Played golf on thurs. Mother nature was not terribly rough on the course this winter. With winter rates in effect . . . well worth it!

We really loved a lot of things about Algonkian (we had our wedding there in May). The park is gorgeous, the main room that comes with the "event center" rental is spacious (plus you get two bonus rooms), there are wonderful on-site cottages for guests to stay in, and it's close to Dulles for out of town guests. The picnic shelters also offer a very affordable rehearsal dinner venue.
But the best thing for us was working with the event coordinator (Lawan), who was just amazing. She was very detail-oriented, super calm, and really good at her job. We really relied on her a lot to keep things running smoothly and she made all the difference in the world
The cottages were great both b/c they were cheaper than hotels (if they're mostly full) and it gave us a chance to spend more time with our guests. The free waterpark and mini-golf was a bonus too.
The only downsides are that it is pricier than we would have liked (certainly not more expensive than other comparable venues, but still not cheap), and the in-house caterer was very disorganized. They were very friendly and accommodating, but couldn't keep track of things like sending us a contract, keeping track of payments we'd sent, etc. Dealing with Blue Heron (the caterer) was definitely one of the more stressful aspects of the wedding. They did mean really well and we really appreciated them putting in extra effort to make our wedding as "green" as possible, but getting the administrative details taken care of was like pulling teeth. However, in the end the event was wonderful. -

Great beginner golf course. The membership is unbeatable. I started last year with the silver member walking for something like 1200/year. Got to play 9holes of golf ever day after work and only had to pay for food; which their burgers are awesome ( think their very fatty which gives them their taste).
Range is nice and open and people tend to go walking at the very end of it. So if you can drive it 275+ you'll put a nice scare in to them.
Course if flat and most holes are open. You'll rarely lose a ball unless you're hacking it all over the course. Trees lining the course are not thick so you'll usually be able to find and make a reasonably good shot toward the green.
Bunkers kind of suck cause there is no drainage, but the management is supposidly working to find room in their budget to reconstruct them.
Oh and last but not least, the membership gives you free access to Brambleton and Pohick Bay. So three courses for $1200 M-Fri walking per year. AMAZING! -

The hiking trails are pretty neat. We did a 30+ mile hike along the potomac starting at the Algonkian Sportsplex. The green trail connects to Great Falls Park at around the 12 mile mark and the potomac will always be on your left making for some beautiful scenery. The hike is pretty nice as there are tons challenging hills to keep your heart rate up.

Service is HORRIBLE!
I have called may be 8 times to inquire about cottage rentals. The person is never at her desk and she hardly returns a phone call when a message is left.
How ever, I was "lucky" to receive a call back from her today and she is awfully rude!
Some people working with government entities just take their job for granted.
If you want to deal with this park, expect poor service. -

It's a muni, what do you expect? Course does not have much undulation, so it's easy to walk. Layout is decent, nothing outstanding. I played this course in early April 2011 and the fairways were too soft with casual/standing water in most the fairways... obviously a drainage problem. Other than that, the course was in acceptable condition. Usually play Algonkian a couple times a summer...

I was just here for a soccer tournament so this is not a complete review, but I was very impressed... this is a nice clean park on the water. The boaters looked pretty happy. I was happy to always find a shady spot to park my soccer mom SUV! The deer looked happy grazing by the side of the road, and from what I heard, the pool made some of my kid's teammates pretty happy. Yes, there's a golf course too. I thought this park looked like a really nice spot for a picnic or day outside.

My company had a meeting at the Algonkian Meeting and Events Center in the park. Great location for an offsite kind of meeting/workshop that's not too far outside Washington. The events center is in the same building as the Golf Pro Shop. The main conference room has a view of the golf course. There are two other smaller conference rooms and restrooms in the building. Food is done by the in-house caterer and it was excellent. The event center staff were great to work with. Prices were reasonable too.

The price is right, but the drive from DC is hefty. Its an interesting layout that is modestly maintained at muni level's. Its not an overly challenging layout whose main defence is length. The range is small, about 20 mats and short, I was rolling 3 woods up close to the tree line. There is a basic grill room with your typical low end stapes, ham sandwiches and hot dogs.
