Stunning views and challenging course

Really well thought out course. Has uphills and downhills if you get off the fairway even a bit. Scenic course. Not congested. The greens are not simple. Course is extremely well maintained.

Good course

Reston is a good course and it's a pretty challenging. It's a bit over priced at $104 but they can do it because they have a lot of people that love the course and the convenience of location.

Cart Paths and Golf Carts Need Attention

The cart paths really need repaving. I had my own cart but would have have to drive much more slowing with a passenger. Large cracks through made for a very bumpy ride. My golf needed repair. The roof kept slamming into the meddle bars holding it in place. Rather annoying, even for a gas cart.

Won’t be back

I won’t be back but it’s not like the place is awful. I guess the first thing that irked me was not being able to warm up my driver on the range. I just paid over a hundred bucks and I can’t make sure I’m going to get off the first tee good? Come on. I mentioned it to an older woman in the group behind us and she said “well, you could always play somewhere else”. Two things: 1. Had it been in the website that the driving range was irons only, I wouldn’t have been there to begin with, and 2. I completely agree with her. Now that I know what I’m likely to encounter here, I can play elsewhere, and I recommend that you do the same.

solid course….false price advertised

Not much can be said about the course other than it is pretty average.

I’m mainly writing this review as a warning to other golfers. I booked for 2 golfers at the $79 price advertised in the app, so $158 for 2 players, but when I arrived at the course I was forced to pay $95 per round or $190 for the 2 rounds which is obviously above the prices advertised. Either Golf Now needs to correct the pricing, or someone needs to force Reston to accept payment on the app pre-round so this isn’t possible. I will not be back to play here or use the range.

Also, the range is irons only….

Really overpriced

This is a $30-40 value course, the course is decent but not worth the $80 they charge to play it.

Greens were in great shape but it had rained when we played them so they were slow, no water was kept in the water coolers, carts are old and outdated for such a “premier” course.

Course in good/decent shape but not worth $80 on a weekday afternoon

Tee boxes, fairways and greens were in decent shape, with some patchiness here and there. This is on par with any of the nearby muni courses for this time of year, Twin Lakes, Algonkian, Falls Road etc.. My main gripe is the price I paid for a weekday PM round. There is no way Reston National is worth $85 (with cart) for a Thu PM round.

Sand Traps have no sand…

Course plays well. Fairways green and we’ll maintained. Greens are very slow. No sand in bunkers just dirt (very disappointing). Starter tried to rush our start. Pace of play was slow.

Good not great

Probably not worth the price, many of the bunkers were unplayable. Great layout and well manicured otherwise

Rough needs to be cut…

Rough is very high and certainly slows up play by those looking for balls. Also could use better signage for distance.. There is no Wifi on the course so my golf application did not work..

Not bad but room for improvement

First time playing here today - liked the layout a lot and thought the course was in good shape except many of the bunkers on the course were really poor - at least 1 was ground-under-repair and many others had little sand in them - sad to see this neglect when paying $90 for the round. Outside of this and the greens being a little slower than ideal, I thought the course was in good shape. Tees and fairways were very good.

The only other complaint is the lack of sprinklers and/or yardage markers in the course - very tough to get yardages from fairways, esp on back 9.

I'd play here again if the bunkers were better - just bring your GPS device.

There are better courses in the area for better price

No water out on a 90 degree day, if you like when a foursome doesn’t let you pass them because they tee off and drive away quickly as your pulling up to the tee box between hole 3-7 while the group in front of them is no where to be seen, Marshall’s I don’t think control the pace of play here at all didn’t see one once except for teeing off and leaving the course sitting down, staff was friendly course layout is nice but for 20 dollars less you can get better and all around play. This course has gone down hill in 5 years

Challenging Course

Reston National is a challenging course. Course conditions were very good, except that the greens have not grown in yet leaving bumpy greens on certain holes. The fairways were manicured close and the rough was challenging to negotiate. The course layout is scenic. Overall, I would recommend this course to other fellow players.
