Fantastic value for the DC metro area

First time playing this course. It rained a lot the prior day so it was cart path only and the bunkers were pools, but that's completely outside of the course's control. The staff was extremely friendly even more than most courses, the range was accessible and the practice greens were roomy and also conveniently located. I wish the range had yardage markers, but that's just a minor detail. Was it the nicest course I've played in the area? No, but it certainly wasn't the worst. Was it an outstanding value and did I feel like I got well more than my money's worth? Absolutely. Excited to see how this course and club take shape as the further renovations continue.

Great Course & Great Value

By far the best course we have played in the area at a very affordable price. The greens were in great shape and the fairways were pristine aside from 1 or 2 holes. Course layout is another positive and makes for some fun shots and scoring opportunities. The only negative were the bunkers but they warned us ahead of time that the recent rainfall had taken its toll on them. The staff was super friendly and made the round very enjoyable. Overall, the course was in great shape for a very reasonable price. We will definitely be coming back.

A Prince George’s County Jewel

This course is entering into it’s better days for certain. Strong challenging course layout with a few birdie opportunities! Built with more dog leg lefts than the traditional Maryland style courses. The tree lines provide great viewpoints to help follow your shot & doubles as plenty of shade to stay cool. Staff is super friendly & I’m looking forward to coming really soon & potentially becoming a member of this course in the near future. Greens are in good condition & the etiquette of proper golf is clearly well respected at this course.

Great Course

Played the national for the first time. Great layout, fun holes . Challenging but plenty of chances to score . Conditions were great . The staff is super friendly and inviting. Had a chance to talk to some members, they are really nice as well . Really fun place to play golf . The clubhouse is going to look really nice when the renovations are finished. Bunkers could use some work,but looks like they are in the process of doing that as well. Overall great course and staff . Will definitely be back! Thank you.

Under Renovation

I used to be a member and played the course for the first time in 10 years. The place is undergoing a renovation so don't expect a lot in the short term. There's no real restaurant and no real pro shop shop right now. Everything's a mess. As far as the course goes, the greens were fine, the fairways were acceptable but the bunkers were a disaster. They were mostly full of mud except for the two on number nine that can be seen from the road. There was pretty white sand in those. I don't I'll go back until the renovation's complete.

First time at National, won't be the last

Myself and two other buddies played this course the first time after finding it on GolfNow and we'll definitely be back.

The course and the clubhouse is going through a renovation but we were still able to have a great time and played some fun golf.

This course has some holes that provide a challenge but also some holes that help you regain some confidence. There's a par 3 on the back nine that goes from hill to hill that allows you and some friends to have some fun with it. The water on the course really allows you to test your power. Some of the holes are really open and some are very narrow so really provides you an opportunity to shape your shots or just play your power game. The course is going through a renovation but you barely notice it as you go.

The clubhouse, also going through a renovation, looks like its going to be super nice when it's done. The renovations also didn't stop us from enjoying a snack at the turn or a few drinks at the bar.

The staff from the pro shop to the clubhouse were all super nice and friendly and helped guide us around a place we never been. The GM even took a few minutes of his time to check in on us to see how we were enjoying the day.

This course is definitely for anyone that wants a causal round or wants to go out and challenge themselves. You can't beat the price with everything that's included, we'll definitely be back.

Great Experience

This is a hidden gem! With the ongoing renovations you can really start to see things come full circle. The greens were in great shape, fairways nice and green, and all bunkers with fresh sand. The General Manager, Gene Orrico, was more than accommodating and took the time after our round to listen to our feedback. Him and his team are doing amazing things here and I cannot wait to go back and see other improvements. Thanks for the hospitality, Gene and keep up the great work - we will be back!
