Pleasant Valley Golf Club
About
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.

Dammer
Course was in excellent condition given the extreme weather experienced in Northern Virginia this winter. Pleasant Valley is always well maintained and is an interesting 4-star format. Very nice environment, in a park-like setting (no houses).
nice course
The course was packed due to the break in the weather but they did a great job of keeping play going
Wet weather made it cart path only and a very sloppy round.
It rained the day before and there were puddles everywhere. Pace of play was very slow because of plugged balls and the 20 to 40 mph winds. It was cart path only because it was so wet. Nice course, good layout, and many challenging holes made the round difficult. The greens were true and quick for the weather conditions. The wind was a problem all day. When I finished I was glad it was over but I want to go back in the summer, on a nice day, with no wind to try this again. I may not be able to play it in the 70's but I want a chance to play my handicap of 14.
course in bad shape
play here often enough to know that this is the worst i have seen it condition wise. lots of torn up turf, uneven greens. the traps were pretty good shape though. i'll wait for the spring to head out again here.
Fun and Fair course to play
The condition of course was good for this time of the year. They had removed all leaves, so there was no problem finding balls due to stray shots. Greens were fast, but fair. Bunkers were well maintained. Rough was cut appropriately, so it wasn't difficult finding balls in the rough.
Layout interesting - feel comfortable to swing-away on many holes.
Fortunately received 20% off weekend rate otherwise value would have been poor. For a private course, with a hefty fee, the tees were beat-up, the cart paths in several locations were worn around edges - like a heavily used muni that needs some attention. The greens were OK - many marks and amazingly unfixed ball marks, you'd think folks who play there would take more pride and follow typical etiquette. The greens did roll true and were smooth, mostly. Several fairways and surrounding rough had strange torn-up turf - could not tell if it was machinery or extensive mole-like damage. The pace of play was excellent with our two-some finishing in less than 4 hours - even with a three-some cutting in on 10. I would go back - because the layout is somewhat challenging but I now know it's not a premium course.
Great value for the money!
Played the course 4 years ago and it was terrible and didn't go back until this week. What a pleasant surprise... very good condition from tee to green, bunkers had sand (something most public courses around here don't have this time of year), and the greens were in very good shape, rolled true with very good speed. We played after an outing so it was disappointing to see all of the unrepaired ball marks but that is on the players not the course. Definitely back in our rotation.
nice course over all with good price in this area
It's far better than other courses in this area at this price. Good fairway and friendly staffs all the way from club house to the 18th hole are pleasant like the name of Pleasant Valley Golf course.
Great staff, fun local course
Had a great time playing. Pace was definitely "foursome" pace, but steady. Greens were nice and quick, which is appreciated. Carts had great technology with GPS and ability to order food from the touch screen on 9 tee. Burger was fabulous.
Great condition for a public course
There are many courses in the area that charge similar fees but dont stack up in quality. Pleasant Valley has well maintained fairways, and greens that roll pretty true. A great value for a public course in the $75-$90 range.
staff was inadequate
no starter. as a single i was placed with another group which is great. however that group was told to begin 10mins prior and thus i was forced to try and catch them on front nine. when i did they split again and i was forced to play alone which slowed pace of play. when i asked for some sort of raincheck the staff was beligerant and non-amicable due to my fees being tied to golfnow vs direct pay to proshop. i asked for something--bucket of balls, etc. and they still would not oblige. will not play again.
Good course
One of the better courses in the area. Some interesting, but challenging, holes out there (no gimme par 3's here#. The course was a little waterlogged #not surprising considering the recent major rain#, traps were beat up #again, somewhat understandable, it was better on my past visit#. Pace of play was solid. Can get some good greens fees on GolfNow #in the $40-60), and at that rate it's definitely worth it.
Decent course
Nice to not see homes on the course. Must be highly played, several greens and tee boxes need attention.
Nice course- would go again
I really liked this course. Fairways were in great shape and the fact that the carts are all equipped with GPS is helpful if you don't have a phone app. My only criticism of this course was that the tee boxes need some attention (flattening out and pruning) but other than that I really liked it. Very comparable to other courses in the area such as Old Hickory.
surprised!
strange that the course wasn't packed. nobody behind us, nobody in front of us. played in 3hr 45min!
pv was in good shape even if the fairways were a little long and spongy. greens were running pretty quick.
overall, a good day on the course and if we could get around in less than 4 hrs, i'd play here every week!
Pleasant Valley
The course staff was very friendly, and the experience was overall very good. The course was in pretty good shape for it being the first week in August. The greens rolled true, and putts held their lines.
I did not like the number of blind shots, though that is a personal preference.
Overall, it's a pretty good test of golf.
Challenging from teh blue tees
Unfortunately our 4th golfer got sick at the last minute and could not play. We asked for a voucher at the front next however they said that since we booked through Golf Now they could not accommodate our request. Our savings was diminished because we paid for 4 and only played with 3. :(
this course was knid and nice to people
good condition and nice course. it was rained and kept on playing. so happy to us
Good pace of play, but relaxing.
Greens were challenging but true and consistent. Fairways were well maintained.
Great all around course
Clean and well maintained - great running fairways, slow greens which is goodt for aggressive players but bad for timid putters - all of the staff was very friendly. Tee times well spaced. I'll certainly go back.
