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
Give it a try
Bull Run is worth a try. Off the 3rd tee there were 2 deer laying down watching us. On the 4th fairway another deer was crossing. There are some challenging holes, but the course is in front of you, except possibly for 18. If you are a little off target you can still play the course.
The tee boxes looked like they have southern grass so they were a little patchy, but might be fantastic in the summer.
This was my first experience playing at the Bull Run Golf Club.
The Bull Run Golf Club provides a country setting golf experinece. I enjoyed the simplicity of the golf course which also proved a few challenging holes. I would have appreciated having a "course yardage guide" since this was my first round of golf at Bull Run GC, but they are no longer available for purchase. The golf club staff was friendly but seemed to be a bit unorganized when we arrived at the course. The club "starter" named Bob was very helpful and provided a good overview of the course. A fun golf experience with enough of a twist to satisfy a low handicapper.
This coarse was challenging and in great shape!!
This coarse was excellent, the play was a little slow but the staff did a great job with pairing groups together. The coarse was challenging and will definitely return to play again.
one of the best public courses in the area.
I played here several times and this course has all the belts and whistles you would expect for the value of money. This is one of the best public in Northern Virginia area. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for nice golfing experience.
GREAT LAYOUT! Needs work.
I understand that Bull Run is under new ownership, but the tee boxes and greens are pretty rough right now. Only a handful of greens offer a true line. It's still early though and I have faith in the staff there.
Terrible Tee Boxes
For $92, this place is a joke. The Tee boxes are a mixture of dirt and weeds, not to mention greens were punched and we were still charged full price. (Even if pristine, the course does not warrant $92.) If you can get a golfnow deal for around $45-$50, it MIGHT be worth it.
I would not recommend this golf course to anyone until the tee boxes are improved.
Great course!
Overall the course looks to be great, however we experienced aerated greens and a marathon round of 5 hrs plus. the marathon round could have been attributed to being the first nice day out in at least a week or so.
I would definitely recommend this course as it is a relatively easy layout, yet challenging enough.
poor shape
from tee boxes to fairways, course was in bad shape. The putting greens had been aerated so they were slow, as expected. But around the greens the grass was not smooth or manicured, they even had mulch around the greens for some reason. Got a great deal on golfnow for $23 but def would not play the course again.
great layout, in bad condition on March 12,'03
Despite several days of sunny, warm weather to hopefully dry out the fairways after some light snow and rain, some of the fairways were almost unplayable as balls were buried halfway into the ground upon landing.
The greens were covered completely with sand, I assume for maintenance purposes, so attempting to put was practically futile. The old adage applied the day I played, you get what you pay for.
Other than that, it's one of the best layouts i've played in NoVa and a good deal on GolfNow on a weekday. (I would not recommend playing full price under current conditions).I can see that this would be a beautiful course to play on a nice summer day with drier conditions. Corse is not too difficult for an intermediate player, with wide fairways and trees are not a problems.
To sum it up, excellent layout, but would wait to play under better conditions.
very great course.
When I make an appointment by other website I can't make it.
Beacuse too close time to make a book.
It was just 12 Hours ago to play.
But my friend recommended this web site so, I tried just few minute and then I can make it.
It's so easy make a book and wonderful site for players even who have a second language like me.
Thanks.
Quickly became my favorite course!
Love the layout and location! Challenging but the course can be had! It's forgiving on good shots! Love the locations where its at.
Never Play When Cart Path Only
Should have closed this course for the day on Feb 28th. The entire 18 holes were saturated with water. And having to walk to and from the golf cart made for a dreadful day on the links.
The bunkers were like ground under repair-horrific. Never play this course when it is cart path only. Call first and ask about the conditions before booking. I have played this course when it was dry and on a dry day it is more than challenging. On a dry day it is a wonderful course to play. But never, never ever play it when it has been rain soaked. Waste of time regardless of the decent price deal I had gotten! Wish I had called first before booking online. Know better next time.

It was very difficult to find the main gate by using GPS. GPS told us wrong direction so we enter private house. The houseowner seemed to be very angry because he had experienced unexpected visitors like us. Whole coures are very plain except some courses.
Great layout, lots of room. 5 tee boxes.
I love this course, so my review might be bias. It was a bit wet after all the rain, however, if you are in the area, this is a must play course. Even with the houses being built, the course has wide fairways, some great par 3's and a couple of risk/reward par 4's. The par 5's can be very rewarding, today I played them -1 with a look at eagle on 18. Great staff, excellent lounge/grill area. Practice facility is worth showing up an hour early. Large putting green, seperate chipping and bunker area. Driving range allows you to see all your shots with various flags. #1 is a great starting hole and 18 is one of the better finishing holes, especially if you are on a press. Enjoy!! I do every time.
Bull Run is vastly improved from what I remember
I played Bull Run several years ago before it was part of the Raspberry Falls group and thought it was a good lay out but nothing really special stood out to me. Now it has really been given a new lease on life. It looks and feels like an upscale course and it was almost like playing it for the first time. Beyond flipping the front and back nines it just seemed to have a completely different feel to me.
This round was played in January and I would like to see it in the summer when it is at its peak. Of course along with the improvements came higher peak greens fees but you do get what you pay for. There is enough challenge and a couple risk/reward opportunities to make it worth a higher rate when combined with the much improved management.
I am a bit of bargain hunter when it comes to greens fees but maybe Golfnow will satisfy this need to allow me to play this in the summer with some frequency.
Course offered great value for its price.
Played the course in about 4 1/2 hours. Great condition considering it is winter right now. Some sand on the greens and fairway was recovering from aerification. Overall we were quite happy with the conditions.
This course is a great layout and fun to play.
The course was fun to play as most holes have wide landing areas. However, there was plenty of difficulty on the greens. The course was in great shape considering we were playing in January. The staff was friendly and extremely helpful. We'll definitely make the trip back.
