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.

Great course for the price

Played on a beautiful October Saturday and could not have been more pleased with the course. The worst part of fall golf is all the leaves on the ground, hiding balls even on good shots. The leaf presence was minimal and never a factor. The tee boxes, a compliant of previous reviews, were much improved. Greens had a few bare spots and the sand traps were a bit hard, but that's really nitpicking. If I had to find a flaw it would be the number of blind tee shots on the course. Will play again and include in my course rotation.

Pleasant Pleasant Valley

Course was in good shape. Pace of play was adequate- 4 hours. Staff was friendly. Only complaint would be the tee box conditions. They were pretty chewed up. Overall good day.

Not worth full price

Not a bad course but definitely wouldn't pay full price. I got a deal on Golf Now so I booked a round. Tee boxes were completely torn up and were unplayable on about half the holes. A handful of greens didn't roll true because of ball marks and some had bare spots. Decent course, nothing spectacular. Range was below average.

I had an 11 o'clock tee time and got there plenty early to hit balls. They rushed into a 10:45, so that was a little inconvenient. Probably won't go back unless I get another Golf Now deal.

Not worth full price

I got a hot deal and gave this course a shot. The range is pretty minimal, just 50/100/150/200 yard posts. I had an 11 o'clock tee time and was asked to play 25 minutes earlier so I didn't really get a chance to warm up and hit the balls I paid for.

Tee boxes are completely torn up and made teeing off without sliding impossible on some holes. So bad that some holes I had to go out of the designated area or use other tee boxes. Some greens had bald spots and a lot of ball marks.

A nice layout and aside from the tee boxes and a few greens nothing stood out. A good course but I wouldn't pay full price for it.

Unmemorable exurban track

For a fairly pricey "semi-private" course (whatever that means) I expected more. The layout isn't especially interesting, no holes that really stuck out for me, with some narrow fairways that penalize a drive that's even a little wayward and more than a couple holes where you can't tell where to aim your drive due to the terrain. A bunch of the tee boxes were in tough shape, chewed up and dotted with crab grass, and several greens had some total dead spots with zero grass, just dirt. For the DC-area where it gets super hot and humid in the summer they need to have more water coolers out there.

Course was in good shape other than the Tee Boxes need to be completely re-done.

fun course

I liked the course very much. Very playable. The white tees were good for my level, and the longer tees really made for a much more challenging course. The layout was good. The staff were very friendly.

Terrific Management

The course was in excellent condition but the management will also encourage us to come back for another round! I made an error when I booked the course online and Mike Zosh, the PGA Pro, could not have been more accommodating to assist us. We corrected the error and Mike went out of his way to make sure our mistake was taken care of before we started our round of golf. Yes, he accepted the amount we booked online. Thank you, Mike, for making our holiday a great one.

We will be back!

better upkeep needed

I'm a big fan of PV as the holes are varied and it's challenging. Hadn't played there in several months so was a bit disturbed that the tee boxes and green surrounds were in such bad shape. Not sure the issue but we've had a fairly good summer so heat/drought isn't to blame.

Not sure if I'll go back anytime soon as many other options in area with better overall conditioning.

Loved the Course!

Nice wide fairways, harder then expected....but still had a great time! Lots of rain 36 hours prior, fairways pretty wet, cart path only which slowed down the pace of play. Still finished in just over 4 hours and the wet grounds were totally beyond anyone's control. We would definitely play there again...though would try for a cheaper rate...$88 apiece is a little pricey for us.

Drainage issues

No rain leading up to round but several holes had significant drainage issues leading to some incredibly wet fairways. Greens were in good shape and rolled very consistently. Overall like the layout.
