Poor pace of play/crowded

The pace of play at this course is horrendous. The starter sends people off whenever, which led to a bunch of twosomes who should have been paired up. I didn’t end up playing with the people who booked my same tee time. They also somehow added two groups in front of us at the turn, which further slowed things down.

There are 27 holes here, and you are not necessarily going to play the 18 you book. They had us play Tradition instead of Heritage, which was on my reservation. Tradition is a really crowded, tight 9. More of an executive course. Because of the added groups, tight holes, and a bunch of holes where people try to drive the green/reach par 5s in two, it was slow going.

Otherwise, the course is in decent shape. Some greens a little rough, but fairways and rough nice and green.

Excellent condition

This course is in immaculate condition. And like all other reviewers say, it is a difficult test of golf. Plays long, even from the forward tees.

Poor upkeep

The fairways were well maintained. But the greens were in terrible shape and most bunkers haven't seen maintenance in what looks like years. The cart paths are almost unusable. Hold on and go slow, or you might eject your bag and all your belongings. The starter was also a little intense and rude.

Great course

I think this course is the best maintained daily fee course in the area. I wish they maintained the bunkers a little better, but most courses seem to have stopped bunker maintenance. The course is a bit pricey. For $80+, it would be nice if they included range balls.

Very poorly maintained

The course gets a little worse every time I play it and likely won’t be back. Fairway vs. rough is indistinguishable. Lots of dirt and weeds. Very poorly maintained. Bunkers are mostly unplayable.

Good deal close to town

Nice course close to I-285. Overall, it was in pretty good shape. Hard to rate overall condition given everything is dormant. Despite the greens being new, they are already showing a little wear, being spotty in places. They are fast. With a Golfnow Hot Deal, the value is hard to beat.

Great shape

The course was in great shape. Its a difficult layout with water or out of bounds on almost every hole. This can slow down play. Took about three hours to play the back nine.

Needs some maintenance

They were doing work to improve the course. Aerating the tee boxes, etc. but the course was still in a little worse condition than expected. Bald patches in the fairways, bunkers that hadn’t been raked in a long time, no line between fairways and rough. The fairways just sort of morph into patchy grass and dirt where the rough should be. That said, very inexpensive and very quick pace of play.

The course was in pretty good shape given the rough winter DC has had. It looks like the bunkers haven't been raked in a long time, maybe even all winter. Some bunkers were unusable, and many tee boxes were completely unusable, so yardages on the score card are suspect. The range was closed when I arrived, and the cart attendant was very rude, at one point angrily cussing on the radio in front of customers... It was awkward.

Average Course

Pretty typical housing development golf course. Not a very scenic course, but overall, it was pretty well maintained. Got a good weekday deal on golf now that made it worth it. I would not pay the rack rate to play here, though. While we were there, the grounds crews seemed to be working pretty hard to get the course in better shape, tending to problem areas on several holes. That was nice to see.

Good Value

This course is a great value not far from DC. It is very well maintained, especially for how late in the season it is. The course would be in better shape if players fixed divots and ball marks. This course if pretty difficult the first time as there are a lot of blind tee shots and it is difficult to judge how much room you have in certain areas. But most fairways are generous.

Decent course

This is a decent course with a pretty layout. There is a decent amount of work being done on it, so there were closed tee boxes and spotty fairways. Should be nice when all the work is done and the grass has grown in all the way for the season. Still a lot of brown grass. Greens were in nice shape
