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.

Summer heat not too friendly to the course

Course is in pretty bad shape. Greens are OK but tee boxes are pretty much all dirt and fairways have a number of dirt patches throughout the course. Course seemed to try to save more damage by over watering the course but that just made our round soggy.

pace & condition

Green speed was very consistent and rolled true, so those three punt were on me.

Pace of play was really good considering it was father's day weekend, 4 - 41/2 hours, specially coming off of Saturdays play at 1757, six hour round, ouch.

If you've never been you gotta try it very pretty course as well.

Funday Friday!

Booked a foursome to play golf on Friday before Father's Day. Weather was PERFECT! We had a great time in our foursome. The course was in better shape than when I played it 5 years ago. Tee boxes are Bermuda grass, so in another week the Bermuda will be on fire! This course is great for an "average" golfer and challenging enough for the single handicapper. Every hole is different...a MUST play for your foursome this summer!

Love this course

In good condition except for some sand traps. Free driving range balls is something you don’t see at courses anymore. Will be playing this course a lot.

Gem of a course--one of best in Northern Virginia

I love the layout of this course! It is a pretty course. Condition was very good but Bermuda tees haven't grown in yet. Played early and flew around in well under four hours. Staff in pro shop and restaurant were friendly and helpful. Driving range could use some attention--mats and balls very worn out. Otherwise, practice area is great. Overall a very pleasant experience and decent value.

Fun Course in Nice Condition

This was my first time playing the course and I really liked the course. There were things I really liked and a few things I did not so much care for.

Overall, course was in great shape with smooth fast greens. Fairways were awesome (workers were just mowing the rough for the first time this year (still early spring time). The fairways were recently mowed and were great). There are lots of very pretty looking golf holes. Very nice practice area.

Because it was still early spring, some of the bunkers had no sand and were just dirt. Other bunkers were full of sand and nice. The tee boxes were all shaved down low and brown and looked bad vs. how nice the rest of the course looked.

The course is challenging, but fair. I would defiantly play this course again.

Really enjoyed this round! Fairways where in good shape and rough was long. The greens where very fast and challenging. Sand could have been better! Overall a great round!

Nice views-open

Had 1pm tee time- teed off around 125. They had a big frost delay that morning. We got paired with some members who helped around on the front 9. Pace of play was poor. Took 2:45 to play the front and the members we were with had enough by the turn. My buddy and I stopped for drinks at the clubhouse. When we came back the front end of our cart had been totaled by the beverage cart. Took us a few minutes to figure out what happened and get a new cart and back out. Back went a bit faster but could use a Marshall to pick up the pace in front of us. Took over 5 hours for a Friday afternoon round. I’ll definitely come back and give it another chance but We were just disappointed with the pace of play and having our cart destroyed.

Fun course

Course was in great shape with smooth fast greens. Had 2 hr frost delay but bar had free cookies to ease the disappointment.

Very nice warm up area with chipping/bunker green and putting green. Range balls included in price.

Always enjoy playing this course as the layout is challenging but fair.

Not Worth the Price

A friend recommended this course and unfortunately it did not live up to the hype. Course was in terrible shape considering the price. Compared to other courses priced in the same range and some even less expensive, this was not a good course. Crab grass growing all around the greens almost made them unplayable. Greens were very soft and seemed as though they had not been rolled in awhile. Spike marks and ball marks made for bumpy putting on all 18 holes. Course does not hold water well either. Had balls that plugged in the fairway. I will not play this course in the near future. Can't believe its part of the Raspberry Trail considering the other courses are not in this condition.

Thank you for sharing your experience. As you mentioned, the summer has been difficult at Bull Run with our recent heat and rain events Repairs to affected areas are underway and will continue into the fall. We look forward to seeing you again as we continue to bring conditions back to level that we expect at Bull Run.

Bull Run = Excellent Golfing Experience

Played this course on a Saturday morning. I was a single and got teamed up with a threesome, who actually plays frequently. Bull Run is a great Course, we teed off at 7:21 and finished our round at 11:15. At times it felt like we were the only ones on the course but that's because of the layout. We never had to wait and we were not pushed from behind. The course itself was in great shape and it requires you to think about each shot. Greens were excellent and rolled true. I would highly recommend Bull Run to anyone, but I would also recommend getting an early tee time.
