Bull Run Golf Club

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

Good course, and is a lot of fun to play. Access to free grass practice range when paying for a round is a bonus.

Overall my group was disappointed on 8/9/2013 because the greens were aerated and we were not notified by staff prior to paying and playing. It baffled all of us as we've not known any courses to aerate green in the middle of the summer. Being new to the area wasn't sure if this was normal, so I called a few other courses and they don't aerate again until September. Also, there was no indication on golfnow that the greens were under maintenance, which definitely would have affected our decision to pay full afternoon rate for Bull Run vs another comparably priced course. I've played this course one time previously so I would recommend playing the course but call first on conditions before booking tee time.

First time on the course, it was a great play. The staff was very friendly. The carts are nice, the putting green is very nice. The range could use a little work, it has been torn up this summer, but OK if you can find a grassy spot. The course was in good shape, even with the extremely wet weather we've had this summer. The tees, fairways, and greens were in great shape. A few areas around some greens need some work, but they are trying to fix them. I would highly recommend, I will be back!

Golf course is good but now is maintance of green and fairway.
Feature is good condition.
I like that course.

Real nice course, greens were in great shape. Some great water holes added to the experience. Staff was very accommodating, booked a tee time for 3 people, and one of my A-hole friends thought it was wise to show up with a 4th unannounced. The staff managed to make it work even though they were booked solid for the afternoon. Definitely going back again, just not with that friend...

Great course, even wet it played true. I would make this one of my go to courses.

awesome course, but bee on the green was horrible. I only paid $33 so was super great deal.

Staff is freindly, and courteous, carts are clean, layout is challenging but not too hard for average golfers. Play moves well we experienced no stoppage or delays. Clubhouse is new with a nice sized Pro Shop.....will definitely play again.

Tee to green - good.
Greens are slow most likely due to hot temp.
Attention needed on some greens due wasp holes.
Range balls included in green fee.
Practice area satisfactory.
Pace of play good.

Been playing Bull Run for about 12 years. Great course, as always. Fairways were excellent, Greens were good - but very slow today.

PUT SOME SAND IN THE TRAPS!!! With the entire course being good-to-excellent Bull Run staff should be embarrassed with the lack of sand in the traps.

I have always liked this course, the fairways were good but players didn't fix ball marks,without golf now I wouldn't be able to afford Bull Run country club.

The drinks cart came around often and, more impressive, another cart came around with cold towels!

Very nice, well maintained course that was wide open (99 degrees with heat index) and had fairways that were wide open as well. Not too much trouble or water carry to speak of. I had a very enjoyable round out at Bull Run Golf Club.

Bull Run in my opinion is the best in the area. Challenging and at the same time forgiving is you miss hit. The course needs a marshall to keep the pace moving. At times (3 to 4 holes) there where three foursomes on a hole. On # 18 there where four foursomes. 18 needs to be re - teed...Make it faster. We spent 45 minutes on that hole alone. I still love the course and will play.
