Hains point is usually in terrible shape due to the periodic floods that wash over the course when the potomac river surges. But i love the place because you get some great views of washington, i.e. where else can you see the washington monument from 9th tee?
The range should be fine, and being a public course, it is dirt cheap.

where in DC are you looking for? White Flint in Rockville has a nice one and I like going out to Germantown (quiet...peaceful...deer to aim at around dusk)

White Flint is open from 8a-11p (except Monday, when they open at 11a) and is right next to the White Flint metro stop on the red line. I don't remember the bucket price, as I have one of their multi-bucket discount cards, but it was fair.
They've got a great staff, always happy and helpful. The teaching staff is good, too. And they've always got new demos to try.
