Rock Creek Park Golf Course, Public golf course in Rock Creek Park, Washington, D.C.
Rock Creek Park Golf Course is a public nine-hole facility set within natural woodland that features elevation changes and tree-lined fairways throughout the layout. The course uses the park's natural terrain as part of the playing experience.
The facility was established in 1909 from a local community effort in the Brightwood neighborhood to create public golf access. It opened with its original nine-hole configuration.
The facility stands as one of three public golf courses in Washington D.C., managed by National Links Trust to ensure community access to recreational sports.
The facility is located along 16th Street NW and offers golf instruction, practice areas, and equipment services for players of all levels. Group event registration is also available for organized play.
The back nine holes feature narrow fairways bordered by large trees that create natural playing obstacles not found on the front side. These wooded sections demand more precision and strategy from golfers.
