Too many bugs

I play at algonkian often, but during the last couple weeks I was bitten by so many bugs. My face was so swollen and painful after playing. I could not focus on my game. I don't know why this course has so many bugs compared to other courses.

I would like to first acknowledge that we are sorry to hear about your experience being bitten by bugs while playing your round. You were most likely bitten by mosquitoes and/or gnats which are prevalent this time of year. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do about flying insects like gnats or mosquitoes on our golf course. Just like any wildlife, this is their habitat, and we must play amongst them. The hot and humid July weather makes for perfect conditions for flying species such as mosquitoes and gnats in which there are plenty. Also, with the golf course being located next to the Potomac River, this also adds to their population.

Our recommendation is to apply plenty of bug spray before you play your round (please apply bug spray away from any grass surfaces as it can damage the turf). We also sell bug spray in our Pro Shop if you don’t have any. If you have any questions, comments, suggestions, or concerns, please contact the Golf Course Manager at 703-450-4655 ext. 105.

Course was in great shape for all of the rain during the week

Played 18 holes in 5 hours and 30 minutes which is slow for Algonkian. Nice tree lined park land course which normally has the rough mowed down to a reasonable length to make it easier to find balls and keep the pace of play up. Tee boxes were in good shape, fairways were in great shape, and greens were slow from moisture but were in pretty good shape as well.

Thank you for your review! Although you had a slow round, we appreciate your kind words about the course conditions. We agree that the course is in great shape right now thanks to the hard work of our maintenance team and cooperation from Mother Nature.

A pace of 5.5hrs is much too slow and we hope you have a much faster round next time you play. We strive to make efforts to maintain our set pace of play by having course marshals monitor play. With last week’s rain, we did have to switch to cart path only which slows down play. Again, 5.5hrs is not up to our standards and we’ll continue to make efforts to improve.

NOVA Parks golf management is currently working on a pace of play campaign which will involve improving ways to educate golfers on how they can improve slow play including selecting the proper tees to play from, on-course etiquette, and emphasizing “ready golf.” More on this to come. We hope to see you again very soon!

The Promised Land

Algonkian is a true gem. Please keep it that way. The land is hallowed grounds and the course is a delight. Only recommendation would be for some of the volunteer starters to just chill a little bit, this isn't Augusta!!!
