Lochan S.

Great course for a reasonable price! Very friendly staff. Great for beginners or people with a bit more experience.

Like the other municipal DC courses, there's no telling what this stick means. Yardage is an issue.

Kinda still the same rundown spot it was many years ago - needs some renovating. But beauty of the natural scenery of the river is nice

East Potomac is a classic mixed bag--the potential and location are incredible, but the facility is…read moredefinitely 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.

I love calling East Potomac my home course. It's convenient to reach if you're coming from VA, PGC,…read moreor downtown DC; they have plenty of tee times available; the clubhouse has great food; and they have three putting greens and a driving range with Toptracer technology. East Potomac has a course for everyone no matter their skill level or time commitment. They offer a 9-hole Par 3 (Red course), 9-hole (White course), and a 18-hole (Blue course) course that are all enjoyable to play and are manageable for even beginners to play. The pace of play is usually good, but on a nice day you might run into a bit of a delay (worst I've seen is about 10-15min behind). The greens and tee boxes aren't always in the best condition, but they're maintained fairly well on all three courses that it won't throw off your game. For the cost of play, it's hard to beat the value you get from playing at East Potomac. ALSO, I always forgot that they have a newly renovated mini golf course if you're looking for something a little more lighthearted to play.

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.

He and his team took such great care of us and he was incredibly friendly throughout the event. Honestly, I would come back just because of the amazing service he provided. The food was great as well. We had pre-selected menu items that included signature wings, tenderloin sliders, Margherita and pepperoni flatbreads, Caprese sliders, feta and spinach stuffed phyllo, and pesto chicken skewers. Everything was flavorful and definitely hit the spot after some friendly competition with my coworkers. Pinstripes has a lot to offer, and I'll definitely be back. They have so many events happening, from happy hours to Music Bingo, and I believe they also host live bands. Whether you're looking for a fun night out, great food or a place to bring a group, Pinstripes is worth checking out! Highly recommend!

I knew Matt, the Golf Doctor, from a few years back when he was working for someone else. He was…read morealways a great dude and I'm glad to see him doing well here. So I saw him for a putter fitting. I had done a SAM PuttLab fitting years ago in the past but had heard great things about Quintic. And wow, was it eye opening! Actually my father-in-law around the same time had scheduled a putter fitting with Matt as well. So we ended up going together and spent almost three hours on the putting green in the shop. SAM is more keyed in on the stroke, but Quintic has a much better representation of what the ball is doing. Both are good but let's just say I'm happy to have done this putter fitting. Here's a breakdown of how the putter fitting process went: First, Matt had us use our own putter and he placed a mirror on the face of it. When we aligned ourself to the hole, he had a laser from the hole pointing at the ball. And when the ball was removed, we could see how good or bad our aim was. After we just putted a bunch of balls to the hole. He looked consistency in our putting stroke, what type of arc we had, what length and look was best, etc. My FIL and I had vastly different fittings at this point. He wanted to start from scratch as he had a putter from 20 years ago that was too short and light. I just wondered if I could either tweak my gamer or see if anything was better. After we were relatively settled Matt then put us on the Quintic camera and software. It was so cool! We saw lots of stats regarding our stroke that I won't bore you all with. Most importantly for me was I had too much loft and the ball was skidding a ton before rolling. For me, Matt tweaked my putter's loft and lie and already I started seeing some better results. There was one putter that may have been marginally better, but he didn't try to do a hard sell which is always a big negative in most stores. For my FIL, he definitely needed something different than he had and I could already see him being more confident at the end of his session. Only trivial negatives I'll add are the selection is really, really good but isn't the best in the area. Also since I was there for a while parking had to be in a garage but that's DC. Lots of awesome things going on at the Gold Doctor in the middle of DC. I can't wait to go back and check out what else Matt has to offer.

Matt is fantastic. He's genuinely kind, patient, and honest throughout the entire fitting process…read more Matt will work with you to find a combination of clubs, shafts, and grips that work and feel best for you. He truly goes above and beyond to provide excellent service. I couldn't recommend him enough - I've even told some of my friends out of town that it's worth it to come to Matt here in DC for their next fitting. You won't regret going to Matt for your fitting - I'll definitely be coming back whenever I need another fitting or tweaks to my clubs!

It's in the Union Market area, and it's helpful that a parking garage is connected to the building. The race simulators are really fun, but a night out there can get pricy, especially with food.

We signed up to race and we were told our start time would be 8 pm (we opted to walk in instead of making a reservation.) This gave us 45 minutes to relax at the bar. I tried a chocolate martini and it was very good, it definitely had some "kick" to it. There were no complaints from our group on any of the cocktails, and the espresso martini was also a favorite amongst the group. I noticed at the bar some of the staff were not super friendly and didn't have high energy. Though this seems like a high energy place. Nevertheless the bar was extremely large and the few staff members may have just been exhausted. As for the racing, I felt it could be more interactive. It was only slightly better than other racing games at any other typical arcade. Yes, the chairs inside the racing simulators shake and move, and there are nice sound effects but I don't think it's worth the price. We played a package of 3 games each, and each game lasted between 8-9 minutes. While it was fun, it wasn't something I'd likely do again, but I would return for cocktails or appetizers perhaps. Parking garage located directly below the facility. I found the facility was neat and clean.
