I just hope NLT starts to actually rehab this course because it has so much potential.

Was a brutally windy day, but pace of play was very good, especially for cart path only.

Have played at Langston a lot in the past 5 years and up until yesterday have been disappointed every single time. What a change with the green and the grounds. Good job so far NLT

The cost is too high for this course. Go elsewhere unless you’re in DC and can pop out for a quick round. It was not that today.

Our 3 person round started at 8am and ended just after 11am. Only ran up on the group ahead on two holes. Fairways were immaculate. Perfectly manicured. Greens rolled well, but could be faster. I love this course.

I drove down from DC to play and really enjoyed the challenge. If you can’t hit your drive 270+ it’s an almost impossible course from the Invicta tees. This Mike Strantz layout is amazing, long but with the same flair as the ones in NC. .

The only problem with the course is the fairway, which looked and felt more like a low cost muni than a world class club.

I hate this course, in a good way. Always a really hard test, especially when the wind speed is high. Greens were in great shape. Drainage problems of 2019 are gone. Today the rough was PGA Tour thick, which made out even more challenging.

With MD and DC courses shut down, I"ve been playing a lot of VA courses and this is top 3 for public courses without a doubt. Our group was a little slow today, but if you're not allowing 4.5 hours for a round of golf these days, what's wrong with you?! The wind made it harder for sure, especially on the back nine where there's water and some very long par 4's.

If this was 30 minutes closer to DC, this would be my home course. The setup off the course is exactly what you want. The staff is great, range ball's included, course in great shape, and a pretty tough layout even at less than 7,000 yards.

Great fun for a short course. 6700 from the tips. Very well maintained. Love the fairways. Even the bunkers were in good shape. Driving range is small but good for a warm up. Massive putting green was very helpful for my no 3-putt round.

Great for practicing controlled shots. It’s a very short course, but tight. The fairways are only 17-20 yards wide. The rough is thick - right now at least. Greens are pretty slow, but in good shape. Easy 3.5 hour walk. No range. No putting green. No need to come early. Take a two off number one.

Hard course from the tips when the wind is gusting at 25mph. Great course though. Greens rolled well, fairways in great shape, cart paths horrific. Walk and you’ll be fine.

When you share a cart (I walked) you can’t have social distancing. This is one of many VA courses that do this. Under normal conditions, it is a great course, very challenging, target golf links style and great fun.

First off, there was no mention of aerated greens before I tee’d off, so I was a bit tee’d off after hole number one. The course is pretty fun and tough and with the greens up to speed, it would be a great municipal course. Not with $70. That’s two rounds walking at UMD’s course which is much better. Of course, down in Stafford there isn’t a lot of choice maybe. The staff was excellent! The starter and pros were awesome. Don’t know if that would make me drive an hour from the DC to play again.

Any weekend from now until the end of the fall this course will play to 5 hour minimum time. It’s got municipal level players on a solid track. Played 9 in 2 hours and 35 minutes today. Had to leave after 9.

The layout lends itself to confusion and slower pace of play. Some of the back tee boxes are set off from the others adding an added layer of difficulty and vantage point. Cool course, lots of water, but pretty easy if you don’t get wet.
