Great value for the dollar and friendly knowledgeable staff.

I came to Paint Branch Golf Complex for a Father's Day outing with my husband and son. My son…read morerecently fell in love with golf and wanted to treat his father to a special day on the course. Unfortunately, what should have been a wonderful family memory was completely ruined by the behavior of one of their course marshals, older black gentlemen, he said his name was Mr. Smith. When we arrived, we were upfront and told Mr. Smith that we had only played on a golf course a few times. Instead of using that information to be helpful or patient, he used it as a reason to single us out and hover over our group for the entire round. We understood the pace of play expectations and made every effort to keep up, but the constant monitoring felt more like harassment than course management. When I accidentally drove onto the green, instead of calmly explaining the mistake, Mr. Smith became hostile and condescending. He spoke down to me and my son, refused to let me speak, and physically snatched the key out of our cart. There was no professionalism, no patience, and no basic human respect. We were paying customers on a family outing, not children being disciplined. We did not finish our round. We gathered our belongings and left. We drove up the road to the University of Maryland Golf Course, where we were greeted warmly and treated with complete professionalism by Director Jeff Maynor. That experience reminded us what a welcoming golf environment actually looks like, and it is a standard Paint Branch clearly needs to work toward. I am a federal employee at NASA Headquarters, and many of my colleagues frequent this course. I will be sharing this experience with them. I will also be reporting this matter to the Prince George's County Department of Parks and Recreation. Golf should be accessible and enjoyable for everyone, including families and newer players. The way we were treated does not reflect that value at all.

But this one is just as great and has a few games that we got to enjoy for 30 minutes free. So we took full advantage of that after we did the course. Now I'm not going to lie I didn't think the food would be as good as it was...but oh boy it was very good and cooked fast. I got some wings, guacamole and chips, and tacos and my man got a pizza. We didn't think the pizza would be a full pizza but it was like a large. The drinks we got were very good I got a raspberry lemons drop and orange creamsicle drink and he got his frozen margaritas. I also had a few glasses of Cabernet Sauvignon to round out the night. For a Thursday night it had a great amount of people not too crowded but not empty either. We ended the night sitting out on the courtyard until they closed. Great spot can't wait to go again!

What an awesome experience! We've been wanting to give golf a try in a low pressure environment (we…read moreknow nothing) and popped into CitySwing. We did not know what to expect and left with a great workout, fun experience, and my wife, 4 year old daughter, and I all interested in golf. First off, the staff was amazing! Marquis has been golfing since he was 6 and gave us some quick tips that immediately improved our swing. They also had great cocktails and food and we loved having a private room where we could play music, watch the game, and play and learn at our own pace. They have multiple games including a driving range, courses, and a game where you aim at monsters (which our daughter really enjoyed). The staff provided great recommendations on each game. We immediately signed up for a subscription- the prices were really reasonable, hours are accommodating, and we envision going on our own to practice, bringing our daughter (she's been asking to go back), or going with friends. This would also be a lot of fun for corporate events or team building even if you don't golf and we are looking forward to bringing our teams in the near future. Fun, great for many audiences, and an amazing resource for improving your game!

Puttery DC is a fun spot for mini golf, drinks, and a night out with friends! While waiting for the…read morerest of our party to arrive, I sipped on a Strawberry Kiwi Nojito, which was a tad sweeter than I prefer, and shared the Spinach & Artichoke Dip. The dip was pretty heavily seasoned for my liking. I thought the mini golf pricing was pretty affordable: $18 for one course, $21 for two, or $26 for all three. There are three themed courses--Illusions, Conservatory, and Art--and Conservatory was definitely my favorite! Each course also took us longer than the estimated 10-15 minutes, so we felt like we got a good amount of playtime for the price. One thing to keep in mind for larger parties: only four people can play together at a time. Since we had a group of seven, we had to split into two separate groups. Also, if mini golf isn't your specialty, don't stress! After six shots on a hole, you can move on without it hurting your score further. I also came back for the Frankenstein Bar, and they did an amazing job with the decor. It's such a fun, Instagrammable spot, especially for Halloween season. My favorite drink was the Monstrosity, a cinnamon-forward take on an Old Fashioned. Overall, Puttery DC is a fun and reasonably priced activity in Georgetown, especially if you're looking for something more interactive than just dinner and drinks. I'd definitely recommend checking out the Conservatory course!

What drew me in was Great deals on mini golfing and the happy hour specials…read more As a Walk in for the special golf price . It was crowded. It was a 40min wait. With the manager dedicating it to memory and we had to be in the location to keep our place in line. There was no pager system. Just an honor system. Not sure how legit the process was. We came back 40min later and got our golf clubs. HH special is pretty great! BUT a bait and switch! Not very "happy" about that. Happy hour draft beer were NOT on happy hour! The menu was deceiving. It said drafts for $3. I was very excited cause that deal is probably the best in DC. When we got the bill, it was way over what we expected to pay. It turns out the fine print, which was never printed on the menu. Seated the draft beers were limited to three options. Or bartender never mentioned it. I do feel duped on that. Which worries me that the rest of the menu has other bait and switch options. To the mini golf, which is why everyone goes here. The courses were appropriate. Not too many obstacles or anything interactive. At times it got pretty crowded so there's a long wait. After drinking a few full priced beers we ended up having a lot of fun. I'm not sure how I would've felt if I paid full price for the 3 courses. I would recommend this place when it's not super crowded. And ask your bartender server to clarify the prices on everything before you order.

It is very easy to get to from central NW since it is right off of 16th street. It only costs $25 for 18 and there are some pretty cool, challenging holes. This is a great course if you are looking to not take yourself seriously and have more of a practice round. The Bad: The course is not very well maintained. The fairway is rough and the rough is ruffffffff. Be prepared to lose a lot of balls. Because the fairway is long, even a good shot can be hard to find. The only thing that kept me from going through all the balls in my bag is I found so many. It was obvious balls are hard to see/find on this course cause I would constantly step on them in the fairway and realize no one else was anywhere near me so someone previously must have lost it. Also the course is relatively hilly (which at times is cool) so spotting where your ball went became even more difficult. Because of this and the hazards everywhere I don't think I could ever put money on a round with my friends here. Another agitating characteristic of this course is the hole lengths. I felt like every par 3 was 180-200 yards, which for most casual players (who would be the only people to go to a course like this) is a very awkward distance. There also isn't any par 5s, which at least makes you feel better about your score since I believe par for the course is 66. I will probably come back to this course some time when I really don't care about the round I am playing, but most of the time I am going to drive the extra ten minutes and $10 to play at Langston.

Pull carts are free, but half were broken. There were no tee box markers, so you just had to pick a spot. In fact, there were no signs on any hole. The fairways had more weeds than grass, and the grass was all overgrown. The greens are all ruined with weeds that make it impossible to read the green and make long putts. I wondered why anybody was there, then I realized all of the locals were just walking on and NOT paying. I would never return even if it was free. I read the Yelp reviews before I went, so I was somewhat prepared, but it was even worse than I expected. There is a plan to do a "major" renovation to the course during the next 1-2 years, so maybe one day it will be nice. The one positive, was that the lady that checked me in was pleasant, but I think she was the only one working on the entire course.
