Well maintained city gem

It’s close to my place and a full 18 hole course. Nothing to complain about. There are much better MCG / private country club courses, but Reston course perfectly suits me regarding the accessibility, price, and distance. Thanks for being there.

Never again

Course management was terrible. A foursome group held up the entire course and no one corrected the issue. I played with a friend and it took the two of us 3hrs to play 9 holes. Never again will I play at this course.

Good evening mtrammel,

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear about your experience on the golf course today. While we've been able to manage significant improvements in pace of play with our recent changes in tee time intervals, we do realize there may be some occasional challenges. We'd love to hear from you in person to discuss your experience. Thank you again.

Hidden Gem

Played here with my wife’s co-workers during twilight time. I did not know this course was located so close to Reston Town Center. Very well maintained, fairways is wide open with a couple blind pins and the greens is top notch with minimal blemish. The course is surrounded by residential communities which was a good break of scenery to see homeowners and their dogs walking the path which runs parallel to the cart path. After the front 9, you will circle back to the club house. Also, kudos to the facilities crew for discreetly placing a few potty jons along the course. Driving range, putting and chipping areas all included. I will definitely play here again.

Thank you Reston National Golf Course!

Fun course to play

The course was in great shape. I think that Reston has a nice variety of open holes, while some are tighter with sloping fairways. Reston is famous for slow rounds, but I played on a Sunday with gorgeous weather and it took a little under 4 hours. I hear golfers complain all the time about the pace of play at Reston, but I have had more 4 hour rounds than I have 5. So, my advice is: Don't be dissuaded by the course's reputation! Prepare for a 5 hour round, but then be pleasantly surprised when its 4.5 or less.

Saturday late morning round - pretty skow

Pro shop staff (Harrison) was excellent in accommodating my own tee time mistake.

Good news was we were warned before beginning that the round would be slow, and it got better after a few holes, but then slowed down again - close to 5 hours for 18.

Weather conditions have been difficult for Northern VA courses, and Reston National is suffering poor greens, tees, and fairways about the same as rest.

Hello cmaslak4golf,

We're sorry to hear of your experience. Feedback on course conditions has been very positive this season. It looks like you visited us just before our recent switch to 10 minute tee time intervals. Perhaps we can have you back out to Reston while the weather is so nice. The course is in excellent shape. Thank you.

Nice course but SLOOOOW pace

Reston is one of the nicer public courses closest to DC, but it also one of the slowest pace courses. I played Sunday evening at 5:15 and expected to fly through solo, but only got to play 12 holes over 3 hours before it got dark. When we started, the entire first tee was open, so the spacing didn't appear to be an issue. However, starting from the 4th hole, we had to wait at every tee box with the people TWO groups ahead of us still teeing off (meaning it was a two group back-up). There were no rangers on the course at all to improve the pace of play in front of us (whichever group was holding up the course). This was not a one-off--it always happens at reston. It's a very nice course, and I enjoy the layout and length of it. It also has nice fairways and decent greens (although lots of unrepaired ball marks yesterday), but the pace is frustrating!!! (Note that I'm not an expert golfer either--I shoot about 90-95), so I'm not a scratch golfer complaining about pace of play on a public course. Most public courses in the area move along as expected for a public course, except for this one.
