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.

Almost All Good
Played 18 with my spouse. We were paired with another couple that both had good game/swings, and we teed off on time. Pohick has added landing area targets (greens) to the driving range, the bathrooms have been re-done and conditioning is improved. Management has also added new forward tee boxes on several holes. My wife gets an obscene advantage there. Pohick is doing lots of things right. I would recommend it to anyone, but I don't want it to become more popular.
The usual bummers apply: un-filled divots (I use the divot mix, but there has been the occasional time that it was not on the cart or empty), unfixed ball marks, trash that missed the garbage can etc.
danielbird, thanks for taking time out of your day to review us. See you next time!

Overcrowded and under maintained.
Pohick is a gorgeous course geographically. Saturday was overcrowded and the ground was like concrete. Not enough carts and the groups were so closely released that we waited 20 minutes at each tee while the group behind us hit balls mere feet from us. We won’t go back if we can help it. Unfun and dangerous not to mention darn expensive for the poor golfing experience.

Fun course, some difficult holes
Hadn’t played Pohick for a few years but will be back again soon. It plays longer than nominal yardage and some holes are quite difficult, especially the par 3s. Course is in good shape. Pace of play not bad.
Thanks so much for the kind words, Parky1. Hope to see you again in the near future!
