National Golf Club

Worth playing if you can get on under $60. Clubhouse, parking lot and pro shop have seen better days. Full range, practice area and putting green is well kept and worth checking out. Course was in great shape and pace of play on a weekend was just about 4:10.

Friday. Wasn't crowded.

Late summer.. fairways weren't in the best shape, greens were ok.

First time there we had a blast.

Lots of water to get over..

Tough but not ridiculous.

Played from white tees..

Perfect weather.

A new addition to our list of courses

Golf now made the private club available

Not the cheapest course.. it's worth it

This is an interesting situation because I thing it’s a great track & deal as a GolfNow customer but if I were a member I wouldn’t be so happy.

It’s a very nice old school country club layout, it has a lot of really good holes ,however, it’s not in CC condition that’s for sure.

I wouldn’t go out of my way to play this course but if you’re in the area it’s well worth the GolfNow rate. Like many courses in the area there are a lot of ball makes and the greens are a lot slower than the look.

There was a kids (I.e as young as 9 years old). tournament going on and the staff knew the place of plate would be slow and didn’t seem to care.. of course the tournament moved slower than what the golf course staff anticipated as usual. They should not sell teetimes on golf now when they know they have a tournament going on.

Of course when you tell them that you’d like to get your money back they tell you that you have to go back to GolfNow. So they leave you with a take it or leave it scenario. However due to the financial challenges this course has had over the past several years I guess they just want to make money anyway possible. Anyone who golfed that day while the tournament was going on should have been given at least a 25% discount considering how slow the pace of play was for paying golfers.

I had been looking forward to playing this course for some time, as it’s a private club. I was able to play by utilizing GoofNow. The tee boxes and fairways, for the most part, are in poor condition. The greens had been aerated recently but seemed like they will be nice soon.

I guess I expected more from a private golf club.

Swan Point is semi-private, in Southern Maryland and the best course south of DC.

Course in pretty good shape. The greens roll slow but true. Biggest problem is way too many golfers are ignoring their ball marks on the green. I repaired, on average, about 4 ball marks each green and there were plenty more that needed repair.

The only moist aspect to this golf course was the water features. The course was beautifully laid out and trimmed. But, every single shot (driver and putter, aside) started and ended with a dust cloud. The weather in the previous week was not necessarily arid. There’s not much excuse for failing to irrigate the golf course.

The status of green should be maintained for keeping putting feel. It was too slow due to the long grass.

This is a private club that I was afforded the op to play by Golf Now. The Pro Shop was a broom closet and the course was in bad shape. Putting was non existent as the greens were punched and very very shaggy. So much so a 1 foot put was hard to make. Pace of play was bad but it may have just been my little corner of the course on that day at that time.

Not worth the drive.

NGC no longer honors TeeOff reservations. Forced our foursome to REPAY course fee and contact TeeOff for a refund. New course manager was rude over the phone when staff explained situation. but the rest of the staff was very respectful and accommodating.

That being said the course was clean and fun. Will come back now that my friend had to sign up for a membership.

I played here for the first time after looking for a new course after becoming irrated by Reston National. Didn't know what to expect - is it private or public (available on GolfNow)? It is public and was wide open on a Tuesday. Played by myself, never waitied, and finished in about 3 hours. Liked the course layout - open, hilly, lots of trees - but quality could be better. A number of very wet spots and the edges of fairways were very spotty. Facilities were non-existant. Pro shop was at the end of a long walk and wkas just a guy sitting at a desk.

They're doing a lot of renovations so it was a little difficult to find the protest to check in because there are no signs directing you to the temporary location. The course is older but very well laid out and is a lot of fun. Most the holes have a water feature and are fairly long. On the day that I came it was not busy so the experience was not rushed. The driving range had free balls for you to hit to warm up. And the staff was very friendly and accommodating as well as the other players. My 11-year-old son played with me and also had a blast.
