Pohick Bay Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
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.

Need to have some accuracy as the fairways are tree lined with slopes helping your ball to roll into them. The elevation changes keep it interesting. Enjoyed my day there.

I enjoyed the back nine better than the front nine front nine has some very hilly holes to start off with until you finish the fifth or sixth hole you’re playing on very pitchy ground when you come up to the six things improve and stay that way pretty much through the rest of the round it’s a fun course to play. It wasn’t in as good of shape as last time I played, which is understandable, since all the play of the summer look like it took its toll on the Conditions

Ok course
Ok for the money. Conditions ok. Rented clubs for $20 but were not good. Pace was a bit slow. Condition ok.
Thank you so much for your review. We value your feedback, and hope to see you back soon.
First time. Great public course.
It was as a hot NOVA day but had a great experience on this course. Lots of blind shots but will know better next time. I will go back.
Thank you so much for your review. We value your feedback, and hope to see you back soon.
Not worth it
This was only my second time playing at this course but I can honestly say that I won't be back anytime soon. The pace of play was so horrible. The overall conditions of the course were just fine. It was just so backed up that I had to cut my round short. I was even playing as a single and there was no opportunity for me to even play through because of the amount of groups in front of me going so slow. I have never quit in the middle of a round before but I found myself waiting 15 minutes to tee off at every par 3 and the short par 4's. This was not a pleasant experience and there are plenty of other courses in the area that are better or just a good.

Course looks great
Played here yesterday and the course was in the best shape I have ever seen it. The greens were rolling fast and true especially for a public course. The fairways and bunkers were all in great shape. We enjoyed the new tips tee boxes as the course played longer and more challenging. We would like to see the scorecard updated with the new yardage and course rating with the added length. Great price point too at $72 in the morning on a weekend. Seems you can’t find a decent course on the weekend for under $100 these days.
Overall it was a great outing and will definitely be back!
Hi msmith75, thank you for your positive feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you had a great experience and enjoyed the course's excellent condition. We appreciate your suggestion about updating the scorecard and will definitely consider it. We look forward to seeing you again soon!
