DC WRX'ers course ideas for Wash DC area nov 9

retep · October 25, 2006

friend in town,(crystal city) where should we play?

so got a friend coming in from seattle. want to play somewhere nice, but .... i think based upon him being in crystal city and me picking him up, would be good to go somewhere NICE near that side of the beltway/ more or less... follow me? I would go to whiskey creek, but that is too far from there hassle wise in my opinion... ideas? Renditions? i never play/haven't played on the east part of the dc area. thanks for the help...

I played a tournament at Renditions early this summer, and I hated it. I think it's built on an old quarry or something, but the fairways and greens were really scruffy, and the ground was literally rock-hard.

I'd take him to Raspberry Falls or Westfields.

The best course close to that area would be Laurel Hill in Lorton. If you are willing to drive further then there are great courses in the area.

I don't know if it's where you are but I was just up at a buddy's last weekend visiting and we played a course called Potomic Ridge golf links It was just an all around beautiful course and a bit of a challenge. It's located in Waldorf MD, but that isn't far from downtown DC at all. Look it up... I think it was worth it.

Raspberry Farms in Leesburg, Army-Navy in DC, Westfields in Chantilly. All good courses.

Raspberry's always in good shape....I played Whiskey Creek last weekend and it is absolutely prime. The foliage is breathtaking along with the elevation changes and wildlife.

I also agree with Laurel Hill. That's almost like a private C.C. setting.

You can't go wrong with Virginia National. It's serene.

Stonewall is pricey but well worth it. It's right next to RTJ (Robert Trent Jones).

Renditions= :drinks:

Definitely Laurel Hills based on you wanting to stay close to that area. There's also Old Hickory, which isn't that much further away. However, you can't go wrong with Whiskey Creek, Raspberry Falls, Westfields or Stonewall (don't think it's worth the price though) if you decide to go a little further away. There's also Cannon Ridge in Fredericksburg, but probably further than you want to drive.
