Reston National Golf Course

I am an experienced golfer playing many levels of courses from high end to moderate! First time playing this course. I expected a better experience given the cost: expensive for the extremely low value plus an additional surcharge for a cart

Course conditions deplorable

Forward tee boxes were unkept & mostly located within the course sometimes difficult to find , black tees were a bit better

Fairways unkept & rough

Rough was just that & appeared to grow wild & often extended into fairways Even balls hit in the fairway were unfindable?

Greens were rutted, rough. & certainly not rolled, holes were not cupped

Sand traps were not raked to begin the round & other than my team no one raked after play, rakes hard to find

Geese droppings everywhere

Signage was non existent & difficult to find next hole of play

GPS was at least available & helped

I do not recommend this course & will not play it again

I would gladly accept a refund full or partial

Evidently, this course is known for its slow pace. Our round started out badly from the start. Got to the tee box and the group in front of us was still waiting to tee off. It was so bad that on just the second hole, one of the guys in our group already called for the marshal. Marshal said that it's the group on the 7th and 8th were the hold up and they've told to pick it up. Fine. Got to 7th hole - no change. What's their excuse? Marshal was called again, and we were told that it's Friday, it's the first nice day (really? that was lie), and pretty much nothing else they can do.

The gnats at this course are horrible. I don't mind them, but this course has an overabundance of them.

Very slow play (just over 5 hrs) cause no course Marshall & course condition was playable but not much better.

Fairway and tee box conditions were horrible. Greens were average at best. This use to be one of the better public courses but they are showing very little care for the condition of the course.

After getting paired with a random 3, I found they were fun to play with. Some of the tee boxes could use some work, but other than that everything was solid. Greens were consistent. Fairways maintained. Rough not too long. The bugs are definitely present so I’d bring bug spray. Overall it was a good round.

Needs a lot of work. Tee boxes have longer grass and a lot of sand and whomever set up the tees that day put many on downhill areas of the box. Greens were not good - inconsistent speeds, various grasses, bumpy, and lots of pock marks.

It's really a shame. Reston was a nice course 20 or so years ago. Unfortunately the upkeep has been poor and the course shows it. Like the layout, do not like the course conditions.

Course conditions were really disappointing. We all would have been mad had we paid any more than we did for our round. The owners are in a fight with the community about turning the land into multi-family housing. One could surmise they aren't invested in keeping the course nice, but rather letting it go to trash and losing customers so they can argue that there's no demand and they should be allowed to sell and rezone etc. etc. It should and can be better. There is so much demand for courses in the area that if they'd just take care of it and price their rounds appropriately, they'd be booked all day. Unless it improves, we'll be golfing elsewhere.

It's a pretty average course with a pretty average price. It's fairly well maintained. Fairways were a bit spotty and greens were slow, but nothing too bad. I remember it being nicer last time I played (8 or 9 years ago) but that could just be faulty memory.

I had the 1st tee time (7:30) so pace of play was excellent and I was paired with a good guy so from that perspective everything was great.

The course just isn’t in good shape - Fairways, greens, rough, tees are all just terrible.

If I didn’t have to be back at my house by 11:00 I would have driven further away.

Its a shame because RN is literally 5 minutes from my home.

Decent round but slow pace of play.

There were clear spots of ground under repair that were not marked. Not enough to severely hinder my round, but enough to be noticeable on most holes (I.e. uneven fairways, cut lines of cups, fairway to first cut, low points of course being spotty)

Overall pleasant round for a reasonable price.

The tee boxes are pretty torn up, they need to be redone. The cart path is also in terrible shape, good luck keeping a drink... The bunkers were rocky and hard (there might have been 3 half decent ones on the whole course). The greens were super slow, but looked to have been aerated recently so that should improve. The fairways were in decent shape. I wish more people replaced their divots though.

Course is always exquisite but like every time I play pace of play is ruined because there’s no Marshall enforcing pace of play. Round was completely slowed to a halt by a threesome walking taking four practice swings each hitting the ball 30 yards a stroke and simply not playing ready golf or being aware that they were significantly slowing play down and allowing others to play through. Also giving the two some behind us separate carts doesn’t help who started hitting into us doesn’t help. We ended up stopping at the turn and just chalking the rest of the round. The course, its staff, the facilities are all top notch which makes it so infuriating for it to be ruined by there being no Marshall on a Saturday round. It’s not the first time this has happened there, I was hoping this time would be different but just hire a Marshall.

My wife and I play this course because it's convenient to where we live and the greens fees are moderate. We got a beautiful (unseasonably warm) day and enjoyed walking the course for the first time. Tee boxes are filled with sand as the grass has not quite come in yet. Fairways were in decent shape and the greens were a little rough (just aerated). All fairly understandable since we're still pretty early in the season. I'm hopeful that the conditions will improve once the grass fills in this spring.
