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.

Dissapointing

The greens weren't scabby but there were patches off the fringe under repair and overgrown patches of crabgrass between the fairway and green making the Texas Wedge impossible at times.

If you're long, you'll love it - it's plenty long from the championship tees. The fairways are average at best. I'd wait a few months and read another review or two.

Great course

Great course! Layout is fun and challenging. Grass was a little rough, but it's kind of expected after the rough/hot summer we have had. But it was a great day and a lot of fun.

Slow play. Heat problems

5+ hours pace of play and no "player's assistant " to move things along. Course had problems with the heat, more than I was led to believe. Patchwork being done in some areas. Greens are in good shape though. Nice layout and staff friendly and helpful.

Course was in bad shape.

Course was disappointing with choppy greens, burnt out fairways, and large sections of sod removed. Green speeds were inconsistent, making putting difficult.

Course in bad condition

I usually love this course. However the fairways were in awful shape and greens not much better. Course held a lot of water from days before rain.

Great layout, course needs attention

The conditions of this course have varied over the last few years. Yesterday I was surprised by how many areas were brown or needed maintenance. Golfers need to do a better job fixing ball marks on greens, but course maintenance also has room for improvement. Overall good value at $30-40 on a weekday but I would be upset paying the $90-100 greens fees on a weekend

Fun Time

Great course, the starter gets you ready to go by giving you a great explanation of the course. Must be confident in all shot selection especially going after the pin. The greens putted great. Will play again.

Rough shape

We tee'd off at 4 and finished up at a quarter to 9 but only because we skipped 16 and 17. The pace of play was brutal and we never saw a Marshal. The grass was dead in many areas of the fairway and around the greens especially. For $30 I would say we got our money's worth but I would not pay anything more than that to play this course. I've played Bull Run many times in the past and this is by far the worst condition a that I've seen it.

Fun time on course

Course is generally in good condition, but recent long hot weather spell has taken its toll. Pro shop and food staffs were friendly and courteous. Pace of play slowed at end but quick enough during most of late afternoon round.

Maintenance was poor

Given the summer high heat many of the fairways were suffering with brown grass spots. The fringes on many of the greens were loaded with crabgrass. We often had to move the ball so you were not putting though the crabgrass. The layout was nice. Many of the holes you may have seen at other courses. All in all the value for the greens fees ($47) was good. A very fair course. No blind shots. The 18 th hole from the whites was difficult. With a decent drive of 220 years you have a down hill lie to carry water for 200 yards. It is a par five so you have some option to layout with a wedge and then a hybrid over water to the green. Good luck. Do not misjudge your layout or you wind up in the weeds and water. I'd play again but in the show shoulder seasons.

Course review

Fairways ok. Greens in very good shape. Very lovely woods setting. It's not country club quality, but It is vastly improved since I last played it three or four years ago.

Meets expectations

Have played Bull Run several times through the years. Good prep work for a Sat round.Pace was 5 hours which is expected on a public track in the metro area.

Love the layout. Challenging for many levels of golf.

The course conditions were a bit wanting however. We've lacked rain lately but some spots were flat barren, reflecting months of neglect. Friendly staff and starter.

PS. BUll Run has some wicked-looking hornets the size of a human finger on several holes. Very ominous. They need to eliminate that threat.

Good experience

I'd seen mixed reviews of conditions at Bull Run. In my first ever visit I found it in very good condition relative to other public courses. Not private club standard by any stretch but quite good. Greens had been rececently cut so were quick. Tee boxes were fine. From Blues the course is quite challenging. Laid out very nicely with no side by side fairways. Drinking water at several spots (though should be closer to tees) plus drinks cart making the rounds. Groups in front of us were very slow but the ranger got them to speed up, a move that seems to be very rare these days and was greatly appreciated.

I used a golf now special--just $30 including cart and free use of range. That made it an extrely good value and I will happily return.

Beautiful piece of land and layout, needs TLC

Very playable layout with great natural views. Friendly and helpful staff with range included in price. A couple of forced and difficult carries for the inexperienced player. A few traps with nothing but raked dirt and small rocks. This was odd because most of the traps had a great soft white sand and were very nice. I gouged a dent in a 7 iron in one of the bad traps and stayed out thereafter. Avoid playing from these. Otherwise a very nice day of golf on a relatively empty course.
