Reston National Golf Course

The course has a great layout. Lots of trees, elevation changes, ponds, creeks, reachable 5-pars, and overall interesting holes. However, many of the tee boxes have no grass, others are dotted with crabgrass, most of the sand traps have no sand in them and many of the greens are in terrible shape. The fact that the sand traps are mostly dirt (not sand) is a fixable problem and shows that they are not willing to put money into the course. It is a shame, because the course has great potential and the staff there are fantastic..

The course has been steadily getting better over the past month. The crew has been doing a lot better job of making sure people stay off the holes that are cart path only and it shows. Keep up the good work!

Course was in great shape. Only negative is majority of morning players were walkers. Waited on most tee boxes. Very short and forgiving course. Great Value

Reston is normally is nice, upscale facility. However, the course is not in great shape, especially the tee boxes and some greens, and there is no service. There are no marshalls out on the course, and there is no beverage cart. We ended up behind a slow, rude group that held us and everyone behind us up, leading to a round of just over 5 hours.

Overall, given the weather of the summer, Reston National is in decent shape. That being said, there are many tee boxes that are in really tough shape. Fairways and greens are in good shape. Pace of play was 4 hours on the nose. We got stuck behind a slow 4 some starting on #14.

Some parts of course need more grounds keeping attention, but overall good.

Checked in at 1100 and also buy range balls, get to the range and they are out. No one around to pick up. Got a refund but I need the range to loosen up. Tee boxes are a mess. Fairways and greens were okay.

Course was in decent shape with greens in the late phase of aeration.

Recent reviews have been critical of conditions, primarily tee boxes, and other issues. Overall, the course was in decent shape, with some burned out fairways growing back to life and the tee boxes on the mend. Some bunkers were newly filled with sand, while a couple others looked like rough clay. Overall service is good, but not fantastic and it's hard to discern what difference the shift from Casper to Kemper has meant for overall operations. We were given a dangerous cart with a loose roof that hit our heads, but that was readily replaced.

On to the course: Reston National is one of the most popular and busy courses in the area, conveniently located, with a classic American parkland design that is appealing to most players over many years. Representative of its era of design, it's fairly long and features large greens.

The holes unfold amidst mature trees that obscure views of the hundreds of townhouses that line the course, but the course has a fairly open feel. If you play from black tees (as most do), you'll find that the long par 4's just keep coming, particularly 10/12/13, three holes in the 420-440 yard range. The best holes might be the three par 5's, none of which are overly long, but which present some variety.

The course is very walkable and is currently offering a price break for walkers.

The range is busy with a very active golf school focused on kids and beginning players and there's a decent practice area as well.

Poor restroom facilities on course. Run-down has carts Tattered awning over front door. Gus the starter was AWESOME!

Overall, my favorite course in this area, out of the 5-6 I've played.

Waited for almost 30 mins for a golf cart. Head Pro came out 3 times and never even acknowledged anyone. The foul mouthed started actually felt bad and tried to help. When I saw the Pro not caring it set the round up for failure. Tee boxes were a disaster, looked like a rotted cow pasture. Ladies members in front of us were slow and rude. 2hrs 37 minutes from 9.

Walked off after 9 paid for 18.

Way over priced for the terrible conditions and level of service.

We will never return.

The course went thru a brutal hot July and then a soggy August which can be seen on some parts of the fairways. The tee boxes however have been invaded by crab grass making them difficult to choose a reliable spot to tee off. The greens are in decent shape but someone needs to take special care in replacing the holes when they change the pin placement. The rough is just the right cut as it will penalize you for landing your ball there. Overall this course is a good one to play.
