I like the convenience of this course, but the grounds aren't the best. The ground was pretty dry…read moreand took a while for me to be able to push my tee down. The grounds team also decided to water a hole for 15 minutes which prevented us from playing. We then kept getting yelled at to play faster and that we were slowing things down, which was pretty frustrating. I might try again in the fall.

A little gem in the heart of Silver Spring. Over the last few years the county has threatened…read morecountless times to close this little course. Happy to see the surrounding community and golfers alike came together to save this little course from both MoCo bureaucrats and greedy developers. For those who care about such things, this course was the original location for Argyle Country Club. ACC moved to its current location in Layhill after the club sold the course to the MoCo government in the late 1940s as plans were made to build the capital beltway (holes 3 & 4 are adjacent to 495 beltway). The original clubhouse did burn down so the current clubhouse is what the county built. Sligo is a 9 hole facility. Very short course and very walkable. I usually play here after work or put on the practice greens when I'm in the area and just wanna get away from things. Pace of play is almost always slow as most golfers who play here aren't very good or are learning the game. Also don't look to post your scores on this course as USGA doesn't have an official slope rating for this course. This is a great little course to learn the game, get a quick 9 in, or practice round. Staff is great, little pro shop is decently stocked (for immediate purposes of playing this course), great little snack bar is ok. Nice selection of beers (bottled, canned, and even a few on tap). Pitchers are also offered (lest they used to be at least). Staff have done a great job in keeping those course running along with Sligo Creek Golf Association (SCGC) and Friends of Sligo Creek to bring the First Tee to the course along with the live music concerts on Fridays (more info on both of those things available else ware...i.e. Google). All in all, support this course. MoCo bureaucrats and developers STAY AWAY!

My golf game has been stagnant for 15 years. My slice remained strong, my iron work remained weak…read moredespite lots of conventional golf lessons. Working with Nondh Amranand at Golftec has been a breakout for my game. The technology of the launch monitor combined with video replay and Nondh's observations accelerated my game to where I am now eager to get on the course rather than avoiding the tee box. Flaws were immediately visible on the video and results were immediately visible in the launch monitor where I could see the distance I was hitting the ball and the angle of flight. The three forms of feedback moved my game from stagnant to dynamic with improvements coming quickly. Highly recommend Nondh for his great insights and creative techniques to improve my swing.

Therefore I never got to try what they recommended and they charged me $150 not to be able to try what they recommended because they did not have it in stock.

Note: Golf review only…read more I LOVE this track. It hosted the 1921 US Open which already says a lot. There is so much history here and it is a fantastic location. I know some complain about the layout but they truly maximize the land they have. It will be interesting to see how the Purple Line affects a hole or two. The mix at this course both off the tee and into the green will test every part of your game. They also have some of the best greens I have ever played on and apparently this is a constant throughout the year. One hint, stay below the hole. The par 3 16th (I believe) is iconic and may have been the influence for Augusta National's famed 12th hole. The 18th is a brute and a beauty heading back to the clubhouse. I have also had a great experience with everyone playing at and working for this country club the two times I had the privilege of playing it. I played in a match here and they guys we played against were great golfers and even better hosts. Bob Dolan, the head professional here for decades, was also very gracious. It was fun being in the presence of a legend. And while there is a very high end feel to the club, I never felt too out of place here. That's saying a lot for a guy who grew up only being able to afford munis. And there are other prestigious country clubs in the area where I can't say the same. Obviously it was an absolute privilege to play here, and I hope to be back some day.

This review is only for their events:…read more Columbia Country Club does a pretty stand-up job with large parties. I generally host quarterly dinners here for my company with about 40-55 people total. The grounds are very nice and the clubhouse has the feel of old money exclusivity. We have used two of their larger private rooms for our dinner presentations and all evenings have run smoothly. They do have microphone and projector screen on-hand. The events are never understaffed and dinner service and passed apps always move in a timely fashion. The food is decent for larger events. The past apps are really good, I'd suggest the bbq chicken cups and coconut fried shrimp. The entrees are standard and mediocre which is common for groups over 20 at all venues with the beef being slightly above average and the crab cakes slightly below. The food always arrives promptly on my timeline which is key in our business meetings. The main ballroom, I think, is best for business/corporate events. Although, classy with a pretty patio attached, the ceilings are low and it doesn't have a real WOW factor for a wedding. Very little direction is needed here and this club truly is a "yes" club. Parking can be an issue if there are multiple events on your evening, valet is available if there is an attendant on-hand. Jackets are required for men after either 4 or 5pm and there is also a no cellphone policy.

I've been to the PGA Superstore in Rockville before and never had any issues trying out clubs…read more However, my recent visit was disappointing. I brought a friend who's new to golf to try some irons. We were told to wait, and after about 10 minutes, an employee named Dan took us to a simulator. When my friend said he wanted to "hit balls," Dan immediately got condescending and reprimanded us, even though it was clear my friend was new and simply misspoke. Later, when I asked to try a couple clubs while my friend grabbed others, Dan asked if I planned to buy anything. I said possibly, depending on the data and pricing. He responded with a sarcastic comment implying I was just there to "bang balls," then walked off saying, "have fun banging balls." The entire interaction was unprofessional and left a really bad impression. Unfortunately, I won't be returning after this experience.

One thing we quickly realized was that the Osprey's had excellent customer service. Every question we had was answered quickly. Vanessa was very friendly, professional, and easy to work with. Even with the follow up questions we had after our tour, Vanessa responded to our emails quickly. Once we were about 45 days away from the wedding, we were paired with Tori, who was our Event Director. When we met with Tori, she was very friendly and helpful. One thing that we found helpful was the timeline template they provided us with. It helped us plan out our reception details with ease. One thing to note was that the Osprey's provides a list of preferred vendors to work with, such as DJ's, caterers etc. Their preferred list was a God send! We ended up hiring 2 of their preferred vendors and so happy we did! The day of our wedding was PERFECT. Everything we planned and wanted actually happened. I received so many compliments about the venue and my wedding and I was so happy our guests truly enjoyed it. Tori did a fantastic job as our event director and made sure we followed the timeline and kept things moving with ease. While the day flew by, we simply had an amazing wedding. I wanted to send a huge thank you to both Vanessa and Tori for making our special day go so well. :)

The moment I saw Wade who fitted my daughters' clubs 12 years ago, he not only recognized me but asked about my profession as a structural engineer.

The session this time went extremely well and pleasantly and I was very impressed by Wade's science based swing analysis and his ability to pin out how I can best improve my game. If you are looking to move your or your loved ones' golf game to a new level, this is the place to be! Thank you Wade and Jack for being a blessing to many. Bing from North Potomac MD

We settled on a bottle of the White Blend, the "Front Porch". It was not groundbreaking yet likable worked as a clean canvas that went with a lot of foods, not oaky, tangy, sweet, or dry.

The burger was pretty big and looked satisfying. My friend said the crab dip was really good, too. The best part for me was trying their wines while engaging with our server and the general manager. We talked about some of the events like wine tasting and menu changes and line dancing. We saw more of the gorgeous venue and bookable space for 300 indoors.
