Rating 73.9

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.

Always a great course to play

Pleasant Valley played well during that day despite a bit chilly day weekend. It had been a while since last playing the course but after a few holes, I was back to remembering the layout. Appreciated the pace of play which included how my group played ready Golf. Given the next chance on TeeOff, I will come back and play.

Fairways and Greens need better maintenance

Pleasant Valley is one of the better courses in Virginia, one of my favorites from the layout. I’m not sure what has happened to the maintenance of this course. The cart path are almost new in excellent shape but the course is in terrible conditions and the price is still high to play - unacceptable in my opinion.

Worst in the area

$94 for this course is a slap in the face. TERRIBLE conditions. Standing water, diseased greens, rough is never cut and the tee boxes look like FedEx field after a Metallica concert.

Destroyed. AVOID AVOID AVOID.

You will remember this review if you still decide to give this ‘Golf Course’ a chance.

Overpriced. Underdelivered.

The greens, tees and fairways are diseased and they’re charging $80 for a round here? Delusional. Course should probably be closed but they’re making money without a conscious. Oh, and it took 1 hour to play the first 3 holes. 5.5 hour round. Poorly run facility, at best.

Needs some TLC

From tee to green, some of the holes especially 1 and 2 are just bad. I don't see how they can charge premium prices and not make the needed improvements. Everything else including the bunkers, grass practice tees, and friendly staff were in A OK.
