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.

Solid track, good conditions, bunkers could be better.

Aeration happened a few days ago so the greens are a bit bumpy but they roll well and i'm looking forward to my next round. A few tee boxes were a bit rough & most bunkers were concrete sand, but otherwise the course was in great shape.

Lovely course

My favorite early morning weekday walk. Challenging course, with an interesting layout. Pace can get slow at times but feel like that's everywhere nowadays

Bunkers could use a little work right now. and would love to get some water jugs put out on a few holes

As someone who primarily walks it would be nice to not pay the full price that includes a cart fee but that's not an option.

Bunkers

The greens had just been punched & top dressed the day before but they were still playable enough considering. What wasn’t acceptable were the sand traps all around the course. Looked like they hadn’t been deep raked for months & were hard as cement. Some bunkers didn’t even have a rake in them.

Wonderful!

Unfortunately, the greens were aerated the day before I played…likely why the price was such a hot deal ;) Nonetheless, the course is in great shape, carts are tip top, and the beer offerings fantastic. Lovely staff as well. Highly recommend!

Expensive and lacking basic amenities

I’ve played pleasant valley a few times in the past. Was shocked to see a round now is $120 during peak times. For an average neighborhood course that is super expensive (as is the sister south riding course).

We played early afternoon is it was a hot day at over 100 degrees. We passed the drinks cart on the first hole, and then there was absolutely no water/drinks available for the rest of the round. The cart lady did not come by at all and there were no water coolers at any of the holes. This was unacceptable given the high cost of the round and not having Basic amenities available. Plus it was cart part only so there was a lot of walking on a super hot day.

Course conditions were fine- green la were in great shape but fairways seemed like they were aerated so had many areas that were disturbed.

HOT Round

Got a hot deal to play here. The weather was extremely hot. Teed off at 9:50. Played a 3 hour round which was great. It went to CPO at 1PM because of the heat.

Fairways and greens were nice. Greens a touch slow but had a great time.

Well Maintained

Course was in great shape

Some of tee boxes needed some work. Pace of play was great. Assuming due to the heat and price not crowded. Loved the layout. I’ll be sure to return

What a turnaround for this team!!

Wow! I can’t say enough about the turnaround at this golf course. I last played it two years ago and told myself I wasn’t going to come back. The prices they charged back then? I could play Algonkian, Twin Lakes, Herndon, Reston National (lol), Potomac shores, Westfields, brambleton, laurel hill, Blue Mash, for better price and value. Now? These are the best greens in Fairfax county if you don’t belong to an expensive country club. The fairways are beyond lush, and the tee boxes leave nothing more to be desired. This team has crushed it in the last 18-24 months and they deserve your visit and your money. You won’t find better golf at a better price anywhere else. I’ll be back all summer. South riding is the same story. Incredible!!
