Perfect weather

Good course decent shape no service due to renovation

It is our first time playing this private course that has interesting layout. It has tree-lined fairways that are quite dry and hard, small fast greens with undulations that are rolling true and in great shape, rock-hard bunkers that are borderline unfair to play, inconsistent rough that is generally in okay shape but are not fair in some spots, and quite a few water features although most are not in play. Some of the tee boxes are in rough shape with bold spots. It is an experience playing this old-school style course in an old neighborhood club. The drive range has relatively new balls but there are unmarked for yardage. The club house is in renovation and not accessible; no water anywhere for drink or even washing hands.

Nice value near DC

Played 3.5 hours today. Conditions of course were below average but greens in great shape. Great value for 20 minutes outside DC. Strange layout, with small greens and several narrow fairways.

No Food, no drinks, and Porta-pots

The course is in excellent condition, and it’s also a challenge.

The drawback is that the Clubhouse is closed, with no proShop or amenities to speak of.

Good value for the money. Some narrow fairways and small greens. Difficult sight lines on some holes if it is your first time playing here. Some tee boxes needed mowing and work. Fairways were decent and greens rolled true.

Great deal

The fairways and greens were in superb condition — much better than 90% of the public courses I've played this year.

The greens were SUPER fast and challenging. I'm definitely going to work on my short game after playing this course. The back nine had some great features, especially the elevated tee box on Hole 17.

Tee boxes were rough but didn't interrupt our game too much.

Overall, a great course and so much bang for your buck. Definitely will be playing here again.

Good course

Nice course and in pretty good condition, however the clubhouse is under construction, so the only bathroom options are portapotty’s and the food options are limited to snacks.

A couple of the tee boxes in the shade were a bit tough, but that is expected for this time of year. Greens rolled fairly true and the bunkers looked better than other reviews I saw led me to expect (some had clearly been refreshed more recently than others)

Good location and price

Good course to play for change of pace. Reno will be worth porcine if admission. Needs a little more work on bunkers and one off spots along the track. Being a walkable course it needs to have water buckets placed on a few holes. Plenty of walkers to justify it.
