Solid course

Went out with a buddy mid week for a round, not too crowded and the staff was very accommodating. Pace of play was a bit slow for only having a twosome in front of us but still not awful. Tee boxes at times were a but rough but the fairways were in good conditions and the greens were phenomenal!

Fun Layout - Requires Full Complement of Shots

Played here many times. Reston is an older public course that gets lots of play. Fairways and greens are in very good condition given the summer and early fall busy season. Greens are a bit slow and some of the rough around greens is too "clumpy". Still, the course has plenty of character with elevation changes, interesting doglegs, and opportunities to score really well or really poorly. The initial drive on this course is always important, given long part 4s. Par 3s and 5s are best chances for scoring.

Long play time on the weekends

They schedule a new foursome every 8 minutes so on the weekends, it can easily take over 5 hours to get through 18 holes. The instructor team is top-notch.

Nice old course

Maintenance is pretty good but no where near top end. Nice old course fun to play but tee boxes are pathetic mostly sand no grass slip all over. Smaller old style greens are ok but green sides just off the putting surface are rough.

Reston national is a nice track. Well maintained, good staff and a quick round in the am.

Not overly challenging but enough variety to enjoy.

Overpriced

The course was too easy for the amount paid. There are much more challenging course in the price range. The greens were not in the best condition and were a little slow in my opinion...especially for an $80 green fee.

This was my first and last time playing this course even though I shot an 88 from the black tees.

Methinks this golfer doth complaint too much: the course has done it's part when a 15-19 handicapper shoots an 88. There is nothing wrong with the course except the price, but such is life in the DC area.

Long but fair course

Everything was good overall. The fairways were good. The starter told us before our round that the tee boxes and greens were sanded. The greens were still true and good, the sanding was not very visible. The tee boxes on the par 3s especially, however were full of sand and it was difficult for me to get my address stance stable. Otherwise it was a great layout and good course. Pace of play was great-4 hours! Staff were friendly and helpful.

Great Value for Seniors

The traditional knock on this otherwise excellent track is that pace of play is terrible and the price is high. If you are a senior playing during the week, however, neither of these problems now arise. Seniors get a terrific discount, and the staff is making significant -- and successful -- efforts to speed up play. My last three rounds have all been under 4 1/2 hours, and playing in a a twosome with a single-digit, we finished an afternoon round in 3 3/4 hours with ease! I highly recommend this wooded layout which has a good mix of interesting -- and challenging -- holes.

Nice track

Reston has a professional, friendly staff and a good facility. The driving range and putting/chipping/sand areas are well maintained as is the entire course.

Often pace of play is a concern about the course but today's round progressed smoothly though, as usual, the weekend was crowded. Perhaps the marshall was encouraging speedy play; we had no issues.

The course is long but fairly wide open. Bunkers are much better than most area courses.

First time, quick round!

Getting out at 7:00am was the key to getting in the round in 3 hours. Paired up with another golfer and we had a pleasant, quick round. Would definitely return to play again. Don't like gas golf carts, but walking the course is fairly easy. A very pleasurable round.

Good times at Reston National. Nice staff. Pace is slow so don't plan anything until at least 5.5 hours after your tee time. Course is in great shape.

Pleasantly surprised in course condition.

Greens were extremely hard and shots were not holding well even with short irons and Pro VIs. Yet they rolled really slow with lot of break.

Usually by this time of the year, they course is burned out in spots but they have done a great job. Fairways were in great shape as were bunkers (hit several)

Nice Public course

Joined up with a two some. Let us go off earlier than our tee time! Nice public course. Greens were tricky! Greens were full; good speed; tough reading at times. A little pricey for the course. I would play it again if given the chance to see if anything had changed.

Great course and a great value

I showed up without a tee time and was given a tee time within 20 minutes. I had time to hit a small bucket of balls. VERY nice driving range. Starter was professional and very friendly. I was paired up with 2 of the course "regulars." The course is a terrific layout, the greens in excellent condition.
We played the front nine in 1hr, 45 mins. The back nine is a great challenge. The overall pace was very good for as busy as it was.
I finished my round in just under 4 hours and the course seemed to be very busy.
I plan to come back regularly. I bought a discount golf card while I was there that looks pretty good.

back to the past

I play this course today the second time, after a few years that I stop because of pace of play.

well, today, I quit at 9 holes, I went off at 10:28 and it was 1:00 by the time I finish 9 holes.

Shame the course is nice, but the pace of play it is just terrible, I would give it another shot, but next week.

you got walkers that are not that young at all, the course is long, should not be walked, at all, not only that it has ups and downs so walking is fine if your handicap is at least an 8, it was just bad.

Good course

Have not play this course in over 3 years, was nice pace of play was good.

Greens are good, over all was great, quick tip, if you have a watch gps. Don't trust it, use the gps on the car.

Some greens are hard some are not, but hey is a public course, lol

60.00 plus bucks to play, still a bit stif , other courses within 15 miles are on 40 bucks range.

But if you are visiting Reston town center this is the place.

It can also be a big boys course if you choose to move back the tip tees .
Enjoy!!

Also it has a great practice facility
