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 course for the money

The parking lot and walk to the pro shop is very nice, sidewalks and nicely landscaped. Casual grill room. The course was in good shape, considering all the play it gets. And it gets a lot of play because of its straight forward layout. Good course, played in about 4 hours 15 minutes. I'd play it again if I ever come come back to the area

Great condition

course was in great shape, customer service was fantastic. Slow day with slow players however the ranger continuously checked in and on 16 tee he stopped by with a 2 for one pass for next round. Really unexpected and quite a great move. Bravo

Decent Course

A bit of a misty day following rain overnight, but the course was still in decent condition with nice layout. Only my second time at Bull Run, so didn't know Thursdays are range maintenance days = no warm up on the range before the round. Sort of disappointed in the staff who seemed a little preoccupied conversing with those who seemed to be "regulars" at the course. Which in itself isn't bad, but we didn't get much of a welcome or starting instructions, felt sort of brushed aside.

Fair test of golf

First time playing the course, everything is right in front of you. Greens were soft and a little slow but in very good shape. Rough was a little thin in areas but it is also late July in the area. The maintenance staff was out working on edging traps and were courteous. I will play it again.

Condition of course is much improved

I have played Bull Run 10s of times over the last 20 years. The new course manager has got the greens in excellent shape, albeit a little slower than I would like, and there are many places cut back to regular length rough that used to be waist high grass, which should improve the pace of play. I have always loved the layout. You don't see anything but golf course and woods on 75% of the holes, a true rarity in the Washington DC suburbs. There is a gas station just to the north of the entrance to the club across from the fire station that has the best home grown tomatoes you will ever eat.

Great Value

We played on a Sunday afternoon and had a great time! Staff was engaged and friendly. Course was in very good condition. I'm a little concerned about the ground hornets in some greens. Didn't see any hornets but their homes were on the greens.

Flexibity through GolfNow allowed us to chose a good time at a great price. Can't wait to play again.

Beautiful Fair Course

Pretty and interesting layout, but wide open fairways with plenty of bail out in the rough. Greens were a little slow, but overall in great shape and a very pleasant round. No problems with pace of play on Sunday afternoon....Got a great rate with GN so it was a good deal.

This is a Great Track.

It was a last minute decision to head out to Bull Run and play. Had never been here before and saved myself about 30 bucks by booking online. The staff were very friendly, and helpful. The practice and warm up facilities are really very good. Highly recommend you show up early to take advantage of it. The starter was great and full of very useful intel. The course was really great. I was surprised how nice it was. We got out there early so the course had some moisture, so the greens were rolling slow. That changed after they dried up. Then they were rolling fast and true. Hole number 18 is all you can handle, and you have to be smart if you want even the slightest chance for a birdie.
I will definitely be back to this course for more, and you should give it a try without hesitation.

Bull Run

Course was in great shape from the tee box to the greens. Great pace of play. Took my group just a little under four hours to complete our round with several groups in front of us. All facilities are in great shape and the staff was frendly and helpful. I would highly recommend Bull Run Golf course to anyone who is looking for a great round of golf.

Hidden Gem in NOVA exurbs!

Spectacular views, beautiful country club setting, and magnificent golf course to match. Course layout will challenge your game and give you a chance to practice/make practically every kind of shot. Do bring a few extra balls...

Great condition. Nice staff

Course was in great shape and pace of play was decent for golf in the area.

I went out as a single and found some great guys to play with.

The marshals want you to enjoy the round so they pay attention to the pace.

This has become my go to course as I live in the South Riding area.

Nice Course

Pace of play was sort of slow, but not enough to make me not come back. I played the best round of my life and I have been playing golf for 25 years. The course is long, but not a ton of trouble. I look forward to coming back there.

Great course, slow play

It's a wonderful course and is in wonderful shape. I spray the ball around so I like the wideness of most of the holes.

The downside was the pace of play. The front nine took three hours, the back up to just over two. It was busy, but the starter could have done more to facilitate the pace.

Love the layout of this course. It was cart path only and rightfully so, but it took over 5hrs and 10 minutes which is annoying, but great course!

Very nice, fun course

Second time playing Bull Run. The fairways were cut tight, greens were perfect. Lots of rain kept us on cart paths which is tough on this course if you don't hit every shot straight. Course was very fair, rewarding good shots and penalizing poor ones. Had my share of both. Staff is very professional and attentive. One of the best public courses in the area in that regard. Pace of play was great, never had to wait to tee off on a Saturday afternoon.
