The Preserve at Eisenhower Golf Course

The problem with the courses in the DC area is they moved to the summer grasses so until it gets hot the fairways suck. I guess overseeding is not an option even with record amounts of rounds being played. :-/

I'll go back but once the fairways come in.

Course looks great. This is after 4 days of rain. Drained well, was not cart path only like the rest of the courses. Nice work Eisenhower. Course is in much better shape than last year.

Anywhere off the fairway was clumpy not mown. Tee boxes were rough. No seeding visible. A shame as the redesign is still fresh.

I played this morning at 1136 and the group knew rain was going to roll in but not until the round was over. 4 holes in we were at 1.5 hours and the rain had started to fall way earlier then expected… there was two groups collecting balls, filling pockets full every shot. Rather then play the 5.5 hour round in the freezing cold with it raining now we decided to hit the shop and asked for a rain check due to the conditions, pace of play, lack of ranger to keep pace. The 20 something young “manager” turned us away very snide and said to go back out in the rain and play the back half instead, claiming I’m not supposed to give out rain checks. Never have I felt the management of a golf course was more poor. I will not be going back to this place and it actually made me want to write a review.

Nothing fancy, the course was in good condition for October. The greens were fantastic and so fast. The course set up will challenge all levels of golfer. Definitely a shot makers course and you better know your clubs yardages.
