Bull Run Golf Club

Play here. The course was in great condition and pretty well maintained.

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.

Good pace of play. Greens rolling nicely. Minor quibble, but some of the tee boxes need work.

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

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.

Excellent,.
Better than excellent
What a great price with TEE TIMES...
Certainly makes an upscale course VERY affordable!!

This is my favourite course in the area for all the main reasons, condition, layout, the service, the pace of play. I'm willing to travel out to play this. My only problem is that my best day playing is Monday (morning) and they have taken to closing the range. I really can't play without warming up properly, and it never used to be this way. I use to play every Monday. This last week I phoned ahead and they said it would be open, when I" got there it was closed. Hence I was all over the place for the first 4 holes :-( But the course was excellent .

This course is under construction making very loud noisy around whole courses, which get us on our nerves. So 52 dollars is a quite expensive.
Do not go there for the time being until the construction done.

Course in great condition. Not wait time - though played earlier. Food like usually double to triple the price. Overall will play again and again

Golf course was in great condition, staff was very friendly, pace of play no problems , played nine holes and the rains came, they gave us a credit for half of our greens fee for future use. I will come and play this course again.

Very nice golf course and long and wide, but green can be little faster.

Have always loved the layout of this course and used to play it a lot (even a couple of Solstice Survial events). It went down hill several years back. After being taking over by Raspberry Falls Group a few years ago I was hoping to see this course achieve it's former excellance. Early indications (over the last couple of seasons) were that they were on the right track. Overall conditions of the course were on the upswing. Fast forward to today...they are back on the downhill slide. Generally, weather this summer has been great and even the munis are in good to excellant shape. Not Bull Run. The range only had 10 hitting areas that were set up and we had to wait for people to clear before we could warm up. Since the 10 areas were always full they wore down quickly and there was more dirt than grass. Hitting off mats would have been better. Teed off on time and the starter (as usual) was very friendly. Sadly, after the first hole we started encountering chewed up, uneven and unmowed tee boxes. Ball washers with no towels (if there was one on the hole at all). Fairways with many bare spots. Bunkers with standing water and little to no sand. Greens that were bumpy and diseased. In addition, the entire course was soaked....yet the area hasn't had any significant rain for over a week. The course should have been firm and fast. I used to love this course but it has really gone down hill (again). Even with the GolfNow price of $79 this is not a good value. Our group will not be returning to Bull Run.

it had been a while since I had last played bull run because the course had been allowed to deteriorate over the previous several seasons. I heard it was under new management, and decided to give it a try. we were very pleased with conditions. it reminded me of bull run in the good old days. wouldn't hesitate to plan future excursions there at all. ps, it must have rain 2 inches after 6 holes. we waited it out, and except for the bunkers, the course drained very well.

Aces on the course, the staff, and Golf Now - our 4some had a great time.

Bull Run continues to be a great, fun, and challenging course. Good for intermediate through advanced golfer. My son played the blue tee's and I played the whotes. During the round we picked up 2 other golfers to make a foursome.

I was impressed with the condition of the course given that it is mid August. Several other local courses are in poor shape, but Bull Run was in very good shape. Only the rough was distressed. Fairways, greens, and tee's were very good.

I hope you enjoy Bull Run as much as I did

I recently planned a small golf outing for a group of my coworkers. After some research I ultimately selected Bull Run for a few reasons...
1) Excellent practice facility: Unlimited range balls included in Golfnow fee, nice pitch/chip area with a couple of bunkers, and a huge, very well maintained putting surface.
2) Course rating: I was playing with a group of intermediate to advanced golfers (10-15 handicaps) so I was looking for a place that would be challenging, but wouldn't cause anyone to do anything that they would regret in front of their coworkers (throw a club, loose all their balls on the front 9...).
3) Cost: Unfortunately, this was not a company sponsored event, and as a result, I wanted to try and avoid a big price tag that would discourage people from participating in the event.

I can say wholeheartedly that I made a great choice. The course was in great condition. I would have said excellent if not for some pretty rough fairway and green side bunkers. However, one of the greens keepers told us that they were going to be redoing all of the bunkers in the Fall of 2014. The course offers 5 sets of tees which impact not only the total distance, but the playing angles as well. We played 36 holes, 18 from the tips (black) and 18 from the one forward (blue). The second 18 felt like I was playing a completely different course. As a result of the magnitude of strategically placed fairway bunkers, both sets of tees presented unique challenges while still remaining relatively playable. This course is located a little further out (from DC) than several of their most comparable competitors. However, it is definitely worth the drive. I will certainly play Bull Run again, and have recommended it to others without hesitation.

Bull Run golf course is a great place to play if you like links golf. Some holes are in the trees but what do you expect in the foot hills of the Shenandoah mts.

Not worth full price, as conditions were average at best. Rough was bare in many places, greens inconsistent rocks in sand traps. Turned on sprinklers on number 9 on a Saturday mid day. Can't imagine there is not a better time to do this!

No sandwiches made at turn forced to eat an average hot dog in order to keep things moving. Never saw a ranger all day

Only play if you get a Golf Now deal!

My golfing partner and I really enjoyed this course. The course was in great condition and was quite challenging. The pace of play was a bit slow (Friday morning), but aside from that it was a very fun and interesting course. The fees could have been a bit lower, but overall a great outing !

The course was in great shape played very well even for a beginner and great ,friendly staff. Was paired with another group had a great time. some very challenging holes but fun, would recommoend to anybody of any level to play. Looking foward to playing there again.
