And the program is very very inexpensive and fun for the kids. They even get a ID card with there picture on it which allows them free range balls for the season. The course itself is a nine hole layout with par 3s and 4s. Also next to the club house is a large building with a state of the art training center. 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.

    This golf course opened in 1948 yet is still a hidden gem in Washington, DC... I hesitate to even…read morereview it on yelp.. It's a private course mainly for the residents of the Armed Forces Retirement Home, but you can get in touch with them about becoming an associate member. In addition to the annual fee, members are expected to be able to help volunteer in other ways as well. Once you are a member, you have access to all the free rounds of golf you want every day until sundown! And you can buy buckets of golf balls as well at the driving range.. In terms of quality and being challenging, the course will not blow your mind.. The course gets dry in the summer, you can find things like holes or dead grass on a green or two, there aren't any sand traps, and it's only 9 holes with one par 5. But it's pretty special in other ways. From different holes you can see the washington moment, the national cathedral, and the basilica of the national shrine of the immaculate conception among other things. The armed forces retirement home is the second highest place in all of DC besides the national cathedral! It's a really relaxed course and it never gets that busy. I just joined and I couldn't be happier! Hopefully I haven't let out the secret with my yelp review.....

    This place is a nice place to go and unwind with friends. I've only been here once and I can't get…read moreover how amazing the experience was. The place is calm and inviting and the food is also amazing. I honestly can't wait to come back here with my whole squad.

I hadn't ever been before and I really enjoyed my visit. You get a private room to yourself which is very nice. You can bring up to 4 people total for the $28. You can bring two extra people for $15 extra. I haven't scheduled the lesson yet but I'll report back about that.

    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!

    I do mini golf often but this was my first time at Puttery. It was a great time. Normally, I go to…read moreSwingers in Dupont Circle but Puttery was a good change of pace. I really enjoyed them offering unlimited playing time. The service was great as well. We made a reservation but also wanted to dine in for food. The hostess suggested that we eat first and then play since the kitchen was going to close soon. The hostess quickly took us to our seat where we were immediately greeted by our waitress. She was very kind and attentive. She gave some drink and food suggestions as well. For food we ordered 18 wings (buffalo, bourbon, and garlic parm). The wings were delicious. Very flavorful. For drinks I ordered a punch with rum and my friend ordered a blue moon. The ambiance was great. I really enjoyed the different themes of the courses. Also, I like that we did not feel rushed going to each hole. Sometimes if it is crowded or the holes are not spaced out too well it can cause a bottleneck of playing time between groups. At Puttery it seemed like they spaced out the holes appropriately. It was a great experience. It is a great place for a cute date night or just meeting up with friends. I recommend checking them out. Cheers!

    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.

    So first off, the thing to keep in mind about this course is that it is $25 for 18 holes, in DC…read more($40 with a cart). That is a great value. The staff is also very friendly, as well as the fellow golfers I met on the course all seemed to be respectful of the game and the course itself. Yes the course can use some additional maintenance all around (the cart paths are all broken, the greens need to be mowed, it's really easy to lose your ball, even when you think you hit the fairway), but I found it to be overall enjoyable and challenging to play (the back nine is especially narrow and hilly), and would certainly return.

    I just returned from my first and last time on this golf course. Bottom line is that D.C. does not…read moreproperly fund this course. The club house is a a run down old building. 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.
