This “municipal course” is absolutely awesome. To play golf with the Washington monument among other historical buildings in your backdrop on several holes is enough to make this an amazing round. BUT the greens are extremely well maintained, the course is not very challenging but fun still, and being smack in the middle of the Potomac makes this an absolutely beautiful round. Oh yeah, and you cannot beat the price. It’s also a very short cab ride from downtown. I took an e bike with my bag on my back on the trip home to the hotel at H and 11th. Designated bike path on 15th makes it a safe and a super fun ride home. Bring your clubs when you travel to DC and play here. It’s worth it.

I read the AP news story about the "upgrades". I worked at East Potomac Congressional Golf Course when it was about 50 years old for a couple of year while at university. Looking at the photos on Google, it looks much the same. The clubhouse was a treasure. I met HHH there when he was playing the links. Great course. And check out the mini-golf... I could still kick your tail there!!! After hours, don't tell Jerry, but there is nothing like golf cart polo on the Driving Range. But seriously, there is no more cool golfing venue in the US. And with the river, even in summer this is a very special place!

Didn’t go there to play golf. I went for the cherry blossoms and they did not disappoint. They were spectacular. I recommend it for next year and the years after. This year the blossoms peaked march 23 and 24 th. Great picture taking opportunities. Wear comfortable shoes.

My buddies and I planned out a sunday trip to go golfing here, seemed like a cool course, wanted to go have some fun as a fouresome. We checked in, had a smooth experience, walked to the white course for our 1:10 pm tee time. What time did we tee off? 1:30! The group infront of us had at least 7 people playing as singles, they had no course respect, this led to a horrible experience. We went hoping for a memorable and fun experience, but left with the memories of standing around. I wouldnt have been so mad if I wasnt on a tight schedule, we planned for the round to take just over 2 hours, it took 4 HOURS! This was ridiculous, and i didnt see a single ranger to report the issue. Extremely frustrating, wish we couldve had an enjoyable time at this course.

In the middle of the Capital area,.not a bad place. On a Tuesday, it was steadily busy up past 7pm. Double decker driving range and multiple practice putting greens. This 18-hole course wasn't great, but it wasn't bad either. Being in mid-April in VA, it still wasn't up to a lush summertime presentation yet. The greens had been airaited within a week or so, making them a bit bumpy. I had a couple approach shots landing just short of the green that took crazy bounces due to the grass there being inconsistent and sometimes being non-existent. Tee boxes have seen better days. They were chewed up, leaving hardly any grass along with a difficult time finding a level surface. A mostly straight course and all flat, with a few trees in your way. Multiple services are available to do work on your cluds, as well as a loaded clubhouse with a restaurant that was built about 100 years ago. Overall, it's a place I'd come back to.
