don't go until they get new management.

I used the June $25 discount and all my GolfPass points to get the fees down to about $28.00. It is a good course layout - playing for the first time I was able to figure out the strategy on most holes. Fairways were in decent shape, but the tee boxes and greens were not. See attached photo which shows what shape most of the greens were in. It was like putting across the surface of the moon. Until they improve this the course is not worth the $70 normally charged.

This course is not playable, don’t waste your money

Super friendly staff and a great layout. The course would be awesome if they invested in the fairways and greens. There are some patchy spots and a lot of crab grass. For the money it’s not a bad value at all.

The layout at National Golf Club in Fort Washington was actually pretty enjoyable, and the course itself has solid potential. Unfortunately, the overall conditioning really took away from the experience.

The range balls were some of the worst I’ve seen — many of them barely had dimples left, making it tough to get any real warmup before the round. The tee boxes were also in terrible shape and looked heavily neglected throughout the course.

The greens were in very rough condition as well, covered in bad spots and inconsistencies that made putts roll unpredictably almost everywhere. On top of that, the fairways looked and played like they hadn’t been cut in quite some time.

What really makes this frustrating is the price. The round was upward of $70, and for conditions like this, that’s hard to justify. If this had been a $30 municipal course experience, it would’ve made a lot more sense. But this was nowhere near close to $100-quality golf by any means.

The layout is there, but the maintenance and overall conditioning need major improvement before I’d consider coming back regularly.

I played this course at least once over the past two years and it was always in playable shape. Right now though it is far worse than it has been. The fairways and covered in weeds and rock hard with completely dead spots in some areas. The greens are pockmarked and brown. Also one hole on the front is completely flooded due to a drainage issue while the rest of the course is desperate for water. It’s one of the cheaper courses around but I won’t be going back this year. My guess is it gets even worse in the summer as the real heat begins to set in.

Tee boxes were sand and in poor condition. Greens were diseased and not taken care of. 100% not worth the price.

I recently visited National Golf Club for a tournament on April 28th, and I wanted to share my experience. I’m from Boston, and before arriving, I was a bit hesitant after reading some negative reviews online.

However, my experience was completely different.

While this may not be a high-end luxury golf club, the course itself is beautiful and well worth playing. More importantly, the staff were incredibly welcoming, professional, and attentive throughout the entire visit. The General Manager was especially outstanding and made a great impression.

If I lived in the area, I would absolutely become a member. I was actually surprised when I asked about membership pricing—it offers excellent value that’s hard to find elsewhere.

The food was delicious, and the service was consistently great.

I will definitely be returning the next time I’m in the area.

Played here 4-5 times and enjoyed it prior. This year conditions were much worse. The staff let us know when we arrived, but this should either be called out online or there should be a discount because it is not nearly worth the same price as it is in proper condition. Hope it’s fixed soon

I enjoyed playing taking into consideration that it's only April so the course was not in its best shape however I still enjoyed my round. The staff was very friendly and easy going.

I can't believe they are charging money for this. The public courses in the area are far better. Don't get me wrong the course has massive potential, the grounds are just not being properly kept as comparedto even the public courses in the area. I'm very disappointed. Sorry to say but this this was my first and it will be the last time for me.

The staff was great and super friendly. However, the course is horrible. The fairways are filled with crab grass and the greens are all divots and weeds. The fairways and greens are unplayable and the pace of play was slow. Ended up driving off the course after 3.5 hours and only playing 11 holes. You could give me a free round here and I would respectfully decline.

Worst greens and fairways I’ve seen in a long time. Crabgrass fairways and blotchy shag carpet greens. So disappointing.
