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.

PV First time

Nice course. Cart path only made the round gruelingly long. The back nine has a way better layout than the front nine but overall solid. Try to get at a discount because it isn’t worth paying $130 for.

Not a great value.

One of the few courses I play where they charge for a small bucket while already charging $130 on a weekend. $10 for a little bucket. I have golfed here a number of times over the years but the staff always seems bothered to have to help you. Starters don't proactively get groups in front of you ready so you go off late. The course could be a gem but they don't take care of it the way they should.

Still challenging, but not intimidate

This is a sister course to South Riding Golfers Club, a links-agile course I’ve played regularly for 20 years, but it could not be more different. Pleasantly hilly — no pun intended.— with a variety of long and short holes without waste areas just the right amount of water. Conditions when I played yesterday were head shoulders above those of most other semi-public courses in Northern Virginia. It is also vastly underutilized and almost always available on short notice.

Nice public course

It’s a little pricey for a public course but I wouldn’t let it stop me or you from playing there again.

Lack of yardage markers at each tee and on each hole make it difficult for the no -member. There was not one place to get water other than the turn.

Greens and fairways were in good shape but bunkers were terrible.

Great track at a very good price

The greens had just been aerated so that’s the reason for that review. Overall I loved the layout. No houses. You’re out in the country. Good choice of tees from fairly easy to pretty difficult!

The staff were super friendly and there was hardly anyone around so we played in 3 hours even with cart path only!

I’d love to go back when the greens have recovered

Would play again

Greens in great condition, pretty fast. Fairways is good condition, not perfect. Tee boxes in decent condition, could be better. A tad expensive, but worth paying for it every once in a while. Friendly staff, good turkey club sandwich.

Coming together

Played 3 weeks ago so I came back to have another go at it. I last gave it 4 stars but this time I'm giving it 5. Pleasant Valley is a fun track, pace of play is perfect, staff members all great. Will definitely be back. If you havent played here you should. Hard course to break 90, requires good course management skills.
