Pohick Bay Golf Course
About
Pohick Bay Regional Park Golf Course in Lorton has been one of the area's most popular public courses since it opened in the early 1980s. Playing at Pohick Bay is like playing two golf courses in one, with a front nine that has long, tree-lined fairways and a hillier back nine that features a variety of doglegs and water holes. It is a definitely a shot-maker's course so be prepared to use some creativity and some thoughtful strategizing doesn’t hurt either. The constant up and down of the golf course provides uneven lies and a number of blind shots. The dramatic terrain also makes it a tough course to walk. Trees frame most of the holes, demanding accuracy but also providing a peaceful and secluded feel. Pohick Bay Regional Park Golf Course is popular amongst locals for being one of the most challenging and yet also one of the most affordable courses in the area.

Friendly staff
Front nine played a little slow as two walkers took their time. Instead of playing the back nine, the staff let us play the front nine again so we wouldn't have to wait for the slow walkers. Second nine took just under half the time to play.
Too early in the season to play this course
The condition of the course is fair at best. the greens are very sandy, and fairway grass has not fully grown yet. plus there ware many casual waters around the course due to the rain this past week.
Thank you for your feedback. We take your opinion seriously, and are working everyday to improve the customer experience.

The condition of the course was very
disappointing. There was a temporary green
and several of the fairways were browned
out.

James, the starter, and Bob, the counterman, provided excellent service
My partner and I were treated royally. Inclement day broke as we teed off at 10:00. Finished 18 in under 4 hours. Recommend riding cart as many up & down hills. Hate the the par 5 over the water on the back nine, as it forces two shots to lay up for a 200 yard 3rd shot over water to the green. Too many balls can't carry the water.
Gorgeous course, great layout
I really loved this course my first time out. Very different to a lot of the DC area courses with tight parkland fairways and some really extreme doglegs. The greens were in great shape and surprisingly fast for the winter. I'll definitely be back!

Would be nice if the starter and Marshall actually did their job . Round took almost 5 hours

Great course with the best driving range around the area. Challenging on some holes for sure and makes you utilize your clubs and lay up a few times. Greens are in great shape but very slow and difficult to judge.
