Number 10 closed,

Only played 17 holes because number 10 closed for a year . Grass is inconsistent in fairways and rough not cut in a lot of spots . Crab grass and roots . Not pristine by any stretch. Greens always pretty good . Lots of sharp sidehill putts. Number one is not a good starting hole . Not a great layout . Good for practice hitting it straight

DC,
Thanks for playing Lake of the Woods Golf Club.
Hole 8 has some ground under repair to improve the 150 yards and in fairway but is open.
Hole 10 will be closed most of the summer as we have a stormwater management project in progress.

Perfect day

Great day for golf. Challenging course, electric cart and staff was very friendly. Fairways were in very good condition and a couple of days of good rain will make this course a bargain. Will play again soon.

Mixed bag

People are awesome. Greens and bunkers are in good shape. Fairways and tee boxes are a joke - mostly dirt and sand

Hi. Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. Your feedback about the course is important to us. We are working to get everything up to par. We have projects ongoing to recover the fairways and greens. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We are going to escalate your feedback to our team so we can make improvements before your next game, and we will continue to work towards an excellent experience by using your comment for guidance. Thank you for playing our course. We hope to see you again soon.

Great course

I love this course! Staff is amazing and so are the golf carts. The fairways are doing great this spring and the greens very well kept up, hardly a ball mark on them. Highly recommend.

Over all nice course for the value

Driving range would be nice but for winter golf the course was in pretty good shape. Greens were solid. I am excited to play this later in the year.

Winter play

Played on a sunny day at the end of winter. The greens were in fantastic shape. Different tiers in the greens made putting challenging and fun. The fairways still in winter growth gave extra distance on drives and fairway play

Great Course

This course gets better and better. It is a challenging course that will keep you on your toes. Well groomed and definitely well maintained. The maintenance crew are doing a great job with dealing with things outside their control—wildlife, rain, snow while the professional golf course management team keeps players moving. Love it!!

Great condition for winter golf

Greens were in great condition for winter golf in the mid-Atlantic. Probably the best in the area that I've seen during this winter season. Rolled true and fast, no bald spots or pitch marks left over. Bunkers were also in great condition. Sand looked to be almost brand new.

Tee boxes, fairways and rough were what you'd expect for east coast winter golf. But compared to the chewed up or downright mud conditions I've seen from other courses in the DC area this winter, this place was in great condition. You'll still find bald spots and wet areas but with rain, wind and snow this time of year, that can't be helped. I'll definitely be back.
