This course has the best collection of par 3 holes I can remember. The design varies from true links to Downland over different sections of the course and is engaging at all times. There are a couple of holes toward the end which get a bit confusing on where to play to if you’re a first timer, we actually played toward one green before realising it was the wrong one, but that’s the nature of links style set ups. A memorable round of golf.

As a newcomer to these parts from the UK I'm still getting to know the ropes and how to play good golf courses for non extortionate rates in this area. Golf in and around Dc is ridiculously priced if you want to play in the morning or early afternoon, period. However you can get some good deals if you can play at the right times and I thought I was onto a very good thing when I discovered North West. This is a very good course and it's tough and long, a challenge for a low single figure golfer like myself. However the last two times I've played I haven't been able to complete my round as the place has been full of weekend hackers who are contributing to a 4.5 hour + round of golf (and that's with buggies!) The other thing that makes teeing off in the mid afternoon such a problem here is that they start groups at the 10th in the early afternoon and so by the time you get to the back nine it's backed up even more ( I also heard the starter saying to groups that they could carry on playing after their 18, causing even more congestion). I understand the place needs to make money but filling every available spot with very slow playing golfers really spoils this very good golf experience.

I've played at Langley before and know its a very good course with good greens, therefore I was surprised to find it on here for a very good price. I booked it to play with a client and was therefore horrified when the pro didn't have a clue what I was taking about when I told him about my booking (which was 100% paid up before hand) and said that they are not affiliated with Golfnow and LastMinuteGolf whatsoever! It was very good of him to honor the booking at the price I paid and he said he would be investigating the matter.......
