H Street Country Club is a 9-hole miniature golf course located on the second floor of a Mexican restaurant/bar/billiard club. The course is appropriately themed with obstacles that highlight DC sites, such as the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, and a special appearance by Marion Barry. A jukebox is located just off the course.

The cups are a little narrow, and some the holes can be frustrating. The first hole has a ramp, and once the ball goes up and into it there are three holes that it can come out of. One of the holes the ball could come out of is out of bounds. This is not the best design, and it’s certainly a rough way to start a game. The fourth hole is also frustrating because the cup isn’t in place, and it was necessary for the players to fish their balls out of the hole. The sixth hole is a new take on a loop-d-loop, however it is poorly executed. It’s almost impossible to putt the ball in such a way to clear the ramp. The creepiest hole of all is hole five. There are zombie versions of some of our more famous presidents. Throughout the entire course the carpets are really thick. The ball must be hit rather hard, which can be dangerous if a player is too enthusiastic.

A favorite aspect of the course was the waitress who served drinks while we played. Despite the frustration on some the holes, overall this course is very enjoyable. The atmosphere is very relaxed, and no one complained that we took our time playing, acted a little silly, and took a lot of photos. We also encourage you to stay for a meal at the Mexican restaurant. The food is quite good and so are the margaritas. This is a venue more geared for an adult crowd. H Street Country Club may be a little outside the more touristy area of the city, but it is well worth the trip!
