Always an enjoyable round
Due to recent rain, the course was cart path only so I decided to walk. For this course, that is the better call. There greens were just aerated so they were bumpy but there was an aeration alert when I booked it so no surprise there. The fairways still had a decent amount of water but not bad. My partners were complaining about the group in front of us so we eventually passed them on a par 3 on the back 9. We still finished in 4 hours so not too shabby. Overall, I like this course and will play here many more times this summer.
Great course!
I love this course. Great day to play! Wide open for hte most part, nice layout. Good condition aside from aeration on greens. Usually expensive but caught a good golfnow deal.
Forgot to mention the aeration! Could be so much better
Not sure if this was GolfNow or the course but there was no mention of the greens before my aerated. The least the course could have done was give a coupon or something. I would bring my own snacks too. Had to wait for the simplest items. The staff at the grill where super nice so we stayed after the round for the Brambleton Burger which unfortunately was the highlight of the day.
Great course!
First time playing and it was great. Open course and easy to play for long hitters.
Good conditions
Round was a bit windy, but beautiful weather for this late in October. That being said, it was surprisingly busy, but nothing outside what you would expect. Fairways were in pretty good shape, and greens were good as well! Always a good time to come out to Brambleton, and look forward to coming back.
good course
Played here for the first time. The greens had been recently aerated so they were bumpy and slow. This would be an easy course to walk as it is very flat and open. The indoor staff was very friendly but the starter seemed to have no personality at all. For northern Virginia, a $32 round of golf is a good value so it remains a busy course. I probably won't play again since I have lots of courses that are closer to my home but it is a solid test of your golf game.
soggy but fun course
Played in afternoon. Greens were very soft but still rolled nice. Ball marks were an issue but not so bad that they impacted putts.
Course is a bit tight in spots but greens are open in front so you can run shots on.
Pace was uneven but finished in 4 hrs; hit a bit of a pileup around 7th hole but after 10 it started flowing again.
Solid muni course that I'll play again soon.
Great Value
Friday afternoon with a great GolfNow rate ($31) made this an unbeatable way to start the weekend. Starter paired two signals with a pair to makeup a fun foursome. Pace was a little slow until about the third hole and then no more waiting for the rest of the round. Course was in great condition, with the greens rolling medium pace and smooth/true. Finish the round in just about four hours. Never did see the beverage cart/girl, good thing we were BYOB ready.
Great layout, terrible staff
So I am a local. I play brambleton maybe once a month. Today was my second time in 2 weeks playing the course. I love the layout and over all conditions of the track. Now the staff? That's another story. The week before the starter allowed a group of 3 walkers to tee off at our time when he knew we had already checked in 30 minutes prior. We were even sitting behind the three some when they decided to hit two tee shots twice. The rest of the course was wide open so we had asked the starter if we could start on 10 and he said no.
Today I decided to play again and we come to the 10th tee and are told the course I backed up. Which is not the case. We are rushed to tee off and then they have a two some start right behind us. Later we find out the two some is part of the league they have going on and were only rushing us so they could start there precious league. I'll tell you one thing, you don't rush paying customers when the course isn't even backed up. Not to mention I have a 7 handicap and play from the tips everywhere I go. I think my group would be the last group to ever back a course up. This place is simply poorly run. Looks more like a retirement home than a golf course.
Good value
Booked as a single and was able to play by myself. Caught up to some groups around the 6th hole and then it was a slow round from then on. Tee boxes, fairways, and greens all in good condition. Bunkers had some water in them but that was expected from the recent rainfall. Overall all great course conditions and definitely recommend.
Bunkers & Wild Life
Bunkers are in need of work after some heavy rain moved across the area the last few weeks. Also there are several water holes where geese have moved in and they just make a mess of fairways and greens. Now pleasant to play through goose droppings!!!
The course needs of have them removed!
Great course
This is a nice course. Staff is friendly. It is often very busy and pace of play can sometimes be rushed if you aren't really good, but overall one of my favorites!
Perfect for my ability level
I'm between beginner and intermediate and this course was great for me. Played from the Gold tees. Fairways were pretty wide with a couple of exceptions. Mature trees in just the right spots. Water on only 2 or 3 holes including a spectacular par 3. Greens and teeboxes were in great shape. Not sure if this is common but they slotted us with people we didn't know, but it turned out fine. Really great value in what is otherwise a very expensive area. Had lots of fun and will definitely come back.
Fairway Grass
Fairway grass is to long on some of the fairways and many of the bunkers had water in them. Pace of play was good on front 9 unfortunately on back 9 pace slowed down because of additional players playing just the back 9 holes.
Rude and untrained staff
The starters don't know how to pair groupings or use common sense and will send 3 singles off, put a single behind a foursome, send slow people off the back as people are making the turn. All of these issues create major gaps on the course and the rangers are too afraid to tell anyone to pick up the pace or drop 100 yards from the green. The problem is the volunteers that are there for free golf and in turn treat paying customers very poorly. I have several friends that play regularly, but refuse to play here based on the items above.
Good Course for the Money
Pretty good course. First time playing. Seemed like a lot of confusion from the time I walked in, till the time I left, between staff, tee sheets, and the course marshals. I chalk some of that up to the tee sheets electronic system being messed up. What I'm not chalking any of that up to is the poor condition of the rough outside the fairway. It was about 7-10 inches high. Now, I played plenty of golf, know plenty of greens keepers and people who worked on a course, and know the difference between playing a course that is meant to have thick rough, and playing a course where the maintenance people just didn't feel like cutting the grass. Maybe that's not exactly the case, but it sure felt like it with this course. Greens where in good shape which was nice. Outside the fairway, good luck finding your ball let alone hitting it.
My pace of play was 5.5 hrs for 18, waited on every hole. I will chalk that up the system being down, and I'm sure that's not easy to deal with, plus almost everyone walks the course...but man it was a terribly long day.
I would play this course again, and hopefully the rough grass will have been cut to more of what it should be, and not just overlooked. And, the condition of the greens is worth the price.
Thanks for playing Brambleton. Hope to see you again.
