Bull Run Golf Club

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 with great views, wide open fairways-drivers dream course,top 5 golf course in the area.

Course condition was excellent, greens were very fast

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.

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.

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.

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.

Don't go to this place, if you think customer service is their top priority. Very rude front desk. Water jugs not filled. Driving range, which is supposed to be free, doesn't have balls at the range to be hit. You have to go back to the pro shop, which is a 2 minute ride on your cart, to inform them. They don't seem to care. Also, don't bother to ask for a rate for a re-play....they just want to charge you the same...even when the course is empty. I won't go back. The pro shop staff is very rude. They don't act like they need the business, so my crew won't be returning.

overall a nice place to play a little on the expensive. Greens were punched a month ago and roll well. If you are looking for a grip it and rip it place to play with the chance to shoot low this is the place. Nicer to play in the evening for pace of play and beautiful views of the mountain. Changing leaves were a nice touch.

Played Labor Day, took 5 hours because a slow foursome was ahead and always looking for balls. No marshall around to speed things up. Course was in good condition and greens in good shape. Got a good deal on GolfNow for one golfer and jumped in with a threesome. Worked out well, the rough can get high andt it can be difficult to get out if you miss fairways. White tees played closer that day than usual. This helped on #4 hole where there is normaly a bit of carry distance to get through.

Very open, if you miss it is still playable. Super nice cart path, very nice set up. I definitly will be playing here again. I do not think it is $99 dollars good, but the golf now discount definitly makes it worth playing. The 18 hole is a great way to finnish up a round.

I have played Bull Run several times this year and a couple of times a year the last several years. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Maybe it has something to do with their affiliation with Raspberry Trail group. I have played a couple of the other courses in the group and found the staff to be terrific. While there was some grass issues in the fairways overall the course is maintained very well.

Sunday afternoon round, so no comment on pace of play. Course was well maintained. Fairways somewhere between average and soft. Very nice practice areas and complimentary range. I will play it again.

It's one of the nice courses in the DC area. Green is fast and challenging enough to be fun. However, the condition of grass is getting worse each time I play there and I don't see any sign of fixing the issue. Also the paying time per hole is increasing with no sign of ranger time to time. I didn't mind paying full fee before but these days it's not worth the full fee due to the poor condition and slow play.

A bit of a hike from inside the beltway, but well worth the drive. My favorite part of this course is probably the fact that you see maybe 1-2 houses through the entire round. Can't stand playing through neighborhoods as you often do at DC/NOVA courses, so this is a welcome change from the norm. Course was in pretty good shape considering the amount of rain recently (though they appear to be having trouble with some type of wasp that's burrowing into a handful of the greens#. Fairways are quite forgiving/fair on tee shots, but there's also some pretty interesting holes ##8 is a drivable par 4 dog leg down to a green that backs up to a large pond, #18 is a beautiful but challenging par 5 with a risk/reward second shot over a large water hazard). Definitely recommended, especially if you can grab one of the discounted GolfNow tee times in the $55-65 range.

The combination of a great staff, good barbeque, interesting layout of good golf holes and good conditions made this an excellent day of golf. Exceptional value.

Great layout, not a lot of hidden surprises....you can see from the tee what lies ahead, you just need to execute the shot. Bunkers are well placed and will turn an short Par 4 into a double bogey.
Staff was friendly and range was decent. Greens were fairly quick, considering it was raining lightly most of the day, Great finishing hole...,risk/reward Par 5. Great GN rate for a Sunday, I'll be back here again soon

Had a great round at BR on Sunday, 8-18-13. Despite the course taking a bunch of rain the greens still have some speed and the overall quality of the course was maintained well.

For a reasonable price, this course offers a great deal of variety without being gimmicky. The finishing Par 5 18th is a real treat, requiring a sweetly struck teeshot to get close enough to the lake to be able to carry it. I got to within 20 yards and still barely hit my 4 hybrid into the near-side rough. It also offers the option of going over the lake away from the hole, a much easier shot, but leaving a much harder 3rd. Either way, it is a great risk/reward hole. Otherwise, bunkers are well placed and will punish offline tee shots, but the course is never unfair. The hole difficulty ratings are somewhat inaccurate in my opinion (the final hole ranks 8th hardest, should be at least 3rd), but this is almost not worth noting. Either way, for golfers just starting to break 100 to those playing scratch, this is a great course.

I have played this course many times. It is a great value when you book thru GolfNow.com I am a 18 hdcp and the white tees are fairly easy, blue tee are challenging. I have never played a round that took over 4:15 min
