Reston National Golf Course

All through 2023 and acceleratingly in 2024, the turf conditions have gotten worse, the turf maintenance worse (fairway, tees, and greens), and the clubhouse is falling in disrepair. It’s a shame considering the course layout and location are great. I’ll keep an eye out, but can’t say anything positive about the course to fellow golfers until significant investments are made. I’ll continue playing Herndon, as it keeps getting better and better (their greens are phenomenal in 2023).

Played on Seniors tee so wishing all holes have a separate senior and ladies tee or the seniors tee open on all holes. Otherwise course was looking good as usual.

The weather was great and playing golf a welcomed activity on an overall nice conditioned course.

Hello there - the course was closed today. They told me to contact you to receive my refund.

If you call the course they will confirm the closure on 1/26/24.

Thanks

The course is in great condition for the time of the year. Staff is great and I enjoy the opportunity to play here. I’m a below average player 110 + -, but I always get the chance to play with nice people. The Carts are nice as well.

The weather was a tad cold but playable. Pace was ok but the most annoying at time of play was the fact that fall leaves were too much concentrated on sides of fairways that balls easily gets lost, unless you hit middle fairway. Could have used a bit of course clean up by blowing leaves outward some more.

It looked like they had recently aerated and I do recall a hard rain a few days ago. Even with that under considerations, overall condition is sub-par at best. Do avoid the sand traps. Poor drainage + lack of maintenance.

They had a delay start for frost, but was never notified. Even if they shotgun start, there was a slow pace of play.

Booked a hot deal this past Sunday at 11:40, first time playing Reston in 5+ years. Chose to play the black tees - 6500 yards and walk to get the extra challenge. Managed to play a pretty decent round (88) even through 20 mph winds and a lot of leaf trouble. In the end #17 is like a 425 yard straight shot uphill, body was done after that one. It's a slopey course that really tests a lot of your clubs in the bag. Played with 2 others, 3.5 hour round. For $45 on the weekend, give me all the smoke, I'll enjoy my time on this course no matter what.

I was playing as a solo (10:50) start time. I was able to play the first 2 holes without interruption and then caught up with the group ahead on the 3rd.

The pace from there was just glacial. On 9 tee there was myself, the group in front also on the tee, the twosome in front of them on the fairway and the 4?ladies in front of them approaching the green.

I had decided to quit at this point and was skipping 9 when I saw what was going on with the group near the green. I decided to have a look at 10 tee and I was not surprised to see the entire hole was clear. I changed my mind and teed off on 10. I did not have to wait for another shot until my second shot on 17. This is an opportunity to improve, you desperately need a Marshall to take a drive every now and then. The four ladies either needed to speed up or let people play through.

Holes 3-8 took me 2 hours

Holes 10-18 took me 65 minutes.

Always like playing this golf course, because of the layout and the condition of the greens. The pace of play at the time our group played was a bit on the slow side but the Marshall did come out to remind the group in front of us when we were on the 12 th hole, which I thought improve out a bit on the latter part of the play. As with fall and wind blowing, leaves and debris were around the greens at times. But overall still good day to play golf at Reston.
