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.

Needs some TLC

Great course layout but has some really poor conditions. Bunkers need sand, 75% of them are rock hard bare soil. Greens are slow and have some sort of invasive weed in them making them bumpy. There isn’t really a true line to a put, you just have to get lucky for your put to wobble in off line. Fairways were half decent but the tee boxes had that invasive weed problem as well. Overall the course would be well worth its price if the conditions were back to it’s prime. Not worth the price right now, it’s best to find a course where a 2 foot put actually runs true and is not up to chance.

Solid choice - consistently good

Bull Run is one of my go-to courses in the area. Course is fun but challenging, conditions are usually above average and continue to improve. Would recommend. Comparable to Westfields and Stone Wall.

Course conditions need some help

Course has a great layout and practice area. Biggest issues are poor tee boxes and several bad patches on the fairway. Bunkers were hard pan with lots of rocks in there, not sand. Some repair on the cart paths needed as well. Nice course for $55. Not $80.

BULL RUN WINTER

It was 40 when we started and rose to 50 for back 9. The course was in great shape for March except greens which were in real good shape but slow. The bar is awesome, full bar, hot dogs and other snacks at the turn. Cart girl came around several times.. big plus!! I only gave 3 stars for off course amenities because guess what? The pro shop had NO ball markers.. I mean none, not even the stupid big poker chips kind.

$105 is a bit pricey but will definitely go back next time in Manassas. I think all of the courses in the area are around $80 to $90 anyway. Oh yeah, call pro shop for rates before using golf now - 5 to 10 cheaper. Golf Now is going down hill in my opinion.

Gravel Bunkers???

I enjoy this course every time I had played it. Its fairly wide so I feel that its very playable...except when it comes to its bunkers. For some reason all of the bunkers have a hard packed bed of gravel that is beautifully disguised under perfect white powder sand. Forget about playing out of the bunkers here. The bunkers reject your club because of the hidden bed of rock under the sand. Is this some superintendent gag or technique that I'm unaware of? Very surprised and appalled by this. Other than that...I love this course. Great clubhouse, range, putting greens, and course layout.

Winter expectations should be light

Many tee boxes are real beat up. We play at a public course in area which has nicer greens and fairways and drains better. Views are beautiful and I do like the layouts but their prices for quality of course has substantially increased.

Greens are immaculate

Ive played this course twice (November and January) and while I obviously only seen the course during the off-season, I must say I've come away impressed both times. Fairways and rough are good considering the winter months but the greens are in excellent condition. Ball rolled true and it was actually rare to find a blemish or pitch mark. The layout isn't anything special but Its good and the 18th is a reachable par 5 if you hit it good off the tee. I will absolutely be back when it warms up a bit

Bull Run

if memory serves, this course had some trauma in the early 2000's with cicada killers swarming the course and destroying greens. they have come back from that devastation and it's pretty much back to its former glory. there are houses at the course now, but that really doesn't detract from the experience at all.
