Shotmakers Paradise

The day got started a bit rough...The guy working the register for check-in was incredibly slow and a bit grumpy as well. I almost missed my tee time and was there 15 minutes early. The golf course, however, is exceptional. Here are some notes:

Plays a lot longer than the scorecard lists. There is a lot of space of the tees but they are generally blind shots (12 tee shots are blind). The true challenge of this course lies on and around the greens, which are severely slopped. Most greens are multi-tiered and surrounded by trouble, whether it be water (literally right off the green in the case of the 9th hole) or bunkers.

I still found this course very score-able. If you can putt well there are certainly opportunities out there. Some short par 5's and par 4s really balance out a couple of the beastly par 4s.

All in all, this is a must-play golf course and the quality you would expect from pb dye.

Pace of Play is too slow

Positives: Greens are in decent shape, roll well, just a few minor hiccups. Staff is very friendly.

Negatives: Pace of play is VERY slow. This will be one of the longest rounds you play in the dc area. I played midday Sunday and it was a 5 1/2 hour round. Really basic lay out. No hole really stands out.

Overall: Don't pay more than $35-40 to play here. Clear up your calendar as well because it will likely be a 5+ hour round in prime time.

DC's Best

one of the best, if not the best, course in the dc area that you can get on. has the feel of a private club from the moment you arrive to when you leave.

Handicap: 2 - Pohick is better than advertised

Greens were in great shape...fast and true. Teeboxes, fairways and rough were lush. This course is challenging your first time as nearly every hole is a dogleg w/ elevation changes and sloping greens (pays to be on the low side of the hole). Beautiful piece of land - heavily wooded with a few water features. Not a single house on the course. Play didnt slow down till the 14th hole.

Overall, I was very impressed with this golf course and will be back.

WOW

I have played Highland ohhh maybe 100 times and I hope to play another 1000 before I die!

pace of play is generally a bit slow, the course is short, and the conditions aren't anything to write home about (although, I played here last fall and for some reason the course was absolutely pristine out of literally nowhere.) but this golf experience is just as unique and enjoyable as any other, especially for the cape.

The scenery is beautiful, the wind howls, the scape and grounds are generally untamed. It is a classic old school golf course that has probably seen little to no change since it was built...

If this course was lengthened on a few holes and the conditions were always as pristine as they were that day last fall I referred to earlier in this post. This course would be on everyone's radar. But, this is not the case and so this hidden gem is overlooked.
