District of Columbia Golf Courses
Washington, D.C. has a small collection of public golf courses, all operated under the same management and open to the public without membership. East Potomac Golf Links on Hains Point is the largest, with an 18-hole course playing 6,599 yards at par 72 along the Potomac River. Cherry blossom trees line several holes, and views extend across the Washington Channel toward the monuments. Langston Golf Course in northeast D.C. is an 18-hole regulation course at 6,652 yards, with a significant place in the history of African American golf. Rock Creek Park Golf Course is a compact 9-hole layout playing 2,284 yards at par 32, tucked into the park’s wooded ravines in the upper northwest quadrant of the city.
The season runs roughly March through December. D.C.’s Mid-Atlantic climate brings humid summers with highs in the upper 80s and mild springs and falls that are the best months for a round. Winter cold occasionally shuts courses down for short stretches, but extended closures are rare. All three courses sit on flat to gently rolling ground, making them easy to walk.
Green fees are among the most affordable in the region, with Rock Creek Park priced at Economy level and East Potomac at Standard. Langston charges slightly more at Premium pricing. For golfers looking for more options, Maryland and Virginia courses in the surrounding suburbs are typically 20 to 40 minutes away, but the District’s own courses provide a convenient way to play without leaving the city.
