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.

Great Value

It's been a tough, hot summer for area courses and it showed at Bull Run.

Overall we were happy with the course.

Decent Course

Overall-good condition, greens very good, tee boxes very good, some damaged fairways, but overall decent. Rough a little high, lost several balls.

No ranger on course, slow play towards end of round. #18 slows play. Four groups on this hole.

Club house, very good and modern. Chris Lewis, Head Pro was very accommodating-warm and friendly.

Nice course

Great course! There was some slow play but not to bad. The course is a fair challenge and forgiving for all levels of players. I will return to play again.

Average course

The layout is ok..big landing areas off the tee. Nothing tricky about the approaches or the greens...everything is in front of you. Lots of burnt up areas and grass thickness on tee boxes varied hole to hole. Some boxes would have 1”+ grass!! I understand this is done to keep the box from burning, but...

It’s an ok course in ok shape. Not worth $82, that’s for sure.

First Time Playing

Bull Run

This was my first experience at Bull Run. The staff was extremely friendly and I was even met with a golf cart immediately upon entering the parking lot and a bag attendant cleaned all of my clubs when I walked off the 18th green. The layout was nice with wide fairways and elevated greens on most holes. For the middle of August, the course was extremely wet. There was virtually no roll in the fairways and quite a bit of standing water throughout the course. The greens rolled well however, there was a significant amount of crab grass on the greens and they had not been cut for the weekend. All in all, a nice layout and staff but for the price and condition, I won’t be going back.

Best course for the bucks

Love this course. It was in good condition after all this hot weather. Was disappointed that the driving range was closed. No discount given or maybe a bottled water. Won’t stop me from going back

Good food, bad course !

Fairways are soft and spongy because they won't let you drive on them! Greens are terrible! Starter was rude and overbearing.

Fun Course

Great course will reward you on great drives, but does not penalize too hard on bad shots. Always a chance to recover. Hole 9 and 18 the ultimate risk reward holes. You have to really examine your game because they will expose your faults. Will play again.

Course is in great shape

While I've played this course many times in the past today was my first time at Bull Run this year. Last year they had a lot of thin fairways but this time the course was in excellent condition. It looks like they did some good work restoring the course to prime conditions (of course all the rainfall we've had this Spring couldn't have hurt). The greens were in good shape as well, rolling a good speed and very true.
