Everything was great. Good tough course.Good condition. Only complaint.CART PATH ONLY.. Winter is over it was not wet. Tough course to walk seems they always are CPO. Doesn't make sense. Won't play again until carts are allowed in fairway.

Superb sourse conditions; interesting course; friendly staff

Superb course conditions. Staff was friendly, professional, efficient and helpful in the pro shop and at the start. Challenging course that is very hilly and the weather was windy so made it extra challenging but very enjoyable. Super, new golf carts included GPS and were in fantastic condition. Cart paths are also extremely well maintained. The entire course really is fantastic. While we had to wait for a slow two-some that was 2 groups in front of us from the 12th hole on, we still completed our round in just under 4 hours. The restaurant is very nice and although the hours were posted as open until 6pm, we ordered at 5:30pm after our round and there was no pressure to hurry up and leave so we were there until nearly 6:30 and there were others still having drinks after we left. Friendly wait-staff at the restaurant and very good food reasonably priced. Range balls were included ahead of our round which was a great bonus we weren't aware of until we got there. There's a nice driving range and a couple putting areas all also well-maintained. We'll definitely be back.

Good condition for windy day

Overall the course is challenging and if you add wind and some rain, then it becomes one of the hardest courses around.

Golf Course with the most beautiful views!!

I cannot remember the last time I golfed at such a beautiful course! The elevation is extreme but has some of the best views on a number of holes. The weather was windy and ut my game to the challenge! I would recommend playing this course at least once in your life. You will not be disappointed!

Fun and Challenging Course

My son and I really enjoyed playing MD National. This is probably one of my favorite courses now. Greens were fair but fast. Chipping was tough to hold the ball on green. Distances were tough to judge because of all the elevation change throughout course. Some holes were wide open and forgiving but others tight with not a whole room for error (which is not good for my swing). I cant wait to play again (but maybe when price is alittle lower).

Great day at Maryland National Golf Course

My wife and I enjoyed a challenging round of golf today. The course was in excellent condition (minus some fairway divots some golfers refuse to replace or repair with the sand mixture provided on golf cart) The staff was extremely courteous and helpful as we prepared to embark on to the first hole. The restaurant served excellent food and our waitress (Reagan) was extremely knowledgeable of all the draft beers and menu items. We definitely plan to return in the future.

Wonderful Experience

This course is outstanding. The greens were fast enough and the fairways and tees were in great condition. The staff were friendly and accommodating. I’d highly recommend this course to everyone. I think it’s easily in my top 3 courses in the DMV. It’s a good test of golf, but completely fair. You’ll get to hit many drivers, fairway woods, and irons from the tees. The course offers great variety. I highly, highly recommend this golf course. Can’t wait to get back!

Great time, as usual

Played here to an almost empty tee sheet. Course in its usual great shape. Staff friendly and pace of play was my own as I was nearly the only one out there. Fast greens that don’t hold a shot, but putt very well.
