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.

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...

Pace of play

Play was very slow. Had to wait on every tee box. It would have helped if the pro-shop/starter had not sent out so many twosomes. I don't think I've ever seen so many twosomes. Most courses double up twosomes to form foursomes. Would have sped up play.

Really sad

This place used to be a respectable establishment, now its a dump. Weeds everywhere, bunkers look awful, lots of burnt out grass on greens, tees and fairways. What happened! Get some money to your staff and fix this dump.

Very nice course

We played from the Championship tees which were very fair at 6900 yards. A few of the tee boxes were a little torn up but overall the course was in great shape. The greens were a little slow but the rolled true.

18 holes in 2.5 hours!

Not sure it was possible on a Sunday morning, but the starter got us out early and a foursome kindly and quickly let us play through. Great layout, greens in good shape but tee boxes were in poor condition, fairways a mixed bag - unfortunately, the course really shows the fact that it gets alot of play. Will be back as it is one of the better layouts in the area and the lack of homes bordering the course makes it feel nice and remote.
