Rating 73.9

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.

Much Improved Course Conditions

Tee boxes and green complexes are much improved over years past. I had stopped playing here due to those factors, but I'm happy to be back under better circumstances. Only drawback is that they charge same price whether you walk or ride, but that should not be the case. If I'm not using your equipment, then you should discount my round for whatever price is charged for a cart fee.

Nice round with some of the best course conditions I've seen here

Played with two buddies yesterday. While the tee sheet was full, we still finished in just over four and a half hours. Greens recovered nicely from aeration and ran true. Tee boxes and fairways in great shape. Also, I think the cart path renovation was completed about a year ago and it really improves the experience. Weather defied forecasts and actually improved over the course of the afternoon.

Great conditions but BIG PRICE FLAW

The course was in fantastic condition, and good walkable layout. However, I booked my tee time for a military walking rate, told the gentleman in the pro shop that I was military and had my ID out … but they did NOT honor the military rate. He just said it’s all the same rate and CHARGED ME FULL PRICE even though I was also walking. That was a huge let down for my first time at the course and being charged an extra $25. I’m hoping to get a refund or even gift cert for my next round there. Again, the course is fun, in great condition, and easy location … but to be refused the rate we agreed on when I booked it was really a disappointment.

Didn't let us know they were aerating the green, charged full price.

The course was fine, the price would have been fine if the greens weren't in the middle of being aerated. It's pretty dishonest that the course didn't let us know while booking that aeration was happening, because I definitely would not have paid $95 for that.

Rude

I booked online 9 holes. Played 9 holes too and pay for 18 holes. Don’t make any sense. They said online is crazy. We won’t allow people who want to play only 9 holes. It’s so rude the way they talk. Golf is a very professional game. The staff should be professional. You can’t make your own rules for everything. I don’t know if you guys read this reviews and take necessary steps. But I was very disappointed and I will tell my friends as well.

It’s a whole new PVGC!

I joined this club three months before they opened in 1998 and the new superintendent has done an absolutely phenomenal job with turning the course around.

The layout has always been great because they lease the land from Fairfax County Park Authority so there are no houses and it is not too healthy or too flat. It is the easiest course to walk in the area.

It really went downhill about three years ago, but as I mentioned with the new superintendent, I would argue their greens are the best in the entire area!

Course was in good condition except for a few files where “red” the box for my daughter was missing the markers. Like the course as usual, but seemed like the group behind were playing in a hurry pace.
