  Public 코스. D.C 에 있는 저렴한 곳으로 골프 초린이 연습으로 좋아요. 18홀은 힘들어 9홀만 치는 제겐 괜찮아요. 물가라 골프 치고 주위 산책하기 좋구요~

  East Potomac is a classic mixed bag—the potential and location are incredible, but the facility is definitely showing its age. For those unfamiliar, the complex has three setups: the 18-hole Blue Course (regulation length where you can take a cart), the 9-hole White Course (an executive mix of par 3s and 4s), and the 9-hole Red Course, which is a walking-only par-3 loop. They also have a busy two-tier driving range and plenty of flat putting areas. If you are brand new to the game and do not have your own set yet, they make it easy by letting you borrow clubs, making it a very welcoming entry point for beginners. We played the Red Course on a Saturday morning ($20/person) and ran into some serious pacing hiccups. After starting about 15 minutes past our 8:00 AM tee time, we ended up waiting on literally every hole, dragging a short 9-hole walk out to an hour and a half. The compact routing is also pretty dicey safety-wise—the tee boxes sit right next to the greens, and we nearly took stray balls to the face twice, so you really have to keep your head on a swivel. Conditions were rough around the edges with mostly flat greens, rock-hard sand in the bunkers after the previous night's rain, bird droppings all over the grounds, and a main clubhouse building that feels noticeably run-down. Despite the rough shape, the setting is hard to beat. Being right on the water at Hains Point with planes flying overhead, cyclists looping the park, and The Wharf right across the river for post-round lunch gives it a great local vibe. There has been a lot of talk and planning around major overhauls and restorations for the course through the National Park Service and National Links Trust, and it honestly desperately needs that refresh. If the planned renovations eventually bring the drainage, clubhouse, and course layouts up to standard, this place could easily become a world-class municipal gem. For now, it is a fun, casual spot for a cheap practice round as long as you know what to expect.

  1 star. Completely unacceptable treatment from the staff. I went to East Potomac Golf Club this morning, and the course was severely backed up. We waited about 30 minutes at the first hole before we were able to start. We were patient, understanding, and did not complain. The real problem began when I finally stepped up to the tee. A staff member immediately started yelling at me, “Go, go, go! If you don’t go now, I’ll kick you off the course.” He shouted this in front of multiple groups and treated us as though we were responsible for the delay, even after we explained that we had just reached the tee and had been waiting like everyone else. His behavior was aggressive, humiliating, and completely unprofessional. Instead of managing an overcrowded course properly, he chose to publicly intimidate paying customers and blame us for a backup we did not cause. There was no reason to speak to anyone that way. Being busy does not excuse disrespectful staff behavior. This was one of the worst customer-service experiences I have had at a golf course, and it completely ruined the morning. I would not recommend East Potomac Golf Club to anyone who expects to be treated with basic courtesy and respect.

  The course was in decent shape, and for a public course, you can only expect so much. It’s a great value for the price, and the location is hard to beat. The views of the Washington Monument while you’re out on the course are incredible, and there really isn’t another golf experience quite like it.

  Played on July 17th, 2026 - The greens were in very good shape. However, the fairways were awful (see picture - the light green is the fairway). Pro shop staff was very helpful and professional. For the second time, the older gentlemen who is the cart attendant/starter was extremely rude. He needs to be fired because it starts your round off the wrong way. The first time we assumed he was just having a bad day - but once it happens twice, he needs to be fired. This course was in much better shape last November, 2025. Hopefully, Trump takes over this property and makes it special. Could be an amazing track if well maintained and funded properly. Driving range is old to say the least - but certainly better than not having a driving range.
