Golfer Reviews
Steadily going down week by week.
Greens are in pretty bad shape. I feel like they could do a better job than they are doing.
Not great
Just ok. Typical muni. Conditions are not good. Already losing the greens, they are furry, the no bunker idea isn’t appealing to me.
There are much better options that are cheaper.
Renovation
Like the renovation- pace was slow- putting green closed?
Nice improvements, fun to play
Most of the holes are the same from before but flow around the property is better. Also improved practice area is nice. No bunkers help it play easier and the hummocks aren’t as gimmicky as I thought they would be. But don’t really impact play as much as a bunker would. Overall fun to play and for AA County residents it’s reasonably priced.
Day we played greens are still healing from airation which was disappointing.
Redo-some additional grow-in needed
This recently reopened course was in pretty decent shape but there are many places that look to need to grow the rough in. The greens were slow and bumpy with what looked like very recent micro punch aeration. The removal of bunkers on the course was nice. A few blind shots where perhaps the aiming pole in the fairway would be beneficial since no pictures on the scorecard or hole plaques. Luckily I played with a few people who have played their often, but still would visually help. A couple of the Par 5's are less then driver from the tee, but then can not reach in 2 due to hole mapping. All in all course was pretty nice and greens may have been a little slow due to the extreme heat and dry conditions recently along with the aeration. Would like to think the next time i play it, they are in better condition.
First time play
I have to say that this was a pleasant surprise to my local golf. Even though I am in DC, Eisenhower is not a bad ride if you time it right. I went out on a Friday morning early.
I love the hummocks idea as something different to bunkers. I played from the Green Tees, but will move to the Blue. I shot an 48/41 because I stunk up the first four holes, but that's why I am a 13. The new golf carts are plush. The greens rolled slow, but hear its to keep them alive with the heat and play. Fairways are very firm, but I felt like I was playing a links course which isn't bad. Had a great starter! Even thought the snack/pro shop were in a temporary structure, I still felt it was fine. I'm happy with my first experience.
Friendly Golfing Experience
Good golfing experience by everyone in our foursome.
Enjoyed the scarcity of rough around the greens that presented putting possibilities from 10-20 yds. out.
Greens were medium speed that were starting to show some effects of abundant play.
Nice course but bad decision by the starter
Nice course great layout. Greens ran a little slow due to previous day rain and not being rolled but still consistent.
Play was crazy slow as the starter squeezed a twosome before us which makes no sense on a early Saturday am. We waited on 75% of the holes because of this, wasn’t for that the round would have been good.
Straight over Long
It's important to be straight because they don't want you traipsing around in "The Preserve" area of the deep rough. The fairways are not terribly narrow but once you get past that first cut of rough forget about it. Just take the drop.
Very Challenging Cource
Great value for your buck . Especially if you live in county. Pace of play was excellent. Course is challenging but fair. Greens are in great shape and fairways are beautiful. Can’t wait to go back and play there again .
Fun Course
Very nice course and layout, Greens we’re in very good shape although a little slow but that will probably change in time. Fairways and tea boxes in great shape. I’ve played several times since the reopening and each time the pace of play was very slow. In fact unacceptably so, to the point that we had to cut our round short. We did see marshals but whatever they were doing was apparently not effective. This really needs to change. At Queenstown for example the marshals are very good in enforcing pace of play but doing it in a friendly manner reminding people that they need to keep up with the group in front of them even if they need to pick the ball up and move to the next hole in order to do so. They catch slow players quickly to get them to speed up before the whole course gets backed up. This makes for an enjoyable experience for all the players most of whom understand that a golf around should not take longer than four hours and 15 minutes. This expectation should be posted on each golf cart and in the pro shop at sign in.
Nice course; Too slow
I realize that a lot of resources were put into this course to make it a better place to play. And I also understand, in the interest of keeping up a reasonable pace that tee times are spaced at every 12 minutes.
The course is fine; the pace of play not. From the 4th hole on we had to wait; sometimes for a long time. Best I can tell, the main slow down was people spending an inordinate amount of time on the greens. I really would encourage management to use a marshall to move people on; putting need not take forever. I played Bowie today which, I believe, has 8 minute tee times; we moved well through 18 holes because the golfers there understood there were many behind them and things need to move well. That was not the case here. We finally quit after 11 holes.
Nice course, beautiful layout, no bunkers though. Greens were a tad slow, but they did get an inch of rain the night before. I’d play it again & I would recommend it for play if your traveling around maryland.
They need a clubhouse. Right now the pro shop & food/bev grill is out of a small module, still nice. Great staff, very attentive.
Sorry to hear you didn't have the best round possible. The aeration of our greens were moved to Monday and Tuesday due to the volume of rounds the weekend before. Expect a full recovery by Labor Day, and we hope to see you back!
