Reston National Golf Course

I understand that golf courses have to go through aeration. We were only allowed to play the front nine and then we play the front nine to get our 18 holes. The prices were the same with no discounts. The back nine was closed, but the front and I should have been closed as well. When we were playing the greens had more sand on them than the sand traps. Putting was literally impossible. In addition, several of the holes did not have flags. It is unfair to charge For those course conditions.

Enjoyed playing this course and at $36.00 through Golf Now it was a great value.

Played here for the first time. Contrary to many bad reviews, the course was actually pretty good. Good layout and generally pretty good condition. Greens were on a slower side but very playable. A 4:10 round on a Wed afternoon was not bad either. I’ll certainly be back.

The course was not in great shape. They took little effort to clear leaves from anywhere but the greens.

I was scheduled to play on Sunday at 7:40. That is the 2nd tee time out. Unfortunately there was a frost delay until 930… it happens.

Was told that they would be doing a shotgun start we would start on hole 8 and not be letting anybody off after 11 o’clock to make sure those who started would not have to run into anyone once they made the turn. This was a lie. When we got back around to the first hole, there was a group on the tea and another group on the green. I asked, the lady (who was manning the starters podium) why there were people on the tee and on the green when this was clearly not what was said to us earlier. She said, “It wasn’t her decision”. She was very nice by the way.

If they were going to let people off, I wouldn’t have cared less, but they should not have communicated some thing that was blatantly incorrect. I would have chosen not to play at all. For people who want to get to the course early and play in early round, you know what I mean.

For the first five holes on our front nine we waited on every single shot for the group that was let off in front of us to hit. Totally frustrating.

If I had booked a 9:30 tee time that I would never have been upset and I would have expected a long drawn out round, but this is just one in a line of tons of issues this course has.

The worst of all is it is literally five minutes away from my house and I would love to be able to go there, but simply won’t ever again!!! it’s just not worth it for me to get frustrated every time I go out there.

They’ve lost a customer for life. Plus, if you’re ordering on GolfNow, what they don’t tell you specifically is the $88 rate does NOT include a golf cart. If you want one of those, you have to add $15 more to the total. Definitely not worth it for $100+. I’d rather drive for 40 - 50 minutes and play a phenomenal course than to play this one again.

The course is in “ok” condition…I expected better especially with the high weekend rate which doesn’t include the cart. Several of the greens were patchy and showed signs of disease. Speed of the greens weren’t consistent throughout, some were ok, others were slow. Fairways hadn’t been mown recently and as such had varying degrees of growth showing. Bunkers definitely need work since several were treated as GUR. The chipping and putting areas were in great condition however, the driving range was limited to irons only. Overall, it was a good round that didn’t match the $101 weekend rate. Word of advice, play this course during the week.

For being in such a high dollar area, they sure haven't spent any of that money on the upkeep of the course. It was in very very poor condition. Layout is good and would be a fine course with a little investment.

Did not expect a primo conditions and staff.

One particular starter on my play time was horrible. He was rather hostile toward the players.

I was given the cart key, and he hastily asked that I give him the key back when I told him I did not yet check in with the pro-shop because I've already paid online.

He was horribly, and I think he tried to be nasty to the players intentionally, I felt. I did not take it to the extreme complain. But, this alone gives me a reason not to play there anymore. There are plenty of courses with very friendly staff including starters. When the starter thinks that he is the ultimate authority, then the course should get rid of him/her or put them to a training course that they will think twice about being a starter, whether he/she is paid or not.

The first and and the last impression come from the staff, including the starter.

I will NOT recommend this course again, nor will I play again.
