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.

Marshals.

I recall like the course. People are more than friendly. I especially like the marshals enforcing the pace of play. Wish other courses would adopt this procedures.

A Good Day At Bull Run

My group all enjoyed our round at Bull Run. The staff was very friendly. We got off at the exact time our tee time was for. We played in 4 hours, which was a perfect pace. The course had some damage from lack of rain but the grounds crew were hard at work repairing all affected areas and they made it so it did not have an adverse effect on our round.

Overall it was a great day.

Boo....open the range!

Love the course...hate that the range wasn't open due to cutting schedule. Why not cut the evening after play I'd done for the day? Older players definitely need some swings to get loose. Gone are the days when many of us can hop out of the car and head straight for the first tee. When I complained I was told that they were just following the maintenance schedule. Well....time to change the schedule. Somewhat of an indifferent attitude displayed by pro shop guy too. Hate to be picky but...might not return or will ask about range first.

hidden gem

Enjoyed the course; the layout was fun and challenging. Staff very friendly from the caddy setting up the cart(cleaned my clubs at the end - only experience that in FL), register technician, and the starter. I will be back.

Overpriced

I love this layout--varied, a couple of drivable or at least very short par 4s that are super, non-gimmicky risk-reward, water hazards galore but not cheap shots; forced carries but mainly of the psychological kind. It's a brilliant design for a public course.The problem, for years, is that at around $95 a round it is way too expensive for the conditions here. The bunkers are jokes--the first one I was in (on the first hole sad to say) had the usual dirt plus fine gravel, for crying out loud--and the rest of them were no better than the $65 tracks around here. More dirt than anything else. I'm willing to put up with that at say Goose Creek in Leesburg or Brambleton in Ashburn, but not here. Several greens had ground under repair around the edges, plus bad wasp-nest problems; multiple tee boxes were raggedy, and the fairways were okay but, again, not at the level you can get around here for that kind of money. It's a pity.

The people were great, the food was terrific at the 19th hole, and people seem to enjoy holding marriage receptions or even weddings here.

Immaculate

This is the second time my son and I have played the course and it was again in immaculate condition. This is clearly one of the best daily fee courses in the area with several risk/reward holes that always make for a fun round. Great conditions, great layout and the staff is very friendly. Also, the restaurant is worth a stop.

Bull Run play it it's a must

It sits on the base of Bull Run Mountain. The course uses it's terrain. Elevated tee boxes down hill fairways and undulating greens. The greens were in great shape and the fairways were good. There were some thin spots around the green from time to time. I love this course fair but get greedy it can bite you.

Bull Run Saturday Evening

By far my favorite course in the area. I've played here early Saturday, evening and mid-week and the staff are always friendly. There are a few water hazards, but no risk to a novice golfer.

An Area Must Play

I was pleasantly surprised at the excellent quality of the course. Great layout with enough challenge for anyone from the back tees. I was particularly impressed with the visual beauty of the individual holes, particularly with the backdrop of the Bull Run mountains and the many water features. Greens were perfect, fairway lush….making this a top-ten VA-MD-DC venue. Worth the extra drive. Play this course!

Great Course

Shot the round of my life so I am a little biased but the weather was perfect and the course was in great shape. Greens rolled true with good speed. Fairways and bunkers were in great shape. Only compliant was driving range was a little beat up and a few tee boxes were chewed up but overall the course was enjoyable and the staff were very friendly.

A nice track - play it for sure

Played here many times in the past but not since Raspberry Mgmt took it over.

Course was in great condition except for the bunkers which need to be re-sanded. Thankfully they have gotten rid of the cicada killers.

Looking forward to playing again.

Great Conditions

Teed off at 7:30 and was done at 12:30, course was in excellent shape. It would be much different if you were playing from the black tees because many of those tee boxes were under repair. That is my only concern with the course. Other than that I always enjoy playing

Good course!

Very friendly staffs!! They even had a wedding going on but the staff managed the traffic very friendly. Issue we had was that there was a private lesson going on ahead us and they dragged the play too much any Marshall did not adjust their playing time even he was presented twice.

Well maintained. Fair, yet challenging. Given the numerous bunkers, they could use a refill on sand. Otherwise, good course./staff.

well maintained, excellent value

We've played here twice now, but will certainly play many more rounds in the future. This is an excellent golf course, with a great staff, that's in top notch condition. The fairways are wide for the most part, so keeping it in play is pretty straightforward. I like the course layout and love the fact that it's tucked into a beautiful wilderness setting.
