Bull Run Golf Club
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.

Bull Run
Excellent outing. Professional staff. January Golf is great.
Overall good
This course received 4 out of 5 stars only because of the guy working in the pro shop. Would of received 5 but staff in pro shop seems to think people who use golfnow are on lower tier and was very rude.
Other than that loved the course. Was really slow, teed off 45 minutes after tee time, but greens were true and course was layes out well. All par 3's tee box's were closed, making them all 115 yards.
Some sand on greens causing inconstancy but shot an 83 so really can't complain. Wide fairways and only handful of holes had water. Would definitely play again but with a GN deal, wouldn't pay $100
Fun Course
This was my first time playing this course. Open but challenging with some water, particularly on the challenging finishing hole. Looking forward to playing it again in the Spring when the weather is nicer.
great in good weather
The course seems to have a drainage problem. A day following rain left it soaked therefore cart path only. No marshals to keep players moving - frustrating.
Great layout.
Tee boxes, fairways and greens were super. Were working on most of the traps and bunkers with new bases and sand. All ball cleaners had soapy water and good towels. Some other courses need to invest in soap and water and buy and fill their washers. What's so hard about that???? Super course all around.
Awesome Autumn Day
Great round with plenty of challenging golf! Must play!
Wish I had known about non green aeration
Needed to lift and clean due to fairways being aerated. Other than that, great conditions. Greens were pure
Good course but under repair
I've played this course quite a few times in the past and have always liked the layout. Condition has been iffy at times but pretty good under the currentt ownership. This time however they were renovating bunkers throughout the course and plugging the fairways on the front nine all the while allowing play to continue. Front nine conditions were deplorable with several fairways and a lot of the rough covered with plugs. We also had to put up with noisy trucks and equipment shuttling back and forth while we were playing (or trying to play!) and most bunkers out of play, marked as ground under repair.
I fully understand course maintenance and renovation has to take place but we were never advised of front nine conditions and told only about the bunkers. I feel a course owes it to its players to advise of adverse conditions beforehand or make some concession in green fees.
Great golf experience
Firstly, the staff here is super friendly. From the gentleman who greeted us with our cart upon arrival, to the check-in at the pro shop, to the rangers on the course, to the cart girl, everyone was super friendly and helpful. Made for a very enjoyable experience. The course itself was in awesome condition, especially for late October. The greens were fantastic and true, fairways were well maintained too. Getting to use the driving range as part of the greens fee was a nice bonus as well. Overall we had a great experience, and would certainly return.
Bull Run on a fall day
We golfed here once in the spring and thought it would be great in the fall. We weren't disappointed. The colors were beautiful and the course was in great shape. Excellent greens, albeit a little fast. Would definitely play here again.
Great Place to Tee it up..
Bull Run is always in great shape.. Pace of play always seems to be good.. Service and hospitality is great.. Awesome practice area.
Great Course
Got a deal to play the course, first time there. If the course was not so wet from rain the night before I would give it a 5 star rating. Great time would recommend.
Another golf afternoon in paradise.
We thoroughly enjoyed our round. The starter told us that 2:15 was the point to reach on the front nine. We made it around in about 1:50. It helps when there is no group ahead of you for about 4 holes. We kept up the pace on the back nine and were done in about 3.5 hours. The course was in great shape - great fairways (if you hit them) and fast greens. We will definitely come back out before it gets too cold.
Nice course. Great condition.
Play here. The course was in great condition and pretty well maintained.
Great Conditions in October
Played 18 holes as a twilight tee time of 3pm. Fantastic weather and it had rained the night prior. Fairways and Greens are in excellent condition. Even long irons sticking on greens from 200 out. Rough was cut pretty high keeping the ball near the fairway if you strayed. The course layout is somewhat forgiving with wide fairways and accessable green fronts but has several "signature type holes" that have great views. There is quite a bit of water but it does not play too much of a factor. Traps and other hazards were in great condition. We ran into a little slow down from a foursome who were holding up about 3 groups so no chance to play through. WHole round took under 4 hours even with waits on the back nine holes. Booked tee times through Golfnow for $37, well worth the price.
Nice day
Course in exellent condition as always some fariway damage in low lying areas but overall good. Greens in good condition and playing guick. Only negative my cart died by the 4th hole nursed it to 6th then called clubhouse and they brought me a new one right away
Love the course
Had a good day of golf, always enjoy returning to Bull Run GC. Course was in very good condition, including the greens. Staff was extremely friendly and eager to provide assistance from arrival until departure. The only area lacking at all was the beverage cart service. Non-existent during our round. 0758 tee time, and never saw the cart, except on the turn ~1000 when it was parked outside the clubhouse and again coming off #18. Even then she appeared to be going "with" the flow (from starting hole forward) instead of against the flow (from hole #18 towards #1). I'd chock it up to an isolated incident, but it's happened 2 out of the last 3 times I've played there. Fix this issue and it'd be 5 stars across the board.
