Bull Run Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Situated in the foothills of Bull Run Mountain, Bull Run Golf Club has a beautiful woodland setting that is conveniently located just minutes from many historic Civil War sites. The course plays through mature forests and across lush, grassy meadows. There are also several ponds that come into play throughout. The expansive layout covers over 450 acres, allowing plenty of room for the native flora and fauna. The risk-reward layout has plenty of challenges for more daring hitters but it also offers wide fairways that are molded to steer the ball towards the center. The landing areas are generous but they are often framed by grassy hollows, bunkers, or mature trees. Bull Run is challenging, but playable, which is why the club is considered one of the best golf courses in the D.C. area.

Beautiful course
Great day on the course. Nice tees and greens. Being from Florida, $80 still feels like a lot of money for a weekday round of golf but that’s par for the course up here. Beautiful course with nice layout and not a course where you lose a bunch of balls.
Not so great
Course conditions leave alot to be desired, between the too long rough and the greens taken over by cicada killers to the lack of water coolers on the course. There needs to be some primary rough where you can at least find your ball, oh and some sand in the bunkers would be a nice touch too. For 75 bucks for a midweek round you should expect better.
Course is in excellent shape
Some courses are struggling with the heat but bull run seems to have it all under control. Greens, tee boxes and fairways were all in good shape!
No pride in conditioning
As long as you stay out of the bunkers, you are fine. Apparently, it is too much work for them to properly maintain their bunkers b/c they are complete trash -- like unplayable. For over $100 a round, golfers should expect more than mud and rocks. I'd be embarrassed if I were a Bull Run member.
Poor Conditioning
I play Bull Run regularly, so this is not a one-time thing. If I pay over $100 a round, I expect a course to have playable bunkers. The condition of Bull Run's bunkers is a disgrace and has been for years. Put some sand in them and have the maintenance crew rake/treat them on occasion.
Bull Run - First Time
Excellent course and we enjoyed our round. Driving range and putting green were in great shape. My wife and I plan playing this course again and only suggestion to the staff is being a little friendly goes a long way. I know it was early when we played our round, but the folks in the clubhouse seemed a little on the grumpy side. The starter was great and very friendly!!! Once again overall the course was outstanding, quiet and I would highly recommend this course to others in the Northern VA area.
Course is in excellent shape
I love this course and even more so when it is in as good of shape as it is right now!
Stay out of the Rough
maybe it was due to gas shortage, but the rough was deep and impossible to find your ball if you miss the fairway. Tee boxes were flat and divot-free, greens and fairways were nicely manicured. Beer cart made sufficient rounds. Fun day other than the lost balls in the rough.
