Pohick Bay Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Pohick Bay Regional Park Golf Course in Lorton has been one of the area's most popular public courses since it opened in the early 1980s. Playing at Pohick Bay is like playing two golf courses in one, with a front nine that has long, tree-lined fairways and a hillier back nine that features a variety of doglegs and water holes. It is a definitely a shot-maker's course so be prepared to use some creativity and some thoughtful strategizing doesn’t hurt either. The constant up and down of the golf course provides uneven lies and a number of blind shots. The dramatic terrain also makes it a tough course to walk. Trees frame most of the holes, demanding accuracy but also providing a peaceful and secluded feel. Pohick Bay Regional Park Golf Course is popular amongst locals for being one of the most challenging and yet also one of the most affordable courses in the area.

Great place amazing staff
First off cleanest bathroom out of any golf course I’ve ever golfed at. Besides that great staff, great course, I’ll be back.
Excellent condition
We went out at 5pm and got 16 holes done in 3 hours. We did hear finishing players from earlier complain about a 6 hour round but our pace late in the day was excellent and only $41 twilight rate.
Did you know we’re aerating?
Hadn’t played Pohick in 3 years, ever since they jacked u their prices. Thought I’d give it a try. At check in I was asked if I knew the course conditions. I said know. I was told they are aerating and so the back nine was closed. So two times around. The front nine which had been punched (looked like within the last day) and heavily sanded. I guess it’s too much to ask that the course issue an aerification alert on golf now, like the nicer courses in the area do (e.g. Laurel Hill, Stonewall etc.). I won’t be back!
Great 18 holes
Course in good shape for February. Always my “go to” course
Dynamic course
I have been playing Pohick Bay since 2004 and it’s one of the few courses of which I don’t get tired in NOVA. I love the twists and turns and ups and downs of the place. Huge elevation changes. Sharp doglegs. Blind shots. The greens are usually pretty fast and slope quite a bit. If you are above the hole with a downhill putt, you are dead on some holes. I have my best ever score on this course and also my worst. It will punish you if you are not playing well, but you can take advantage of it if you know the course and are playing well. I think it’s a course that you might like a lot or dislike a lot. Anyway, it’s one of my favorite courses in NOVA and the only courses ahead of it for me are about 2x the price or more.
Great Course -Check Price
We got it for $25. They told us it was a mistake and should have been $50
Great deal for $25, NOT worth 50 in winter

Solid challenging course
Fun course that’s very well maintained. Don’t come here to post a PR, it’s super challenging! Staff is professional and friendly. Greens are maintained well. Rough is hit or miss
