Rating Snapshot
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.

Great course, conditions and views
Great course. One of my favorites I have played in the area. Also wonderful practice facility. Will definitely be back!
Very nice course
This course is definitely maintained well and the layout is pretty good to the only problem with this course I have is that it’s a little expensive, it’s a nice place but there’s other courses for half the price around that aren’t far off from this one.
Hot Day on the Course
With the temperatures in the 90's and the humidity, I want to really thank the cart lady who was providing g free water and ice during the round. Even though I brought Gatorade along with me, the cart lady was astutely aware of the conditions and sought to ensure we were hydrated. I attempted to tip her and she refused it. What a wonderful and thoughtful person. Thank you.
Wedding Imposition
Everything was good, not great except they had a wedding on site. In my opinion, a huge inconvenience. Poorly marked holes, etc.
Beautiful Course!
Really enjoyed my round at Bull Run. Layout and conditions were excellent. Starter/marshall was extremely friendly, and gave helpful tips on a couple holes. My only nitpick is the layout of #18, which is kinda quirky. My best drive of the day left me with a short shot in to the green, but with a downhill/sidehill lie that was very tricky, especially with a not-so-wide green wedged between a tree and water. Anyway, I'll definitely be back. It wasn't cheap, but it was worth it!
Not bad for the price!
Pulled the plug and played here this morning. The range was in pretty rough shape, only mats to hit from and balls were dispensed out in small numbers.
The conditions of the course were actually solid. Fairway was definitely an advantage to hit from, tee boxes were in good shape, and the greens were really nice! Played here once last year and didn’t like it but this round I enjoyed!
Pace of play was slow due to the 4some in front struggling to find every ball they hit, it was pretty annoying.
Overall, for the price it’s a fun place to play! Back 9 was much harder than the front it I had a lot of fun and almost hit my personal best 82!

GREAT round of golf. Greens, fairways, tee boxes were in GREAT condition. Want to play here again ASAP!
Great course and starters do a good job at keeping slower groups up to pace
Excellent golf course layout, challenging but very playable? Beautiful community
Great golf course, good condition. Very enjoyable round of golf.
Gorgeous Conditions/Fairways - June 2022
Potomac Shores is in FANTASTIC shape right now (June 2022). I mean, like private club conditions. The fairways and greens are awesome. Some of the tee boxes had been punched earlier in the week but the rest of the course was great. We played on a Thursday and I have to say, the only disappointment is that the grill/restaurant didn't open until 12pm.
Slightly annoying for a club of this magnitude. Unrelated to the course, the house building around the course is out of control. Highly recommend playing it NOW before another row of eyesores are added.
Review
The greens were slow. The worst thing encountered is the awful bug problem. You couldn’t stand still because you were consumed by nats/flys. It was awful. Every single green and every single tee box you were attacked by bugs. The course was in good shape minus the greens not having any break and being slow. But paying over $100 a round to have to deal with bugs and below average greens was rather frustrating.
