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.

Better every time
This course is more and more fun every time I play it. The course is fair with a fun mix of challenging holes and scoring holes.
Well rounded experience
From the excellent practice facility to the great course layout to the great conditions, we loved playing here. Staff was friendly and helpful.
Time will pass before I come back
Didn't want to just walk on, so I made a tee time for a single. Evidently, the threesome who I was paired with decided to bring a fourth golfer. So even though I made a tee time, It wasn't honored. The manager said they could change my tee time at their discretion. And by the way, they decided to tell me as MY foursome was teeing off. REALLY! Fortunately for me, a couple of foursomes later only showed up with three so off I went. Otherwise, I might still be standing there.
Nice Course!
This was my first time playing Bull Run. I found the course to be laid out well, with a good mix of challenging and easy holes. Even thought I played on January 1, the course was in good shape for winter play. My only complaint was slow play by one foursome that pushed the end of my round into twilight.
Great
The course fairways were punched last week and with that I still gave the course a 4 star rating! Great conditions on the greens and with lift and place in play for the fairways, it was a great round. Holes are visually appealing and varied. Great course and even better if you play in the middle of the week ... 18 holes in 3 hours for a two some who had more than a few shots that we had to look for.
Bull Run
I played Bull Run last in mid-September, and the conditions were pretty bad. We were getting a lot of heat and no rain, so it wasn't as though the course was being neglected, it was just dried out all over. When we played this round, the course had really bounced back into shape, and it was nice to play.
Great course
This definitely will be my home course. One of the best 18 holes I ever play on.
Thank You!!
Our fairways are showing almost full recovery and are playing very well! Greens are rolling great as well!
So happy you enjoyed the course.
See you soon!
Great course at a great price
Had a great time. 2 foursomes in front of us were pretty slow.
SO happy you had a great day!
Thank you, come see us again!
great course
very scenic. Each hole had unique design
Thank you for sharing your experience at Bull Run.
We are fortunate to be set in such a scenic location with the backdrop of the Bull Run Mountains.
The course conditions have improved dramatically from our summer heat damage and the lay out is as good as ever.
We hope to see you again soon!
Very disappointed
I play this course 10-15 times a year and take lessons with the pro.
This is the worst condition I have ever seen the course (yes we just had a week of rain, but it was tourn up). The greens where the only part of the course that warrented the $75 free.
The driving range (normally free) was closed and the staff in the pro shop didn't want to help with anything other than taking your money and sending you to the starter. Sunday morning with lots or people playing and no beverage girl/person.
I used to make all my friends drive out to play this course with me but that won't happen any time soon now.
Thank you for sharing your recent experience at Bull Run.
Last weekend provided an exceptional challenge as we experienced over six inches of rain over a four day period leaving the course saturated to the point where we were unable to cut fairways or roughs for several days. The rain also left the driving range in a state with standing water in several areas necessitating its closure.
After a hot summer that had left our fairways and roughs in rough shape we are seeing improvement in areas with good recovery in grass growth in all areas.
We expect continued recovery that will bring us back to the conditions that we and our clientele expect.
We hope to see you soon as the improvement continues.
Over watered and burned
Save your money, go elsewhere. Many fairways burnt out and they are over soaking the course. Also, third time playing and once again getting into verbal battles with other golfers. People that golf here are real jerks.... never going back.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I am sorry to hear that you had a negative experience with some fellow golfers, it is not a complaint that we hear often but we do regret that you had to endure the situation.
As for the wet fairways, we are currently making the needed repaird=s to the burned out areas from the summer heat with new seed. Unfortunately we must keep those areas very moist for the seed to take hold. The project is going well and we are seeing good improvement in the affected areas.
It is our hope that you will reconsider and play Bull run again the future as conditions continue to improve.
Fairways being reseeded; in poor shape as of 9/21/16
I played this course last year (2015) and found it enjoyable with many pluses. However, when I played yesterday I was very disappointed in the condition of the fairways. Specifically some had large patches of bare ground, ground under repair, and tall grass in the fairways--e.g. uncut for some time, I assume because of the reseeding project. Because of the reseeding many fairways were very wet. The entire course was Cart Path Only, which on this course makes playing particularly difficult due to some long walks from the cart path to the fairway. Hopefully the reseeding will go well. For now you may want to check with the course for current conditions.
Thank you for your feedback regarding your experience at Bull Run.
You are correct, as we complete our seeding project to help correct our fairway conditions the areas will be wetter than normal and well fertilized to encourage growth.
We thank you for your support and look forward to seeing you again this fall as conditions continue to improve!
Fairways are dirt
Rhis is one of my favorite courses, but the course is in horrendous shape. I'd reccomed staying away for the remainder of 2016. Hopefully it will recover for 2017
Terrible condition
apparently the weather this summer was too much for the type of grass they use. Normally a well maintained course. It's so bad I don't see it getting better until spring. Hope I'm wrong, I love this course.
Thanks for sharing your experience and the kind words regarding our normal conditions. We expect to see significant improvement in our fairways over the next few weeks with full recovery not long after. We look forward to seeing you as we recover!
