Algonkian Regional Park Golf Course was designed by architect Ed Ault and opened for play in 1962. This is a very demanding parkland style course, with a long, narrow front nine, and a rolling back nine. In addition, two lakes and a stream come into play on six holes. The fairways are tree lined, and the large, undulating greens are moderate in speed.

This course was built on rolling terrain that was once farm land. The front nine has more wide open fairways than the back nine, while the back has the tree windbreaks previously planted for protecting the crops. All the greens, as well as some fairways, are well bunkered. The greens vary in size, and some of them are elevated. The most difficult hole is 7, a 586-yard, par 5, requiring a straightaway tee shot to a two-tiered fairway, plus an approach shot to one of the elevated greens.

This championship course covers over 118 acres of rolling landscape. The natural rock formations and walls, along with the densely wooded areas, plus meandering creeks were all integrated into the design of this course. The Washington Times calls it, (a snazzy, eighteen hole smorgasbord of sly greens, generous spaces, and tree-framed valleys).

This facility opened a second eighteen hole course in 1999, the River Course, to give it thirty-six holes. The River Course is links in design, with considerably more water affecting play than the original Island Course. The signature hole is 12, a 344-yard, par 4, which has water that runs down the entire left side of the dogleg left fairway. A bunker guards the right side of the fairway. Golfers have the option of using a driver to carry the bunker, or an iron to lay up short. The front nine on the Island Course is a links-style design and the back nine is traditional in design. The course has greens and tree-lined fairways.

Virginia Golf Courses Comments:
The links-style course has plenty of undulation that will cause uneven lies. The course wanders through Raspberry Plain, which was established in the 18th Century as one of the most productive plantations in all of Virginia. A water hazard comes into play on just one hole, but there are stacked-sod sand bunkers (stacked sod lines the surrounding walls of the sand bunker) throughout the design. Wildlife occasionally seen on the course includes deer or fox. Rock outcroppings are popular in this area, so are Civil War era stone walls, which were reconstructed on holes 3 and 9.

This course stretches along two miles of the Potomac River, northwest of Washington D.C. Five holes on the course border the Potomac and two holes mingle with Goose Creek. The course is very scenic with many elevation changes. The signature hole is 15, a 391-yard, par 4, which requires a tee shot over a large cavern. The second shot necessitates careful navigation around the Potomac, which borders the green.

This course, which opened August 1, 1997, features wide fairways, some lined with trees. The terrain is flat, but you may find a few uneven lies. Water hazards come into play on fourteen holes. The greens are small, sloped and fairly slow. The signature hole is 3, a 543-yard, par 5, which plays to a straight fairway, but the green is protected by a creek in front, two bunkers on the right and one bunker on the left. The green is also sloped from the back to the front.

This par 3 course requires accurate shotmaking abilities because a fence (considered as an out-of-bounds barrier) lines four holes. In addition, water hazards come into play on three other holes. The fairways are large, and the greens are fast.

This course, a Scottish links-style design, provides a beautiful view of the Shenandoah Mountains. There is water coming into play on four holes, plus the some of the undulating greens are double-tiered. The fairways are tree lined, and greenside sand bunkers are common place. The course is located about fifteen miles west of Leesburg. Maki has incorporated Civil War features that date back to 1850, including a manor house that was converted into the pro shop, plus an abandoned stone house on hole 13, a 170-yard, par 3, which was once a toll gate for the old Snickersville Turnpike.

This well-maintained course isn't very difficult. The fairways are open, and the somewhat undulating greens are medium in speed and size. The terrain is rolling, and there is a creek meandering throughout the course that comes into play on thirteen holes.
