Pleasant Valley Golf Club sits just south of Dulles airport, but the expansive layout, which is absent of homes, feels much more secluded. The parkland layout tumbles across a diverse landscape of rolling hills and grassy meadows covered with hardwood forests. There is plenty of diversity throughout the golf course with some holes that are bunker-less contrasting with the links holes that have Scottish-style bunkers. One of the most memorable holes is the par-5 fifth. After an uphill tee shot with a bunker on the right and a waste area on the left the second shot presents multiple choices. To the left you could take a risk with trees and a bunker but you could possibly be rewarded with a better angle for the third shot while the right side option will require a third shot over a large bunker to reach the green.

Not worth the money

The course conditions and amenities were not worth the $130 green fee. Much better courses out there for half the price.

Where's The Starter?

There is no reason why a five-some of beginners should be sent off the 10th tee at 12:45pm in front of four groups making the turn, as happened today. The 10th hole took 30 minutes, which is a NINE hour round pace. On a good day, play at this course is extremely slow, this pace in perfect weather is not OK.

Not worth the money

I know it's been a bad year for courses and nothing will change but for the amount this course is charging is not worth playing it in the conditions it is in. Should be no more than 70 bucks

Decent course. Too pricey

Most of the reviews are fairly accurate. It’s not a goat track but it’s certainly not worth anything more than 80 or $90 during the weekend. Definitely there was a lot of rough spots on the course but they were but they were plenty of good spots too

It is a decent layout, a little bit on the short side It’s worth playing if you can get a discount but anything north of $90 try to find something nicer.

Mixed bag

Beautiful and interesting course layout, though the conditions were... Interesting. Nice to have a grass driving range. Considering the aeration and conditions, might have hoped for a better price.

Goat track! Not worth the price for the condition of the course

I played this course twice in March this year and it was in good condition. I played recently and it was in terrible shape (again)! It is NOT a $130 course at all! It's a rip-off! I get that it has been unusually hot this summer, but management could have done a better job in maintaining the course for the price they are charging. I like this course, but I won't be coming back for a while and certainly won't be recommending friends to play it.

Poor Value for Price

Course has a nice layout with some cool holes, but the price is ludicrous for the present day condition. Most fairways are in poor shape. Bumpy, poorly maintained greens.

Great Greens, Poor Fairways

Greens rolled great, pace of play was fine….but for the price point on a Saturday morning tee time, not worth the price. Fairways were beat up, dead grass patches. Courses for the same price point with way better value in the area.

Terrible condition

The fairways were in horrible condition. Pretty much unplayable I quit after five holes. They refused a refund very disappointing. I will never be back. Save your money and play somewhere else.

Pleasant Valley in poor condition. No way should someone pay $132 to play this course. $18 for large bucket of range balls is also unreasonable.

Poor course conditions. Yes. It’s been hard for courses this year but here’s another one charging full rate for fairways missing grass and squishy conditions when we haven’t had that much rain. Tee boxes aren’t level and some parts of the rough look like actual cabbage.

This course is not maintained and not worth $130 a round.

I came here expecting a quality experience, especially considering they charge private course prices. Instead, the conditions were terrible. The greens were slushy and muddy with almost no grass, and the drainage was practically nonexistent. It was like playing through a swamp.

On top of that, the marshal spent more time pestering groups than actually helping with pace. He was rushing players in front of us and behind us, even though there were foursomes stacked all over the course. It’s clear they overbook tee times without leaving enough space for anyone to play at a reasonable pace.

I’ve played many public and private courses and never encountered conditions this bad or scheduling this poorly managed. This course is absolutely not worth the money

Good layout. Attractive course

The course was in much better shape the last time I played here. Obviously weather has impacted this course. Lots of dead areas on fairways. Rough was too long in spots. Greens had lots of ball marks and burned out areas. Hopefully cooler weather will help with the maintenance issues
