Rating 73.1

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.

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.

Great course and layout

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.

Bull Run Golf Course

Very nice course, very good layout. Pace was slower than I would have liked. I believe it is very expensive at $97.00. If the price was more reasonable this would be one of my favorite courses.

dissapointed

You pay full price for a product you expect to get what you pay for. Not what happened the last 3 times we played here. Tee boxes on many holes moved up or in bad shape, fairway traps with no sand just dirt, all other traps crusty like grounds crew never grooms them. Nice place but more attention to details like those mentioned would be great. As for pace of play, took 5 hours to play yesterday at 10:30 tee time on a Wednesday and not 1 marshal found all day to help speed up the slow groups

Good course, slow play

Everything about Bull Run was great, except pace of play. By the 5th hole a phone call the pro shop was made to have the marshal come out and move things along. We didn't see the marshal until the 14th.

I would not expect to play a 5+ hour round on any championship course with a 9AM tee time.

Play at your own risk.

Bull Run Golf Club - Great Day of Golf

Our foursome truly enjoyed our round. We played 18 in 3 hours and 15 minutes. The course was in excellent shape and the greens ran true. We have played the course a few times this season and have been very pleased with the course condition, staff and speed of play.

Great experience

Course staff was friendly, courteous, professional. Course was in great shape. Food arrival was a little slow at the end of the round, but there was a wedding being prepared for at the same time. Food was delicious.

Great course, expensive if you don't catch a deal

I've played this course several times and I love the course. The only complaint I have is that it can be a little pricey unless you catch a deal. The staff is always very friendly, and the course is usually is pretty good shape. The driving range is also excellent. I will play this course again.

Great Course

Really Enjoy the course, no complaints there, with the only exception being the 3 group backup on the 18th hole - tough to sit and wait through that.

Main gripe is getting hit with $4+ on a "$49" rate on GolfNow. Need to fix that, show the actual out the door price as the rate.

This is not your old Bull Run golf course

I played this course when it first opened and a couple of time a year every year since.
The course was originally really nice then it went downhill and got a reputation as being in horrible shape. But, with the new owner/management the course is back! It was in really nice shape and the practice facility, pace of play, etc. were excellent.
Give it another shot and you won't be disappointed.
