Frequently Asked Questions
Which course should I play at Lansdowne - the Norman or the Jones?
This is the big question, and honestly, you should try both if you have time. The Norman Course is a true championship test, demanding precision with its tight fairways and strategic bunkering. If you're looking for a more traditional, classic layout with some fantastic river views, the Jones Course is your play - it's a bit more forgiving but still offers plenty of challenge.
What's the best time of year to visit Lansdowne for golf?
We highly recommend visiting in the spring (April-May) or fall (September-October). The weather is usually perfect for golf, and the courses are in prime condition without the intense summer heat and humidity. Plus, the fall foliage in Northern Virginia is absolutely stunning, adding to the scenic beauty of your round.
Is Lansdowne suitable for a golf trip with non-golfers or families?
Absolutely, Lansdowne is fantastic for mixed groups. The resort itself offers plenty of amenities like a spa, pools, and dining, so non-golfers will stay entertained. You're also right in the heart of Loudoun County's wine country, which is perfect for vineyard tours, and it's an easy drive to explore historic Leesburg or even Washington D.C. for a day.
What's the typical cost to play at The Golf Club at Lansdowne?
Expect green fees to be on the higher side, reflecting the quality of the courses and the resort experience. Weekday rates are generally more affordable than weekends, and you'll often find better deals if you're staying at the Lansdowne Resort. It's a premium experience, so budget accordingly, but we think it's worth it for the caliber of golf.
What makes the golf experience at Lansdowne unique compared to other D.C. area courses?
What truly sets Lansdowne apart is having two distinct, championship-level courses designed by legends, all within a top-tier resort setting. You get variety and consistent quality, plus the Potomac River views on the Jones Course are genuinely memorable. It feels like a true golf getaway, even though you're so close to the city.
