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.

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.

Very Nice

My colleague and I finished work early in Leesburg and found a GolfNow deal for $45 so we hustled on over. We got there at the right time, hitting a big hole in the tee sheet so we were all by ourselves for the most part. Played the round in 3 and a half hours! Beautiful course, the greens and fairways are in great shape, the rough is pretty shaggy so if you didn't hit the fairway you'd better have a good eye to find your ball. Tee boxes could use some work but they weren't a problem, just the least perfect part of the course. There aren't a ton of elevation changes but it didn't strike me as the most walk-able course, some wide separation between holes. That's not a bad thing, just the fact.

The Grill makes an excellent hamburger and fries and Christian is the friendliest guys you'll meet. He does a great job taking care of customers in the grill.

Overall, very nice. Too bad it's in Haymarket and I live in Arlington, or this might be my home course!

Excellent course - good overall experience

Despite us having had rain the day before, the course was in incredible shape. The greens were well-kept and rolled pure and the fairways are pristine. I will definitely be back in the future!

Stotmy Weather

A wonderful course, great golf spoiled by stormy weather. Course is in good to great condition and should soon recover completely from spring aeration.

Tournament Really?

My tee time for 12:20 was moved to 12:45 due to an ongoing tournament, You should not be taking tee times during a tournament.

I was given a cart to drive, then immediately had it taken away.

Next time I hope there is not a tourney.

Great Customer Service

I wrote the previous review and wanted to follow up saying I do think this course has great customer service and will rebound from the weathered tee boxes and some other things. I would recommend playing and will go back because of their great customers service. I had an issue after my round with lost property and they were great in helping me. Go play BULL RUN!

What happened to this course?

A disappointing experience. I have played Bull Run many times and this was the first time this season. And wow, I can not believe how awful, and I’m sorry to say this but I mean awful experience this was. First off, I get to the driving range after paying $80 for my round to only find out they now charge for driving range balls. They used to be included. Next, we just went to the tee box at our time and there was no starter or Marshall and this was on a Sunday. At the tee-box, it looked like someone decided to kill all the grass and plant weeds. Then we got to the greens, which at one time I recall these greens being amazing, however they were being aerated so that made them bumpy, but ya know I can get and understand that. We stopped at the turn, my friend wanted a quick sandwich, but took awhile to get and then we ordered drinks and the amount of alcohol poured in them was equivalent to an ant pising, and I do t even care but the people behind us jumped us and now were right behind them on 10.

If I wanted a penny pinching service, with horrible tee-box conditions, bumpy greens, and nobody working on the course, I would have went to top golf. We paid $80 each and I would not have even wanted to pay $40, half that. I do not expect this from a course like Bull Run. I wouldnt be surprised if they look to sell the land for housing if this pattern continues, this was just awful and there is no other way to sugar coat it. For whatever its worth the bar tender was a cool guy to talk and enjoyed talking/venting to him afterwards about how awful the day was. This was not the bar tender who cheeped us on the drinks.. Do yourself a favor and don't play bull run until they get their act together and get some good reviews after mine.
