Great golf experience

My son and I went on a miserable drizzly day. I thought it would be horrible. The course was in great condition and we had a blast! One of the better rounds he and I had ever shot. Thank you Reston National!

Reston Nat'l (4/21/14)

The course was actually in pretty good condition. The weather was pretty good, just a little windy. The greens were fairly fast and very challenging pin location but the condition of the greens were a little rough. Overall, worth the $50 but I don't think it's worth much more than that.

One of the better public courses in NOVA

I have played Reston before, but the course was in great shape. The greens were mildly bumpy, but the tee boxes and fairways were great. The pace of play was a little behind normal, but the weather was so nice, that was to be expected.

Good course if you can get a good deal.

For $49 on a weekend, it is a pretty good price. Pace of play was slow towards the back nine. Usually the pace of play is faster but today was a bit slow. Greens are deceiving. They look slow but are fast, looks like its going to break but is a straight putt. Can be very challenging.

Happy to Play in February

Reston National is an excellent track. I have played there for over 30 years, but only once every year or two these days. Our foursome booked a tee time here yesterday because our home course was closed due to recent snow that was still melting. To be honest, Reston National probably should have been closed too - or at least the back 9. It was very wet and the snow had not melted in some shady areas. That being said, we had a blast playing because of our "cabin fever" from all of the bad weather lately. The staff was super nice.

Conditions were good but pace of play horrible

I specifically made a tee time for 1:24 with every intent to finish before dark. Of course when checking in with starter (who is also the Director of Golf) told us the starting time was 10-15 minutes behind I said "sure it is it's Reston". Well we started 20 minutes late and it was dark by hole 17. 5 hours and 15 minutes later on a Monday no less. Only thing good I can say is the course was in pretty good condition. They should also give you range balls if you are playing there as well.

Poor Time Management

Disappointed with staff ability to manage tee times.
Had reservation for 10:36, did not tee off til 11:05 then had a round of over 5 hours. Waiting for almost every shot for the first seven holes, played two holes and almost got a rythym started then had to wait at 10 again.

This course has no concept of what a reservation is, apparently they have a full reservation sheet yet still jam groups in.

The starter said the where already 25 minutes behind when I arrived at 9:30 to check in. Asked why since there was no frost, fog or rain delay.

Would rather spend time on the weekend playing other courses where you can tee off at your reserved time and play at a decent pace and be done in a little over 4 hours.

As much as I like the layout, not worth the time it takes.

Seems like this is standard weekend antics at this course.

Unless you want to spend the majority of your day standing around waiting, I would not recommend this course.

Well manicured and in great shape

First time playing at Reston National. Staff was friendly and helpful. Front nine relatively open; back nine narrower and more challenging. Fairways in great shape; greens in good shape too. Will play this course again.

Good course - extremely slow

Course is very crowded and has slow play. Lots of traffic, so greens have a lot of ball marks. You pay a lot for location. However, good layout, not too difficult, and playable for many skill levels

Classic Ed Ault design

I grew up playing this course day in and day out from my high school golf days where I played the Front 9 four or five days per week on a weekly basis. Needless to say, the course is practically in my DNA at this point. Not much has changed in the past 10-15 years. Some trees have been trimmed. Some new shrubs planted. But still enjoyable.

One of the things I've come to appreciate more over time is the design of the course. At first glance it's pretty simplistic and then you gradually realize each hole is pretty unique with some themes for the whole course. You can really score well when your ball is in the fairway and there's no real reason to be super aggressive. Just take what the course gives you. The greens are strategically bunkered and the greens undulate near those bunkers. None are multi-tiered but have some spots that are tough to read.

On this day the course was in surprisingly good condition for the time of year. Normally, by this time in NoVA the fairways are burnt in many areas and the greens are a little crusty. Not today. Today everything was very green and rolling true. I hope they continue maintaining the course at this level. The steep price will then be more worth it.

Second time around

Second time playing this course. Was really disappointed in the greens. I guess the patrons who play this course often are against fixing divots. It as if they haven't been treated in weeks. And for the price, the greens should be in much better conditions.

Convenient, but not the best

Very convenient for those in Tysons, and other parts of Northern VA. Generally in good shape but greens were pretty banged up when I played on 8/2/2013. Fun little track, not super difficult. Will wait for mid fall to return, hopefully course will be in better shape.

Convienient location

I play this course because I live very close. I would not drive more than 20-30 minutes to play here because of the pace of play and the cost. Getting the pace of play fixed would go a long way to improving the rating. The course is in very good condition though.

Bad conditions, over-priced

Played with two buddies yesterday- we play many course in VA and MD. The course is a nice layout and the staff if friendly. Unfortunately, the course is in bad condition. Some greens are pristine, but many others are a mess and in need of serious repair. It also seems like nobody (golfers or maintenance crew) fill divots or repair ball marks. For the golfnow price of $67, this course is way over-priced and there are far better courses in the area. We played a better course the week prior for a golfnow price of $16

Jewel of sunrise Vally

This is a really fun course with nice terrain and pretty well maintained. It's nesseled in the center of Reston and the houses along the course add a charm to the course. The holes are somewhat challanging but are forgiving of errors. The course had a fair ammount of up and down hill tee shots that add enjoyable variety. I could play this course every day!

Very Well Kept Course

Reston National has a very well kept course! We had a great day and received a great discount through Golf Now for taking the 1100 tee time.

My only complaint is that the course maintainers were actually watering greens in the middle of the round. This made play a bit weird and seems to go against the grain of watering grass mid-day.
