Fairway Hills Golf Club

I booked a 12:40pm tee time for 3 for $35. It was about 55 degrees partly sunny on a Saturday, so that was a great deal. It's about an hour from DC, so when we realized we might be about 5-10 minutes late, I called the pro-shop to let them know. When I got in the Pro-Shop, it was 12:43pm and we were all ready to go. The guy in the pro shop told us he couldn't get us out until 2:20pm. We had a little disagreement and then we went outside to sort everything out with the starter/ranger, Mike. Mike=great guy. Seems like he keeps everything running smoothly. We got paired up with a guy named Wayne, who was the funniest guy of all time. It was winter time, so the grass was dormant, but you could tell it is very well-maintained and probably looks gorgeous in the summertime. The course wasn't long on the scorecard, but plays a bit longer than it seems. I found myself hitting shorter clubs off the tee to stay in position, which meant more irons and less wedges into greens. All things considered, good layout, great winter conditions. Based on other reviews it seems like the staff is pretty friendly overall, so I guess the guy in the pro-shop was just having a bad day. Had a great day on the course and away from the city.

Winter round when it was raining but it was great. Very nice staff, they let me move my tee time back when it was pouring out. Fairways are all bermuda or zoysia grass but play well in the winter even if when they aren't actively growing. Greens were wonderful even in February. Definitely will be coming back to this course.

Paid $15 total for a 50 degree day. Course conditions were fine for Winter, as expected. This is basically a wooded, urban setting, with some highways and houses.

There are some really challenging holes like the 420 yard from the white tees, par 4, 16th. Although length is not the issue, there are dogleg par 5's which require 3 good shots, which is fine. Will go back.

Excellent price for a round of winter golf. The course was in great shape being winter. Greens were fairly well. Temp around 43 so not tom many golfer took advantage. Pace of play excellent. Temp and cost made this a great alternative to hitting balls a the range...Cabin Fever

This course is challenging and fun, there are some blind shots but that's ok makes you think before each shot, you can increases your skill level by playing there . The greens are decent, some of the fairways are narrow but that's makes you keep your mind on the game.

I booked a "hot deal" which was an excellent price. I played alone and the pace was great although conditions were very wet from previous day rain and course was cart path only. Carts were brand new and just being unloaded from the truck at the course. Course still recovering from storm damage that causes players to back track from hole #6 back past #1-5 and then #8-9 to get to hole #7; very awkward but with only few players there was no danger driving back into oncoming players and balls but totally not walkable due to distance from hole 6 back to hole 7. Greens were in fair shape at best, some had bare areas and others showed evidence of sod patches. Overall, not bad for late fall/early winter golf. Course is tight and chance to lose balls is high. Course is not worth the usual rate but for hot deal was a very good price.

BRIDGE UPDATE: bridge still out

Some greens are in rough shape but everything else is solid for this time of year

There are some interesting challenges on some holes and overall the course is pretty good, but two major issues are some of the greens were in really bad shape and there is a bridge out that connects 6-7 so they start you out on the back nine and you have to go on this ridiculous 5-minute excursion backtracking half the course to finish holes 7- 9 ... not for walkers

I like this course because it is narrow and it challenges the accuracy of your shots. Due to the destruction of the road caused by the rain this summer, it took sbout 5 mins driving from hole 6 to 7. Expect minimum help from the club house although I see improvement lately. Can be slow play.

BRIDGE UPDATE: bridge still out

Extremely tight course, leaving no room for error. Many blind shots. Course conditions were unsatisfactory primarily due to the flooding experienced a couple months ago. Might take a while to get back to normal. Could stand to have more amenities available, i.e. food and beverage selection, retail amentities, etc.

Played with a friend and another single paired with by the starter. The course was in excellent condition and the pace of play was great.. The staff at the course were very friendly. We hope to get back there soon.

Mostly Good condition green and fairway

The course is in good condition, especially considering the high heat and dry conditions of the late summer. A couple of surprise water hazards mean that local knowledge is important. Overall a great value in this area.

This course has some of the best fairways in the State.

Nice layout grass feels like its fake . Grass rite now is burnt out with all the we had lately its a suprise . The only thing i hated was having to drive back through almost all the back 9 holes just finish 7,8,and 9 i wont teturn till bridge is fixed. Also reallt tight fairways bring ir A game lol its a ball eater if you dont

Not a long course / fairways in good shape / greens average / tee boxes and bunkers need work but a good course for locals to enjoy and even better if you get a hot deal from GN.

So I check in for a 2:10 tee time and the front desk guy tells me that I may not finish. I got the round in, but it took 5 hours. There was s ranger on the course, but he did nothing to speed play up.

That was the sad part because the course has a great layout. The greens roll true and are of a decent pace, but it's hard to get in a rhythm.

Course in horrible condition. Bridge still out between 6 and 7. Have to play back 9 first, then 1-6, then drive back to starter and backtrack from 9 to 7. No notice of this situation when I booked.
