Bull Run Golf Club

Bull Run used to be a great course, but this summer and poor maintenance has absolutely killed the FWs. The greens are in decent shape, but pretty much every FW could be marked "ground under repair." Save your money and visit another course until Bull Run can hopefully make a return to its prior glory.

Pace of play was excellent - 7:24 tee time and finished in 3 1/4 hours. The club really strives for good pace of play. The fairways in a lot of spots were brown and soggy. Weeds were plenty. The greens though were in good shape. For the money and not to get tied up behind slow groups this is a good value / course.

Course was in terrible shape for a $90 plus rack rate course. Staff was almost belligerent that course was in such poor shape, asserting summer weather. Burnt out fairways and huge swaths of ground under repair and weeds on greens and washed out bunkers.

Fairways gone due to lack of water. Major repairs around majority of greens. I will not return. Course should be closed due to lack of care and until fairways grow back. Played the course many times and never seen it such need of water and care.

I have played Bull Run many times before this round.. this is the worst condition I ever seen it..usually it is a 4 star course .. I could not recommend it right now

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! 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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Course in good shape. bunkers well maintained. Greens very good.

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.

At start of round starter was very helpful. Everyone in my group had never played course before but he offered us good review of course and gave us good tips

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.
