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.

Slow play and bad tees/greens

Nice layout and use of land. Greens were very rough, tee boxes were terrible.

Don’t waste a cent

I hadn’t been back in five years and what a disappointment. The course is in shocking condition. Tee boxes barely have turf, The course is full of weeds. Greens are full of bare patches, also with clumps of crabgrass. I recognize Covid 19 has been tough on maintenance, but it apparent this course was not being maintained. prior. A pity as PV is well laid out and has the potential to be a decent course again. Until then, best to look elsewhere.

Terrible tees and greens

Staff was friendly. Every tee box was dirt...no grass as all. Fairways and bunkers were fine given the recent heat wave. The greens were some of the worst I’ve ever played on. There were more weeds than grass and so many unrepaired ball marks that putting was like playing Plinko. I will try it again sometime but overall not a great experience and not worth the $45 hot deal. I liken it to a cheap $15 municipal and wouldn’t pay more than $20 to play it.

Nice layout, terrible conditions

It's a shame how they've let this course go. It's a very nice layout, but the conditions were bad, even for a public course.

As other recent reviews have mentioned, the tee boxes are devoid of grass. I figured, what the heck, as long as the fairways and greens are good, I'll be fine. Wrong. The fairways were riddled with crabgrass. As were the greens. Putting was a crapshoot.

I thought it might be just the combo of the pandemic and a really tough two months of weather, but the neglect goes back further than that, I think. The cartpaths, for example, were full of large holes. I could go on, but you get the idea.

I won't be coming back.

Sand tee boxes. Literally no grass

I’ve never left a golf course... until today. My foursome decided to leave after 4 holes. Never have I seen tee boxes so poorly maintained. There was no grass, like hitting a bunker shot for your tee shots. I won’t go back and I won’t recommend that anyone plays here.

Nice but...

Course was nice with the exception of the tee boxes. Most of them were literally dirt only. We played from anywhere we could find grass which was never between the actual tee markers.

Thank you for playing! We are in the process of working on our tee boxes as some certainly do need help. We are seeding them this week and they should bounce back quickly with some help from mother nature.

Some tee boxes were in poor shape but the course was otherwise good. I felt it was good value considering my round came with a cart.

Needs some work

The blue tee boxes were horrible. Several holes were just dirt. It was cart path only all day which added to the frustration. Fairways and greens were okay.

Enjoyable Round

Good variation of holes, acceptable conditions for the price esp since its mid-summer, overall good value. Have played a handful of times this year

Little Rough

The greens and fairways were in decent shape. The tee boxes were horrible with little to no grass. I thought the pass of play was okay but towards the back 9 slowed to a craw. This was my first time playing this course and while the layout was okay and offered some challenges I think the value just wasn’t there.
