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.

Overpriced and Needs A Weed Wacker

Played on Easter and the course was not busy at all. However, the course itself is not worth the money (we paid $67 per person w/ cart via online deal). Adding insult to injury, the single they put with us claimed he got his round for $12. Tee boxes are horrible, undulating, and almost as thick as the rough. Greens and fringes were not well kept, and were so firm I never had to pull out my divot tool. Whole facility looks like it isn't well kept. Layout not much to remember, some funky fairways. Wouldn't play again unless the round was $30 or less.

Best Staff

I am a normal golfer. When I got there with reservation. Staffs remember my name. And they told me what I wanted. They respect me, I respect them also.

Thank God!

Really feel good before playing.

Nice

course was in good condition. fairways cut nice. greens rolled well. bunkers were fluffy sand. only complaint would be the tee boxes not being level. rough day with it being very windy. and disappointing it was cart path only golf and they wouldn't allow push carts for walking.

Enjoyed our round!

The course was wet so it was cart path only which was the worst part of the round. The layout is interesting with elevation​ changes and some water. The condition of the fairways and greens were quite good for late March even though the course was wet. First time players will want to bring a map of the course as there are a number of blind tee shots.

Course condition and play

Given the time of the year the course was in good condition. The course was initially wet and cart path only detracted from the pace of play and enjoyment. After the first nine holes the cart path only rule was lifted and things went better. Over all it was a good outing!

Work to be done

Bunkers are amazingly inconsistent from hole to hole. These inconsistencies range from different sand types, amount of sand and basic dressing of each bunker. They also contain large and dangerous rocks, some the size of bird eggs.

Otherwise, this course was in reasonable winter condition.

Decent course conditions for a winter round

Have played Pleasant Valley on and off since it first opened; still one of the better public courses in NoVA. Teed off just after 11 AM on a sunny but barely above freezing day. Course was in good shape considering the season and having received some precipitation in preceding days. Couldn't pass up a $10 greens fee.

Great Value

Booked this course for only $10 with a hot deal. Course was in great condition for it becoming winter. It was wet due to the rain today but that was expected. Pretty challenging course for a first time player here. Plenty of bunkers around the course. Pace of play was just under 4 hours for cart path only golf.

Fun day!

I haven't played this course in over a year so it was nice to see that it is still a good course to play. Given the dry summer, the course was in decent shape. Cart path only made it a little slow and the foursome in front of us weren't too speedy so the people behind us kept hitting in to us but, all in all, it was still a fun day!

Disappointed

First time playing here in 6-7 years and the conditions were poor. Tee boxes were in the better condition than the fairways and greens. Tee boxes had numerous divots and needed to be manicured. Fairways also needed to be cut and manicured and heavily worn. Greens are terrible, diseased, worn, more ball marks I have ever seen on any green. Our rates were $55 ea but I felt we still overpaid. I can't believe people pay over$90 to play on weekends. Penderbrook is in better condition...
