Even though a majority of the course is wooded, every hole has a "fair" fairway...sometimes more demanding and sometimes more forgiving, but there is always a legitimate path to aim for.

The holes flow nicely from one to the next, and where "next tee" signs are present makes this even easier.

I loved being able to play both the short and the long pins...felt like two different courses at times.

New tee pads (with awesome benches made from logs) are great...and worked exceptionally well even after some of our recent heavy rains.

With the addition of new holes, the course has even more variety (length of holes, forehand vs. backhand, elevation, and even one pin on top of a fallen tree). That variety makes the course much more entertaining to play.

Lot's of paths have been groomed with wood chips, boardwalks, or gravel; so, even after a rain the walking paths are friendly and easy to follow.

Lots of new signs greatly improve the play and flow of the course. However, some holes have more than one pin placement (particularly for the short basket) and there is no way to know which one to play to from the tee box. Hopefully an indicator will be added soon.

I feel like I need to revise my review 2-3 times a year because that's how fast the club is making significant improvements. If you haven't been here in a while, you MUST try the course again to check out how good it has become.

Be aware that after hole 12 you MUST follow the "Next Tee" signs...as the walking path crosses over itself and you can accidentally skip some of the new holes. The signs make this obvious, but you do want to follow them.

The DGC at Ft. Washington State Park is a super clean, enjoyable little nine hole play. At the beginning is a kiosk with scorecards and other information. The tee pads are brick with a nice clean border. There is even a shoe cleaner at the first pad. The pads each have a house number. The signs are laminated, colored ones. They look great but obliviously won't stand up to any teen vandals. The baskets are Chainstars complete with next tee arrows. Each sign list two distances for the different basket placements but there isn't anyway for you to know which placement-Long or Short, the basket is currently in. There are also quite a few next tee signs here making navigation easy.

The course plays at a comfortable recreational level. With the baskets set at the Longs, holes can be up to 85' longer, with the longest playing out to 460'.

# 7 is my choice as signature hole here. It's 320' and slightly downhill. The basket is visible down yonder sitting in a pretty little, grassy area. The toughest part here is hitting 30' gap about 200' ahead with deep rough on both sides, with maybe worse on your left. I also liked the next hole, # 8. It plays 165-215', depending on where the basket is set and like # 7, is a very pretty little hole.

Another plus here is I don't think there is the state park fee to get into this park. I didn't see any kind of a ticket booth.

Laminated tee signs won't withstand the forces of the dreaded teenagers.

No system of knowing which position the basket is in today.

No terribly challenging for better players.

Muddy/boggy in places.

This is a very nice, 9 hole course. It's currently a bit overrated at 3.60. It's extremely clean, does have a nice design and flow and does have some pretty holes. But in the end, it is only 9 holes and lacks that epic hole or scary water carry. It's also just a touch above a recreational course which is great for a below average rec player such as myself. But I believe, younger better players will want more challenge than this.
