Made the trip down to DC on August 20, 2011 and played East Potomac Park Mini golf.   The course landscaping is a tad overgrown and unkempt.   I think it was $7.50 for an adult.

The course design is honestly awesome.   Every hole is encased in a cement frame so any rollbacks off the tea won't go out of bounds.    The design of the course was awesome with several interesting hole designs (not all but most).   Several multi-tier holes, ramps, etc..    I would rank this as one of the better courses out there IF the conditions were better.   As with the other reviews I have read the course runs INSANELY fast and uneven.   I don't mind speedy courses but when there are hidden breaks under the carpet it ruins what could have been an awesome course.   This is not a course you can slow putt a short shot as the course seriously can turn a tapped putt into 8' passed the hole.    So you have to just putt hard and RIGHT at the hole or else...  

Really sad that what could have been one of the better designed courses turned out to be a frustrating experience that I would avoid in the future unless they not only replaced the greens but smooothed the cement underneath it.
