Escape near DC

Nice layout in only fair condition. Tee boxes and traps need work. On a nice Monday course was quiet,, played in < 4 hours and feels like you are away, even though close to DC. Driving range and short game warm up areas available. Clubhouse Undergoing renovations so can’t comment on off course amenities.

Not worth the money…

Play somewhere else… Not sure how this course is labeled as a private club. The practice facilities are minimal and bare, the clubhouse has bare minimum for food and drinks, no bar or restaurant staff, and the course is clearly neglected by not only the staff but their members as well. Every green had over 20+ ball divots not repaired, bunkers were full of grass and rocks (and water), one tee box was completely sand, and most fairways barely had any grass. We traveled from another state to play here with high hopes, but unfortunately it might be in the bottom 5 courses I’ve ever played. It also poured rain the day before and the course could have debatably been closed with water puddles all over. I would look elsewhere to play in this area.

Not a Country Club

False advertisement, amazing they can consider themselves a Country Club - no driving range available, course need to be arated abd seeded. Very thin grass with bare spots down fairways, club house has been under construction for 2 years, with very little progress. No cigars available, no beverage cart, lack of staff. Place is falling apart
Just a step above Hawthorn CC, stay away for at least 2 month to give them chance to improve course conditions.

Great value and staff

The course was in good shape for so early in the season. The greens were really good. They were having a tournament on the day we played and they worked us in without any delay. The staff was super friendly. We were in DC for the weekend and the locals were great as well. I will defiantly play again when I am in DC.

It’s OK

For a last minute tee time it’s not bad. I wouldn’t recommend going out if your way to play this course. But if your in the area it’s convenient and not expensive.

I liked the layout, but the greens were in horrible condition. They must've just aerated them, but was not made aware of this until we were stepped onto the 1st green. Paid way too much for what we received

I’ll never play here again

Everything about this club is poor. Terrible clubhouse and the course condition was among the worst I’ve ever played. On top of that the layout is very average. I’ll never play here again. Much better options at all his price point

Great Course for the Price

As a semi-private course, you definitely receive the benefits of free range balls, friendly staff, a course that's in great shape and a quick round. What more could you want around here? Truly thinking about becoming a member because of this. We ended up playing 27 holes in about 4.5 hours. Incredible.

Expected more

Granted it was wet but the course was in average condition. Staff were all very friendly and welcoming. Clubhouse looks very rundown, definitely doesn’t look like the pics online. Fun to play but likely won’t be back.

Not great, not terrible.

Decent course layout, fairways were good, lots of dogleg and some blind water hazards if you are playing here for the first time. The greens and tee boxes were a bit rough overall, bumpy roll every green.

Not worth the money

Although the layout was really neat, the course conditions left a lot to be desired for 80$. Patchy greens, bare tee boxes. Will not be coming back.
