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.

Best value near DC.

it was raining, everything was soaked, however the greens were still extremley fast, rough was true rough, not patchy at all.. Course is in incredible shape, greens roll true. I like that you can see from the tee box where you need to land in the fairway. Not many blind shots.

Little gem!!!!

After spending a lot of time looking for a good course to play around Washington DC, I found this course. the weather was decent, there weren't a lot of people on the course when I tee'd off.

The fairways were is extremely good shape, even with the recent rain in the area, the balls were not plugging. the rough was pretty long, so does affect your shots.

The greens were in OK shape, I guess they need time recovering from recent aeration.

Overall a great experience, played with a local gentleman who helped me navigate this course. if I am local guy living here, wouldn't hesitate to make this my home course in a heartbeat.

great layout

Fairways were neatly mowed, greens still show small holes from recent aeration. Rough tall and thick. Worth the discounted golf now rate but no way at the normal rate. They had a frost delay in the morning so my 2:06 ttime became 2:44. About 10 min wait each hole. . Done 7:40 wished i had known about recent aeration.

Course Condition and Value

Greens had been aerated in past two weeks but that as to be expected.

The tees were zoysia grass and still dormant.

The rough was way to thick for a public course. Not quite long enough for the US Open. They could at least shorten it a bit around the greens to speed up play.

The fairways were excellent.

The 18th is a poorly designed par-5 for short hitters. Cannot layup to 100 yards (middle of a lake). Short hitters (I am 73 years old) who hit the ball 200 yards from the green tees must layup with a 70-yard 2nd shot and then hit their 3rd 140+ yards over the lake to the green. It's an okay challenge for long hitters as they can reach it in two from the back tees if they keep it left. I was told by a member this hole creates slow play. Those who layup must walk downhill to their shots and back as electric carts are forbidden.

Although the green fees through Tee Times were fair, they were exactly the same as green fees for seniors.

Early Season FUN

The day was chilly but not cold. The course was inviting to view; definitely in better shape than my game. I've played Bull Run many times and have never had a bad experience.

Great course conditions especially for December

2nd time playing this course and love the layout. Challenging without beating you up. Greens had been aerated but stilled rolled pretty true (without that it would be 5 rating).
Pro Shop staff are very engaging and helpful.
Just a great course to play.

Beautiful course, but terrible pace of play

Played a round the day after Thanksgiving; sunset was set for about 5:30, so I didn't expect to play a full 18. It was only $42 for the round, which was nice. My issue was not with the course itself, but with the management of pace and the amount of players they allowed out on the course at once.

Immediately upon arrival, they explained that everything was backed up and that they had no carts ready...they shuttled folks to the range and explained that there was a) no chance anyone would be playing 18 today because it was so slow, and b) that they were right on time sending folks off. It was very frustrating, as the started was laughing about how delayed they were as if it were our fault, and they were 45 minutes behind n sending people out. When we pulled up to the starter, there were four foursomes in front of us still to go off, and because it's a relatively short course, you're constantly on top of the folks in front of you.

The weather was beautiful and the folks I was paired up with were great, but it was extremely frustrating to know they had overbooked just to try and get as many folks out there as they could. It slowed down the whole day for people - we only got 9 holes in, after having a 1:20 tee time - we should have been able to get at least 15-16 holes in.
