They have completely let it go

Played here several times over the last 2 years and they have completely let it go at this point. The greens were 75% dirt and the conditions were horrible like they have given up.

Shabby

My son and I played for first time in 5 years and were stunned by the state of the course. A third of the greens were a mess, the rough hadn’t been mowed or tended. Lost balls just off the fairway. Cart paths in disrepair. Sad. And they charged us $20 per seat in the cart! What is that? Felt sad and cheap.

Don’t waste your money

For what you pay this course is not worth it. Black spots on the green and you’d think you’re in the rough when you’re in the fairway. Terrible conditions. Not worth.

What a letdown.

I’ve played this course many times over the years and it’s always been a decent course with moderate value and a great location. This was the first time I’ve played here since last year. I wish I’d read reviews before booking this round, which I pre-paid for as a “Hot-Deal”on GolfNow. The course is in horrendous condition. Tee boxes are terrible to nonexistent. Greens are some of the worst I’ve seen. Fairways are ok, but not great. The 10th hole was closed “due to conditions” according to our carts’ screens. But it appeared to be in the same condition as every other hole on the course. We were not told that it was closed prior to teeing off. The rumor is that the course was sold and the new owner wants to close it down and develop the land. That would make sense as it appears that there is little to no money being put back into this course to keep it playable. I’m sorry to say that this was most likely my last round at Reston.

Golf camp

I received an email from the course before I played telling me that the course was in poor condition. That did not deter me from playing. However, having golf camp kids on the course skipping around on really irritated me. I don’t know why they thought that bringing a group of kids to play around me to scatter on the fairway was a good idea. I don’t plan to play there again.

Do not play this course

May this be the worst course in the DMV? No one should pay more than 25 bucks and thats including a cart! The greens are basically black and you have forests growing out of the bunkers.

Reston National Is In Bad Shape

Course is in miserable shape: most tees and greens are bare, hard, dry. Fairways are not much better. Overall, the course shows the effects of a hot summer with little evidence of restorative maintenance or attention. Roughs are overgrown with high weeds. I've played this course many times for many years and never saw it in such bad shape. I won't return until I hear that it's back to proper condition. Other area courses are in much better shape.

STAY AWAY a horror

I have played Reston national since 1978 and you can’t call this a golf course anymore it is now a badly maintained cow pasture

First our golf cart broke down on the side of the first green and when we finished over 5 hours later it was still there

It was 86 degrees and all the water barrels were empty

Now the course was by far in the worst condition of any course I have ever played in 50 years

The tee boxes had sand and a few weeds just like the so called rough

Don’t bother looking for grass there wasn’t any

The fairways had very little grass and the bunkers had grass growing out with very little sand

In fact if you wanted to hit off grass you had to hit in the bunkers

Many bunkers were so neglected that they were completely overgrown with weeds

Now the greens were a joke as on every hole you putted over dried mud

This course which has always been wonderful was now a low grade cow pasture ‘ my apologies to cow pastures which are better maintained

They cut the price half but in reality they should have paid you to play it

It’s obvious to see that the new owner wanted to redo the course for housing and get rid of the course

Of course they denied it so spitefully he had just let it run down to its pathetic pitiful state as punishment to all the golfers who are duped into playing this combination of weeds dried mud and sand

Stay away at all costs because what you end up playing can’t be called golf

It’s obvious they haven’t spent a penny on maintenance

In fact there was not a single pro to talk with after the round

I don’t know how any pro worth his salt would want to be associated with this complete mess

STAY AWAY unless your a glutton for punishment

Conditions

Course used to be good a couple years ago, but it’s gotten way worse. Used to love playing here and pay $80 for it. They recently dropped the prices down but still pretty high for the green conditions. Also if you’re off the fairway good luck finding your ball. The rough is just uncut and super thick. You hit a good shot that rolls off the fairway into 6 inches thick rough. They need to either drop the prices or fix this course up.

Horrible course, overpriced

Course is in the worst condition I have ever seen. They are overcharging way too much for what the course is at the moment. Wouldn’t recommend playing here even if a tee time cost $30. Don’t play!

The greens have massive brown mud patches all over them. The course is in terrible condition overall. Tee boxes are overgrown. Lots of maintenance needed, especially on the greens.

Poor Conditions

Dead patches all over greens, tee boxes are just sandy muddy or full of weeds. Bunkers are essentially construction zones. Avoid this place until management changes or they invest money in to repairing the course. It is awful.
