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.

good layout, great condition
It was cold, mid 30's. so it wasn't crowded. We both liked the layout. scenery, and excellent course condition. Staff was very friendly. Even though we live over an hour away, we will make the trip again.
Great layout
Challenge yourself
No blind shots
Great shape
Go once and you'll be back
Courtesy driving, chipping and putting before the round
Playing golf in December !
Course was packed with players taking advantage of the nice weather. Staff seemed annoyed that so many people were there....
Bull Run
great day to play golf! The course was in great shape and the pace of play was excellent.
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.
Spectacular golf course
This course is always worth the money and drive. Challenging and beautiful golf course.
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.
Nice golf experience
the course is in excellent shape except for a lot of junk on some of the greens (leafs and seeds)
Great course and staff
The course was in beautiful shape and was set up quite well. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Great time was had.
Excellent Course
Always excited to come play Bull Run. Challenging, great condition, scenic, nice clubhouse, good people, what else do you want?
What a wonderful course!
I really enjoyed playing golf at the course. It was nice weather and great course.
I will definitely play again asap!
Great
Great course
Challenging enough for intermediate but not too difficult
Only if it was a little closer..
Fair Course, Avoid the Long Grass
Growing up in the DC area, Bull Run has always been one of my favorites. There are some very challenging holes and a handful of shorter, easy holes to even things out. Number 8 is a drivable par 4 if the wind and tee boxes are in the right spots. If you keep it in the fairway, 8 is one of the scorable holes on this course. Number 9, on the other hand, is a super long par-4 with water to carry on the tee shot and water up the right all the way to the green. I'm happy if I take a bogey on 9. The course is always in good shape and it is located out in the country so it has a peaceful feeling about it. Several holes can be penalizing if you end up in the long grass, so be careful of that. The employees are very friendly and the facilities are great for a public course.
relaxing and challenging course
One of my favorite course in N. VA. This course has wide fairway but not easy to make low score. Nice combination of long and short par 4 holes and some challenging holes across water 9th, 13th and 18th hole. Staffs and club house are nice and food is always better than average. Strongly recommended course with relaxing and challenging.
No Marshall anywhere.
No Marshall anywhere.
Pace of play seriously slow.
All things perfect !!
Great customer service, starter was organized and extremely helpful and friendly w/ good advise. Cart service very good. Most importantly, course was in great shape !!!
Gorgeous and moderately challenging course
Bull Run is a very pretty course in the rolling hills of the eastern Shenandoah Valley. Great customer service, excellent range and practice facilities and very uncrowded weekdays. I last played there on a Saturday at twilight and it was delightful.
Challenging Course!
Senior Player and found the White Tees at 6200 yds a good challenge. Greens and fairways were excellent. Recommend publication of an online yardage book.
This course needs better marshalling
This is my favorite course in the Northern VA area and being a part of Raspberry Golf has improved the course conditions. On the other hand, I was disappointed with the pace of play particularly on the back nine. The back nine took 3 hours for a total of a 5 hour round. This is unreasonable.
Very Enjoyable Course, But Subpar Conditioning
I second the comments by aussiegolfer66 regarding the conditioning. There is a significant amount of crab grass in the fringe and near the greens on many holes. I didn't notice the bare spots, but the crab grass has got to go!
Otherwise, the greens are in good shape and are somewhat quick. An enjoyable course that just needs a little TLC.
