Played On 05/26/2022Not worth the money/hassle, but improved course
Attempting to leave a fair review here. In summary, it's not worth the money given the cost of round and horrid pace of play, but the course itself has improved nicely the past few years. I'll start with the positive, they invested a lot to improve the course itself over its previous state and I think they did well in that regards,. Nicer fairways, less obstructing trees, etc. Greens so-so, but not bad. Now for the rest of the story. The operational part needs attention. The biggest knock over the past few years has been the pace of play. It was (somewhat) tolerable when the cost was average, but at their current rates (plus they'll charge you $11.00 extra if you need/want your own cart) it's painful. I usually play as a single, and sometimes get there early and they have ZERO FLEXIBILITY for playing early. I was sitting there grabbing lunch an hour before my scheduled tee time and would not allow to tee off even though it was dormant for some time w/ several chances to join a two-some, or just go during the empty tee box. It appeared they'd rather have several foursomes hold things up vs. putting a single in ahead of their time. That's likely part of their usual problem with course mgmt. Maybe they drive foursomes so they can charge $11 extra for those who want to ride solo. And the main guy there isn't friendly and you get the look of death when asking about anything. For how strict they are about going exactly at your tee time, you'd think the pace would be better. All the complaints above are noted as common complaints about this course. "Decent course, but rarely come back b/c of the hassle, cost, backups and stringent staff". I want to like this course so much, but there are too many options in the area to go there and be frustrated. Maybe I'll try again next year.

Played On 03/17/2021Buyer Beware! 3 holes under construction (not playable) w/o warning
This course is usually pretty decent, but BEWARE BEFORE YOU PAY...2.5 holes are NOT PLAYABLE and there's NO NOTIFICATION PRIOR TO PURCHASING ONLINE (there IS a sign on their door at the course). After already paying for the round, I found out when I got there two holes are completely off-limits and one Par 5 was modified to a Par 3 (and a poor one to say the least). I wouldn't have been so critical about this, but the staff's attitude was kinda like ho-hum, sorry. They were like "well you got it on a Hot-Deal anyway" so no need to offer anything further. VERY disappointed how the staff handled the 2.5 unplayable hole situation. Would have went elsewhere had I know of course conditions - and disappointed at their lack of empathy or concern regarding over-paying for 15 legit holes. GOLF NOW and POHICK should ensure there is notice of this construction BEFORE MAKING THE PURCHASE ONLINE!
Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. Very sorry your experience wasn’t what you’d hoped. A manager will look into this for you. Please email us, we had some questions for you. pohick_golf@nvrpa.org

Pace of play was pretty bad when we played. Tee time got moved last minute by Golf Now or them, and price way too much for what you get in return.

Played On 08/17/2018Course a mess for the money, staff friendly
While the staff was very friendly and the clubhouse is nice, this course just isn't worth the money based on the condition it's in. They say it's the weather, but have been to other courses and it's not half as bad...and less expensive. If it was cheaper, you could call it even, but when the course is in THAT bad of shape, you have to lower the price IMO. It's too bad b/c I like playing there, but even when the course is in great condition, still too expensive.
Hello, thank you for the review and noticing the improvements we have made over the last couple of years.
As far as flexibility goes, we try to work with all customers the best we can, as we did during your visit. You had booked a "hot deal" on GolfNow that comes with it's own set of rules and is stated in the terms and conditions. We did switch you to an earlier time and let you know that it would be with a twosome. That tee time was behind two foursomes, but looking at GPS cart data, your round took 2:36 which is way ahead of our 4:00 set pace of play.
Single rider cart fees are a standard at most golf courses and is stated in the terms & conditions and tee time notes for all tee times.
Have a nice day
