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.

Hard but nice course

Course plays very long. Usually play from whites but that was a tough challenge here. Heavy elevation changes throughout course. Driver has to be top notch to score well

fun and challenging course. super fast greens probably due to no rain in over a month. greens are normally fast, but not this fast. greens have lots of breaks/ turns. very fun to putt. the rough is always penal at this course, partly because it is a hilly, undulating course.

… too expencive for course conditions (my opinion 😀). Only good greens … but too much unrepaired ball marks - may be a general problem by users , they do not enough realize that they are harming themselves 👎🏽 !!!
+ : layout is good and very varied, greens (remember: unrepaired ball marks)
- : gas carts, no gps, very bad fairways
Not again for me.
