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.

Great course and friendly staff

This course is very nice and I can see why a lot of my friends like to play there. I can see how playing there a few times can really help your score. I didn't know where the 18 green was and took the high side were if you played there before you would not hit were I did. I had to lay up were my friends went for the green. I can't wait to play it again!!!

Solid course

This course is generally in very good shape. Though they are still battling issues with a t box or fairway or two from the change in ownership a few years ago. But the greens are really nice and consistent. The course is fairly challenging. Beautiful track of land with virtually no homes. I think the prices are bit high -- especially in the off season months. They do a good job trying to keep the pace of play around 4 hours. But generally it is still 4.5 during busy times.
It is my second favorite course to play. Stonewall still holds the title.

Fun Course

The only negative thing I could say about this course is that you are unable to walk. It is both beautiful and cleverly designed. It has a great mix of challenging and forgiving and has one of my favorite finishing holes in the area.

Fantastic experience playing the course!!!!

I travel a lot and play courses all over the US and this course is definitely in my top 10! Beautiful course layout, with some holes more challenging then others. Greens make or break it for me and the greens at bull run were great!!! I think they were running a 10.5 the day I played.

Great play at twilight.

I had been wanting to play Bull Run all summer and it was just to expensive for me. I found a twilight tee time on golf now for 30 bucks and couldn't pass on it. It's hard to believe but I teed off at 4:30 and was able to get in 18 holes before it got dark around 6:45. This is definitely a place I plan to play again.

Worth the drive from Maryland

Played after a very wet weekend so course was cart path only and round took longer than usual. However the layout was nice with a few very scenic holes. Played the back tees but didn't feel like the 6961 yds was a problem. Generous fairways. Good short game practice area.

Great condition despite the recent rains

Overall, course was in great condition despite the recent rains. It was still cart-path only, which was fine since the fairways were obviously soggy as evidenced by no roll on drives and plenty of plugs if hit short. Nonetheless, it was a great round. Only issue was pace of play. Despite the starter saying it was wide open and I would have no issues as a single, there was a foursome that was slowing play down. I started off the back and I wonder if the foursome ignored those directions and started on the front since I hadn't seen them until I made the turn. Nevertheless, there was no marshall to move play along so the round went 4 hrs when I was on pace for 3. Not a major issue but holds me back from giving an excellent rating.

Great track, layout, and scenery of the mountains. Bunkers needed work.

Give the course a 4 overall for its layout, overall conditions, great greens, beautiful course a must play in Northern VA. Was 2 days after heavy rains came through and course was dry except bunkers; some had standing water, some washed out, and some were hard pan. Thought they could've done more to get them ready for play.

Enjoyable and well maintained.

The staff was friendly and attentive and the course was well maintained. Greens were a moderate speed and the layout was quite straightforward for someone playing it for the first time. I would recommend this course to a friend for the experience. Hole 9 and 18 especially were challenging holes. I loved 18 as a finisher because it required excellent golf management, but did not demand perfect shot-making.

Well maintained great layout

Bull Run is a fantastic course. Fairways and greens are in great condition. Everyone at the club was really friendly. Tee off was at 8:00 am and I was home in Arlington by 1:00 NFL kickoff. Pace of play was outstanding

The views make this course a phenomenal deal.

Bull Run is in the shadow of Bull Run Mountain, site of one of the many famous Civil War battles that shaped Northern Virginia. The course is always in pristine condition: fairways trimmed, greens rolled tight and smooth, bunkers free of impediments. It is the best course for the money in Northern Virginia, and a must-play for any golfer. Play the white tips, or blue if you dare. But the black are set back far enough to cause you trouble if you have a double-digit handicap. There is water on about 7-8 holes, including your drive off of #1, and your second - if you dare - into #18.

Blue Ridge Mtns.

After driving past this course for years I finally got a decent price on this web site...pleasantly surprised. Nice layout, scenic, and in very good condition. Staff could not have been more accommodating. When I get another decent price on this site I'll do it again.

11 handicapper here. Course was in great shape, also went to fitting studio and got to try out a 913 driver for the day! Great staff and help!!

Pace of play was slow for a Wednesday noon t time. Lots of senior golfers that slowed pace down but overall a good day. Greens are very nice, some t boxes were getting fixed but in better shape than Westfields was 3 weeks ago for 1/3 the price. Under new ownership and it shows with excellence! Highly recommend.
