National Golf Club

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.

The course is not worth the money at the moment. Its a good layout and you can tell it can be a good course but the greens are in really bad shape not. And fairways are okish.

The course has a lot of potential. Great layout and pretty holes. The greens are in terrible shape. Some of the tee boxes were horrendous. The practice putting green is the worst I have ever seen, you can't even call it a green. The driving range mats are terrible and old and leave residue all over your clubs. Was impossible to find a tee to hit off for a driver as they are all missing. Overall the course was fun to play but it needs some investment.

It appeared the tee boxes and fairways had not been cut in days.

Hard to distinguish rough from fairway, and had to tee ball up higher for it to sit above the grass.

Greens appeared significantly underwatered.

The tee boxes were overgrown, the fairway punished you for being in it. The greens were unplayable.

Many fairways were just a little shaggy. The greens were in decent shape but a bit slow due to not being cut very short. The rough wasn't very tall but with all the storms we've had, they were lush and 'grabby'. The Heat Index was 95-96 so we barely saw anyone else on the course for the entire round, when we left at 4pm they said they only had 6 carts out on the course (on a Friday afternoon).

Havent golfed here in a couple years, but enjoyed coming back. Great pace for a weekend round (3.5 hours)

Overall rating -1.5

My review title says it all.

It is a great layout with elevations and design.

I really liked it.

Fairways - were in worst condition.

There is weed all over the way and it was no

more than a low cut rough with all kinds of

plants or whatever you can call.

Greens - again the Slowest on the Planet! The grass seemed never cut or not maintained. Honestly my home carpet would roll much faster. It was so bad. There was no roll whatsoever. If you hit a high approaching shot it will not

roll at all. Some long putts you have hammer and even then you end up well short.

Pace of play - was probably good to okay, however not many were playing. It was literally empty from Noon Tee times onwards. So can’t say much about the pace.

That’s pretty much it.

If you like these conditions you can go and have fun.

PS: I was a first timer on this course.

For $70 the conditions were pretty rough, nearly east Potomac level. We played on a Sunday afternoon at the pace of play was great, we finished in under 4 hours. Also the club made me get a refund credit from golf now, then made me pay them the course fee. Only problem is that the credit only goes to my account and not my credit card so I essentially paid twice. Wouldn’t return.
