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.

I love this course!!!
I have played this course a few times now and absolutely love it! I could play the 18th hole all day and it would never get old. This course is in my top 5 in NOVA for sure.
Course is in great shape!
Bull run is looking as good as i have ever seen it. I play out there usually 3 -5 times a month. Pace of play was good only because we skipped holes 4-7 and then came back around and finished them after we played the back 9. My playing partner and I are good and finished our round in 2hrs and 40 min. But if we didn't skip those holes, we were probably looking at a 5 hr round thanks to a couple slow foursomes.
The overall course condition is fantastic! Fairways and greens look amazing. However, the tee boxes are a little shabby because they use a different type of grass than the rest of the course.
now this is "white-shoes" golf
Like Twin Lakes on energy-drinks.
Definitely a bluebloods' course, great grass, good greens, not too tricky or slow, and wide-open holes, for the most part. No blind shots. The courses' "defense" is a fair amount of water and waste-areas. Doesn't require a big stick but won't tolerate duffers very well. A good place to bring people to impress.
I wouldn't say it's the best in the area, but it's not bad, definitely. One of the better *courses* that I've played, but not one of the more difficult. Only the 18th was anything resembling a real challenge. The rest were classic technicians' holes. If you can hit and putt reasonably-well, you'll do fine. I'd say that this course is a good for players who enjoy a mildly-challenging round on a course that is not too flat or straight and does require some decent carries, and it's a good place to play for someone who wants to bring out their friends and family and have them experience "golf", and you'll enjoy the grass, scenery and amenities along the way.
Outing after deluge
We got to play after a significant rain storm. The bunkers were filled with standing water, and the sides were washed out. I cannot fault Bull Run for this, as we had just gotten a few inches of rain. I would certainly play this course again, and thing the facility was very nice. It was also cart path only, so decently placed shots were met with average to long walks.
The driving range was also closed, but they said it was due to the grass being cut, so we did not get to warm up before our round.
Some of the (what appear to be older) tee boxes were not in play, but not in good condition either.
Great
This course was in great shape aside from some bunkers. A few bunkers I noticed had little sand in them but others were okay.
Bull Run continues to improve
been playing this course for 10 yrs best shape ever
Great way to start Memorial Holiday
Staff was friendly and helpful Course was in great shape
Excellent course!
I teed off in the early morning and the staff there was extremely welcoming and polite. Most of the golfers in the morning seemed like regulars and the older gentlemen all knew each other like family.
The course was in stellar condition and the layout is very nice too with a mixture of looks. It was fairly challenging and long from the tips. The greens were faster than expected considering the early morning moisture, which was nice to see.
Our threesome got around the course in about 3hrs 30min.
It quickly became one of my favorite courses in the northern VA area. I will definitely be back!
Beautiful scenery!
Had been wanting to play this course for quite some time and I found a deal on Golfnow for $42--a steal for a course of this quality. I'm an intermediate player and the set up is very forgiving, no dumping tons of balls into the drink on this course. I particularly want to comment on the professionalism and the friendliness of the staff, especially the gentleman that was the starter for my round. Can't wait to go back!
Great shape and extremely friendly service
Second time play BR overall and first this year. The course has really shaped up and is in excellent condition (understandable exception with bunkers due to 4 inch down-power 4 days prior. Greens were rolling great and true. Staff was extremely friendly from the time I pulled the bag out of the trunk until the time I put them back in. Putting BR in my steady rotation!
This golf course has a great view
I like the way the course is set up. It play some what challenge.
Perfect
Twilight time in June finishing right before dark. Simply beautiful course cut out of an awesome piece of land . Great condition and what I really liked about the course was the variety in the holes. Pace of play was good and excellent value with twilight rate.
Great Layout
plush, excellent condition
great layout
fun to play
challenging but can be beaten
course was in descent condition
The course is usually in good condition but this time there fairways were over grown. The rough was to thick and high. There were a lot of standing water in the bunkers.
The staff were very friendly except for the starter. There wasn't anyone teeing off after me for 20 min. He wouldn't let me start 10 minutes later.
great....
Play before days too many many raining. ...
But next day condition very very nice...
Great course for the price
Was a great course for the golf now price of $38. Course was in good condition with very true, fast greens. Course is advertised as wide open, but the rough is penal and their are some challenging holes. Pace of play was good and there was a very good chipping and putting area for a good warm-up. I was a little disappointed that the grass range was not available. Overall a very good course.
Beautiful course
Enjoyed playing the course for the first time. Has some great holes and was challenging yet still could shoot a great score.
Very nice greens
This course is in great shape and seems to be one of very few courses in the area where the greens are not full of airation holes and sand. Fun course to play but if it's your first time out its hard to see the shape if the hole from the tee box on a few of the holes. Overall a great course to play and the Marshal comes out and reminds people to keep the pace of play. I wish more courses would do this. I am sure we will be back for another round.
Firm & Fast
Bull Run is one of my favorites. They continue to rebound handily from the lost years (2008-2010?), and the layout will always be one of the best for those looking for a fair scoring opportunity in the 6500 yard range.
They seem to have a renewed emphasis on keeping the fairways and greens firm & fast, which seems to be more rare now days.
I look forward to golfing here year round, and target this course specifically when the temperature gets near 100° as the cross breezes make it bearable.
