Falls road is one of my favorites in the Adam area and the home of my best round to date. The course isn't too long, but rewards accurate shots more than big hitters. You might want to hit the range before you play, because 1 and 2 are both Birdie (or even eagle if you catch your second on 2). I've also had the fortune of playing with quite a few genuinely nice strangers here, I would recommend it to anyone.

I give them somewhat of a pass on conditions as a hurricane was blowing in, but the tee boxes looked like they haven’t been mowed in weeks, and there were some rough areas on greens and fairways. I really liked the layout and would definitely play again when they have more of a chance to maintain the course. Pace was just over 3 hours, and everyone was very nice and friendly.

I booked a round on thanksgiving day, and arrived to find this sign. I had my push cart in my trunk, and took off for a round.

Hobbs Hole is the best shape I’ve seen a course in the northern Virginia area for this time of year. It was a very interesting layout, and I will definitely be back. The only thing I couldn’t rate was staff friendliness as they were at home for a well deserved day with their families.

This course used to be one of my favorites in the DC area, but has fallen way downhill. I’ve been twice in the past 3 weeks - there are weeds growing on the greens, bald spots throughout the course, very lumpy and oversoft fairways, and my first round took almost 5.5 hours! I hope management can get the course back in good shape, but until then I’ll have to look elsewhere.

The course is a good value for what you pay, and the pace was Excellent for a weekend. On a day approaching 90°, it was unacceptable to not have water on the course or ice/water available at the bar free of charge. They’re far more likely to have someone get sick or worse from heat exhaustion than COVID, these procedures need to be reviewed

Played in less than 4 hours on Labor Day. Course was a little damp with two extra holes additional cart path only, but you could tell the staff cares about doing a good job. Will absolutely be coming back!

This course was nothing special, it was in pretty good condition and pace of play was great. I didn't have any food so I can't speak to that. My biggest problem was with the staff. The guy working the pro shop was very dismissive, as if he couldn't wait to get me out of there so he could go back to watching TV. Then, starting on the second hole I was with a mower for the rest of the front nine who treated our group as nothing more than an impediment to getting him back inside. He didn't pull to the side when we were teeing off, kept mowing very close to us while we were in the fairway and on the greens, and this happened for 8 straight holes. The back 9 was much better, but there was one green that was torn up and covered in sand. All and all, I probably won't come back.

This is a private club that has opened a few times up on golfnow. The course has been in pretty good condition and is definitely more than challenging and fun enough to keep me coming back but I can't see myself pulling the trigger on a membership (nothing against them, I just like using golfnow and playing different courses too much). Watch out for the greens, they're by far the fastest I've seen in the area.

I was able to fit in a round between thunderstorms on a Friday afternoon, and am so glad I chose to come to Northwest. The course was in perfect condition despite the rain, and it was a great experience beginning to end. Food at the clubhouse was well above average.

I played in the build-up to a big storm, which produced some great links style conditions, and I was able to fly through 18 holes in under two hours! I really enjoyed the course and hope to be back.

I played this course with my family during thanksgiving week, and we played extremely slow even with no one in front of us, so the pace of play is misleading. Choosing the right tees is very important, as there are several forced carries and very challenging holes. I will definitely be back at my next opportunity.

Play was a little slow because of a 45minute+ frost delay that got everyone started close together. The Range is terrible - just mats with a "cage" of netting around it. The back nine is a lot of fun towards the end, lots of tough shots required coming down the stretch.

I've played here three times over the past couple months. The hollow was extremely challenging and tight so I wouldn't recommend playing that nine if you can help it. The ridge is my favorite, especially the 7th-9th holes which are a great way to finish. The meadows is very enjoyable and is probably the most scenic of the three. The range is very reasonably priced ($7 for unlimited), so Potomac ridge is one of my favorite places to practice. Unfortunately the grill area has been closed two of the three times I've been there. I will definitely be back.

I've played Cross Creek quite a bit, and I keep getting excuses about why the 14th hole is no closer to being opened. I know it's not the management's fault because of issues with the ICC, but they need to be more decisive about what they're going to do. The rest of the holes are OK, but the course is nothing to write home about, so the loss of one hole is a big deal. I do enjoy the last couple holes of the front 9.

I like Virginia Oaks a lot and would recommend it to anyone as long as they had 5+ hours free. I think it he island green is both the most desirable feature and the biggest reason for the slowdown.

West fields is my "splurge" (or Golfnow Rewards free hot deal) course of choice in the area. It's a very upscale feel, and I've been impressed by every aspect of the course each time I've been there. The course is plenty long from the Blues, so I haven't had an occasion to try the Boom-Boom tees yet, maybe next time. The staff was great during one rain delay and took care of everyone in the clubhouse. The practice facilities are second to none in the area.

I played this course in the unseasonably warm early december weather. I got a great deal, and I was very impressed with the conditions. There is a lot of water on the course, which made it very challenging, but I will definitely be adding this one to the rotation.

I played this course in November, and was very satisfied with it. I wanted to get in 36 holes, and I was quite upset with the pace of play the first time around (one guy ahead of us was using his ball retriever on every hole that had water), and the first round ended up taking more than 5 hours. Luckily, we didn't have to wait at all on the second round and were able to play it in about 3 hours. The course has a lot of elevation changes, but I found it very enjoyable and a good challenge.

I played this course for the first time a on a Friday afternoon and was extremely pleased with the value. I was able to fly through in not too much more than 3 hours, and I thoroughly enjoyed the course, especially the front 9.

My only qualm with this course is the staff. I was a single, paired with another single through GolfNow. The 2 of us were ready 10 minutes before our tee time, and both were frustrated by the starter, who went out of his way to allow members to jump in front of us before finally letting us out on the back 9. Once we got out on the course, I found it very enjoyable and playable. Most of the holes were very open. I really enjoyed that the last (9th) hole was a downhill par 3 over water, which gave me a chance to lock in a good score.
