1757 Golf Club Scorecard, as of the date of last review
1757 Golf Club Course Overview: Located close to the Washington-Dulles Airport, this golf course is relatively short and puts a big premium on accuracy, as water or forest come into play on pretty much every hole. When the wind blows, the course is especially tough. The best golf holes are reviewed below:
1757 Golf Club Hole 2: This relatively short par four has a tee shot over water and there is heavy rough and a small creek to the left. The green has a few false edges and a couple of large bunkers to avoid.

1757 Golf Club Hole 4: This is the short par four on the front nine but there is a lot of water right on both shots. The green is very wide, but not deep, so distance control is key; and it is well guarded to the left and right.
1757 Golf Club Hole 5 (right): This is a very difficult dogleg right par four where a drive should challenge the corner of the dogleg and the water to leave a manageable approach. A drive that is too short or far left will leave a very long and tough approach shot (maybe even from bunkers) with the water to the right and a slope (and OB) left.
1757 Golf Club Hole 7 (below): This par three has a pretty, elevated tee shot with tall trees and hazard to the left and a water hazard to the right. The bunkers short and long are no bargain either, or is the large slope surrounding this crowned putting surface, so a very good tee shot must be hit.

The bunkers short and long are no bargain either, or is the large slope surrounding this crowned putting surface, so a very good tee shot must be hit.
1757 Golf Club Hole 8: Another fairly short par four, this one is straight and hitting the fairway is key. The green is shallow and set behind a wall, but what is tougher to see is short of that wall is a river, so the player can't really come up short and long leaves a nasty chip, so controlling distance from the fairway is important.
1757 Golf Club Hole 13: This long par four is fairly straight but has trouble right off the tee in the form of a bunker and trees. The green is protected by water short and right and some long grass to the left.
1757 Golf Club Hole 15: This is a long par five with a tee shot that needs to find its way between the lake left and trees to the right. From there, the hole is fairly simple with a fairly accessible green complex.
1757 Golf Club Hole 16 (left): This is a medium length and tough par three. The green is elevated and any miss will bound down a slope towards trouble in the form of bunkers, thick rough or hazard (long). The green is also wide, but not deep, so distance control is needed yet again.
1757 Golf Club Hole 17 (below): The prettiest tee box at 1757 is separated from the fairway by marsh but it really isn't in play except for a terrible shot. However, the lake to the right of the green is definitely in play and there is a very steep slope just off the putting surface, so anything right is dead. Of course, there are deep bunkers left of the green too.

1757 Golf Club Hole 18: The day ends with a short par three over water and with bunkers long. The green is not deep but is very wide so there can be some long putts, but distance control, again, is very important.
