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.

Golfer Reviews
Great course layout
This course is in really great shape and plays long. Greens are in great shape and fast. .Overall ***** stars.................
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.
Good course, wide open, golfer friendly!
Will definitely play here again. Tough to find a course in the area that is this nice, this reasonable and this playable.
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.
Fun, Challenging, Wide Open
This is a very playable course, that does present some challenges even for the better players. Very little if any trouble to get in to from the tees as the course has wide, forgiving fairways. Greens can be tricky to putt. tees and fairways in good condition and the greens were excellent. Full and fast.
great course & friendly staff
great course with great views, wide open fairways-drivers dream course,top 5 golf course in the area.
Beautiful Course, Good Value, Great Condition
I am in the D.C. area on business and asked the advice of some folks on a course to play. Bull Run came up from almost everyone and for good reason. It is a beautiful and fair course, immaculately maintained, even the morning after 1" plus of rain the course was very playable. Greens are pristine. I will definitely play here again on my next visit to D.C. if I can.
Spend your money elsewhere
I have been in the DC area for about a year now. I have played some excellent courses, and I was excited to have an opportunity to play Bull Run after reading some positive reviews about it. I played on sunday, 9/15, and I was disappointed to say the least.
First and foremost, the pace of the round was brutal. I understand that it was a sunday, and that you should expect it to be slow. However, this round barely even crawled by. Waited on almost every tee box. There was a 3 group lineup on the 18th hole. We waited 30 minutes to tee off.
I also thought that the condition of the course was fair at best. I would never pay the 95$ asking price that you tend to find on golfnow. Personally, I paid $69 for my round, and I would never pay that much money again to play this course. I think that the management here really needs to get things headed in the direction of Raspberry - a course that I would play any day of the week.
Best place to play in Northern VA
With the rolling hills, undulating greens, and picturesque views, Bull Run offers a unique golf experience one might expect to find at the most exclusive private clubs. The staff is friendly, courteous, and committed to providing the customer with the best possible golf experience.
Great Course - Fast play - Terrible Bunkers
Overall, the course was in great condition. Tee boxes were is great shape, the fairways were very good, and the greens ran 9 or 10, with no bare spots. The only complaint that I have, was the bunkers. They were terrible. I know you aren't supposed to be in the bunkers, but still, it was almost unacceptable. They were dirt, and some had baseball-sized rocks on the surface. That being said, everything else was fantastic. We played in 4 hours, no issues with groups ahead or behind. We had an excellent breakfast sandwich at the turn. The staff was very friendly.
