Reston National Golf Course

I’ve played Reston national quite a few times and the conditions are worse every time. They barely mow anything, so the course tee to green is very thick and slow. Can’t remember the last time I actually saw a mower out there when I was playing.. Bunkers are not maintained at all with barely any sand and not raked. Greens are in terrible shape and are probably the worse part of the course. Most have large patches that should be considered ground under repair and a ton of unrepaired pitch marks. Combine the frequent bumps with no mowing/rolling and nearly every putt rolls incredibly slow.

No ranger either so usually pace of play is usually slow + no beverage cart even in the middle of summer

Only good aspects of this course are the layout and friendly staff. It is only worth playing on a hot deal < $50 with the expectation that you will encounter some very rough areas condition wise

Did not honor price quoted by Teeoff even though I showed them an email with what I owed.

First time playing here. Pins were in tough positions often on a hill or close to the fringe. There were a number of large holes/dirt mounds on some greens from burrowing bugs it looked like.

This was not the courses fault but nobody fixed their divots too. I tried to fix at least 2-3 per hole even if they weren't mine but too many left still. Somewhat tough course despite no water, number of bunkers surrounding the holes usually. Some tight fairways but overall not bad. Often the putting was the most challenging part. I'd say try to get a cheaper deal other than the weekend $75 with a cart price and try it out.

Despite encountering an unfriendly staff member at the driving range, my experience at Reston National Golf Course was excellent overall. The pro shop staff were friendly, the starter was excellent, and the pace of play was impressive. The course itself was in good condition, with the rough being slightly higher than preferred but still manageable.

I visited Reston National out of curiosity due to negative comments from some golf groups, but I found it to be superior to the group's darling, Herndon Centennial. While the driving range has limitations, the course itself offers a more challenging and rewarding experience. The small cup sizes at Reston National add to the difficulty, contrasting with the more forgiving Centennial, and could account for some of the hate, as I'm sure some egos, and scorecards, get bruised on the greens of RNGC.

Reston National stands out as a "big boy" course, comparable to the top courses I play in Puerto Vallarta, and I now consider it a top choice for tee times, right alongside Stonewall. I hope the critics continue to favor Centennial, ensuring Reston National maintains it's fantastic pace of play.

It’s frustrating to pay full price to play a course that gets half (you know) treatment/care. The sand is terrible. The tee boxes and fairways are full of weeds. Hopefully the money s going to the clubhouse staff, bar staff, cooks, and starters who are extremely nice. Overall disappointing.

Good conditon.

The pace was slow because I have to wait for the summer camp

Kids play before me.

That made me wait for a while and I cannot finish my play because of rain.

The course is in terrible shape. They don’t have the equipment to roll the greens and the mower to cut the green is broken. The picker for the driving range has been down for over a month so they are only selling small buckets. The owner wants to develop the property so he is deliberately letting it fail. It’s a real shame.

For $100 not worth it at all. Poor poor conditions

Not a bad course but it’s not worth $99. Play was slow, 5 hours. Staff was friendly.

It’s a good course….but not $100 a round good, come on now!

Have not played here since the start of COVID ( summer of 2020). My group played from the senior tees due to a few other players below average skill-sets. My first time from these tees though I am age eligible. All parts of the course are in great shape except maybe 4 or 5 holes that apprear to have not changed their locations. It was very obvious and noticeable with the excessive foot traffic and damage around the hole. ( Maybe a one-time oversite or a lazy crew member)

Staff is friendly and accommodating. Glad to have come back to play with friends before a show at Wolf Trap Pavilion.
