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.

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.

Excellent Course for the Money

Bull Run is being kept up very nicely by the new ownership. The proshop and starter were very professional and kept things moving. Course was in great condition, especially the greens. Had a wonderful time on the course.

Disappointed

I try to play Bull Run once aweek. For the most it's a great course. Staff is excellent and course is in fantastic shape. This time I was disappointed with the condition of putting greens. It was bumpy not like bull run I've always played. My wife and I did not enjoy our round of golf at all.

5.5 hour round...

Great course. They really need to do something about the pace of play. Well over 5 hours makes the round unenjoyable and for the price this shouldn't be an issue. Maybe some rangers stationed around the course, similar to what Blue Mash does?

Great Layout

Really enjoyed playing during the week. Had great weather and the course was in excellent shape. Only issue was the greens because of aeration. Pace of play was good and fairways where nice and rough manageable. Overall a great experience.

Among the best public courses

Overall the course is in great shape. The greens had just been aerated so not much to be said about that but my one gripe was the condition and location of the tee boxes which seemed poor given the time of the year but that might be due to the bermuda grass which has yet to wake up. Bottom line this is a fun course that never seems overly crowded due to it's location.

Great value

The course conditions were not yet at a level that I'm sure they expect. The greens were recently punched and some of the bunkers are in the middle of being redone with new sand. Fantastic layout and everyone on their staff were very friendly. Great pace of play.
