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.

Like a Monet, best from far away.
This course used to be worth the drive. The fairways are in pretty bad shape with a lot of bald spots, the rough is a mish mosh of maybe 5 different types of grass and so inconsistent. The greens for the most part were ok, but the fringe of the greens was balder than my father-in-law. I probably won't play here again this season. It's a shame, but it seems Raspberry golf management has really stopped prioritizing course maintenance.
Huge Wasps around the greens made it difficult to take your time to putt. I hope they take care of this problem
Poor Conditions
I was very disappointed in the current conditions of the course. The fairways were in good condition. Tee boxes ok. The ruff and fringe were in terrible condition. Several greens were in poor shape with many ground hornet nests on them and flying insects while putting. Poor rating
for the grounds keeper.
I wish the Club would have alerted guests to the conditions during the booking process. For the prices charged, this course is not a good value now. I hope they will improve as I gave enjoyed playing this layout for several years.
Not a good day for Bull Run
I have played Bull Run a bunch of times and love the course. Today was a bad experience. First off, after paying $97 dollars and asking if balls were on the range, we were given the choice to spend $5 more for a small bag of balls. Just charge me $100 and give me a bag! Then, on the first tee we were told that it's cart path only. No rain in a week, but they are worried about carts on the course for some reason (it was 95 degrees too).
THEN, on the 4th green we were met with swarming wasps (100's of them). We called and were told to ignore them, since they are ground wasps and not dangerous. We had already skipped that green, but these bugs were on every green for the rest of the round.
Hey Greenskeeper, how about you take of the bug problem and let us drive on the course? Also, why not tell us about the wasps when we paid, so we would not have skipped a green. I will be back, but today was my worst experience on Bull Run to date and I hope it was an anomaly.
Much Improved
It's obvious that they put more care into the golf course these days. Conditions were great from tee to green. The 18th hole can be a problem because it's a reachable par 5 and it took us almost 25 minutes to play the hole and finish. Otherwise fair but challenging course with nice range, chipping and putting areas.
Great course
Always wanted to play this course and glad I did. Some holes require course knowledge ( like double fairways) and greens were a bit tricky. Great experience!
I am a member of another local course and will be playing this one again. It’s worth the money!!!
weekday game
I like this course. However, the day we played the pace of game was terrible. We had to wait almost every hole. There was no marshal to control the pace of playing.
Great Course
Course is in great shape. Greens rolled true, fairways are wide and in very good condition. Will definitely be back if I can catch another deal. Great course.
Very enjoyable round
It was very hot and humid. I was even par on the front 9, then bogeyed every hole on the back 9. The cart girl kept us well hydrated with plenty of water. The course is challenging enough while remaining enjoyable. I’ll be back to play again to see if the back 9 woes were about the heat, the course or just me.
Excellent Layout
Have always loved this course. In previous years the greens were slow. Not today - running at a good speed. For those complaining about GolfNow or not getting the Raspberry Golf Trail rate, use your brain. Pick up the phone and call the course. Most will give you the GolfNow rate or close to it and you won't have to pay the surcharge GolfNow tacks onto the rate. Been doing that for the last 5 years.
RKS
One of the better courses in the metro DC area of beautiful countryside course up against Bull Run Mountain very pretty vistas and the homes that are on the course are spaced far enough away if you can get a deal on golf now well worth playing I’ve played here often on for years
Poor attitude towards GolfNow golfers
Golfers should not be impacted by course’s financial agreement with GolfNow and who gets money for Hot Deal times. Low interest in customer satisfaction. Too bad short financial gain is more important than maintaining golfers playing their course for the long term. Disappointing.
