Tee time at 10:48. Arrived at 10am with hope of warming up at the range. Found out that the range is closed every Tuesday morning. As a visitor from California, I wanted to reacquaint myself with my old golf set left with my son here in Upper Marlboro. The morning closure of the range was an added twist to the start of my round. Beyond that, the gentleman I paired with for the round was an excellent playing partner and we connected as if we had known each other for a while. The course is challenging but fair. I struggled through the first five holes but managed to salvage a score of 85.

Excellent value for the money especially with GolfNow Hot Deals.

The staff attitude to a visitor was not welcoming. The pro shop was closed with a note to go to the bartender upstairs. Staff in the office was not helpful either even in giving direction to the putting green. Supposedly there was a tournament which had ended at least more than 30 minutes before I arrived since I saw most of them leaving as I pulled into the parking lot. When the guy in the pro shop finally returned, he was quite helpful and friendly. The others acted as if they did not want me there. I was there for a round of golf not to take up residence. Course layout is excellent and the greens rolled through and through. Fairways were in good condition. A very good course for the money except for the poor and prejudiced attitude of the staff.

Course is in excellent shape. Fairways are well maintained but could be suffering from too much irrigation in some spots. Greens are in superb conditions and bunkers are well maintained. I know because I was in more than seven of them during the course of my round. High handicap players should consider playing the white or gold tees. The white tee is about 6,900 yards.

For the price - $12, I have no reason to complain. Other then the greens, the whole course looks like "ground under repair" due to lack of maintenance. It appears they're letting the course go.

The most enjoyable part was the group I was with. The pace of play was extremely slow for the first nine holes because we were the first group to follow a junior tournament. Thereafter, the pace of play picked up quite considerably. The course layout has always been very attractive to me and quite challenging for my level of play. The staff was friendly and the hot deal price was quite attractive. The greens rolled pretty well. Overall, it was a pleasant afternoon.

It's a good value for the money. The pace of play was relatively slow, Course has no driving range or chipping area, as such, it might take at least a couple of holes to warm up.

Course layout is good. Greens conditions are generally good. Fairways pretty barren, but playable.

Natural course layout and topography is above average and makes for a challenging but fun experience. However, the lack of maintenance takes a lot away from an otherwise a well laid out course design. The greens are relatively bare appearing as if left to die.
