Mid Afternoon Golf
Told we could not finish our round due to closing at 8pm. Had 1 hole left at 745pm. They kicked everyone out and provided no refund. Probably won't be back. Sun was still out after 830pm.
Extremely Strict Now!
The golf shop service is decent, however, with the new starter they have, he’s been a real pain and BY THE BOOK WITH POLICY! If you’re trying to golf by yourself and there’s nobody else behind you on the schedule (regardless if they’re busy or not) he’s going to pair you up and bump you up despite your tee time! With the price I paid, I can go elsewhere like Old Hickory and/or Potomac Shores and pay the same price, stick to my tee time, and if I have the time slot to myself (without anyone else scheduling that time), I can enjoy myself without the starter getting on my back! Lastly, they won’t even allow you to drive the golf cart to the driving range anymore! Never again and take it from me, you’re better off going to another course with better service and better starters!
Good Value Course
Bristow Manor was in good condition when I played it. However the greens were rolling a little slow for my liking which may have been due to the recent rain. Other than that the pace of play was excellent for a weekday. Finished the round in less than 4 hours.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the course conditions and that you experienced an excellent pace of play, finishing in under four hours. While the recent rain may have slowed the greens a bit, we're always working to provide the best possible playing conditions. We appreciate your comments and look forward to welcoming you back to Bristow Manor Golf Club for another great round!
Condition great - be prepared for groundskeepers working when you play
Fun course - but brutal experience - every single maintenance employee was working every hole on a packed tee sheet day just before July 4th holiday. Cutting grass, watering every green, bunker raking. You name it. All you heard and saw around you was grass getting cut and someone watering every hole. Nerve wracking and quite annoying. Probably will not go back unless it’s the last course available.
hank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the course itself, but we're sorry to hear that your round was impacted by maintenance activities.
Our maintenance team works hard to keep the course in excellent condition, especially during the busy summer season. Occasionally, necessary course maintenance must be performed during operating hours to ensure the best possible playing conditions for all guests. We understand that encountering maintenance on multiple holes can be frustrating, and we appreciate your comments.
Your feedback has been shared with our team as we continually look for ways to better balance course maintenance with the guest experience. We hope you'll consider giving Bristow Manor another opportunity in the future.
GolfNow Deal outing
With what looked like a lot of open tee times, the course could easily offer to let me start earlier., but chose to hold the 4 some of individual golfers. Especially for such a hot day, allowing golfers out earlier would allow for faster rounds.
would allow for faster rounds.
Thank you for your feedback. We understand why you would have preferred to start earlier, especially on a hot day.
While there may appear to be open tee times, our tee sheet is managed based on several operational factors, including pace of play, staffing, maintenance schedules, and anticipated bookings. For those reasons, we aren't always able to move tee times earlier, even when availability appears open.
We appreciate you sharing your perspective, and we'll take your comments into consideration as we continue looking for ways to improve the experience for all of our guests.
Great course, play there, but hope/pray weather won't interrupt your round. (Oh, and wear a collared shirt.)
I've played Bristow Manor for several years now. It is a great course, both in terms of layout and course conditions during the season. The course kicks my butt every time, but I still enjoy (the challenge of) playing there. They have a good/decent clubhouse and bar, and they offer good deals for playing on weekdays.
** CAVEATS **
One: Wear a collared shirt 🙄. That's their rule because (I was told) "We have members", who are apparently fussy about this.
Two: Avoid playing there if there is a foreseeable chance weather is going to shut down your round. I had a horrible experience trying to get a refund for my rained out round, I played on June 26th, 2:50 tee time, booked through Golfnow Hot Deal. Bottom line: Don't leave unless the manager/superintendent tells you (to your face) that they have closed the course, i.e., don't take the word of any other staff person regarding course closure.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for continuing to choose Bristow Manor over the years. We truly appreciate your kind words about the course layout, conditions, and the challenge our course provides. We’re glad you continue to enjoy the experience, even when the course gives you a tough test!
We also appreciate you sharing your concerns regarding dress code and your recent weather-related experience. Our collared shirt policy is in place to maintain the atmosphere and standards we strive to provide for all of our guests and members. Regarding weather closures and refunds, we understand how frustrating it can be when plans are disrupted. We always encourage guests to check with the golf shop or management team for the most up-to-date information regarding course conditions and closures.
We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back soon for another round at Bristow Manor.
Greens
It rained the front nine but the greens were fantastic. They rolled fast and pure. Best greens so far
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad to hear that despite the rain on the front nine, you were able to enjoy our greens. Our team works hard to maintain fast, smooth, and consistent putting surfaces throughout the season, and we appreciate you recognizing their efforts.
We hope to see you back at Bristow Manor soon for another great round!
Horrible course
I did not like playing this course. I was not allowed to have my own car instead I had to ride with another golfer that sucks.
Great course
Both times I have played it, I booked through GolfNow. Love the layout. One thing that needs to happen is people fix ball marks on the green, I fixed several others through out the course. Greens had good speed
Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the layout and that our greens provided a great putting experience. Our team works hard to keep the greens rolling at a consistent speed and in great condition throughout the season.
We also appreciate you taking the time to repair additional ball marks during your rounds. Properly maintaining the greens is something we all play a part in, and we encourage all golfers to take a moment to fix their own marks and help keep the course in great shape for everyone.
We look forward to welcoming you back for another round at Bristow Manor!
Moved surprisingly well
Previous visits (other than the last 2), pace of play was slow. The last visit we moved quickly.
A couple of spots under repair, but nothing to harm your game.
Traps aren’t consistent.
A variety of tee placements, if never played there check with starter and the posted placards.
Thank you for sharing your feedback and for continuing to visit Bristow Manor! We’re glad to hear your most recent round had a great pace of play and that you were able to enjoy your experience on the course.
We appreciate you mentioning the areas under repair as well. Our team is always working to improve and maintain the course conditions throughout the season. We also value your feedback regarding the bunkers and will continue working toward providing more consistent playing conditions.
For first-time guests, we appreciate you pointing out the variety of tee placements. Checking with our starter and the course signage is a great way to make sure players have the best experience possible. We look forward to welcoming you back for another round soon!
Beautiful Day Beautiful Course
The course was perfectly maintained. Reviews about rude staff had me worried, but the pro shop person, starter, bartender, and cart girl couldn’t have been nicer. The only complaint I have is that we had to play from an alternate tee box for one hole because the sprinklers were on and no one was there to turn them off.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We’re thrilled to hear that you found the course to be in excellent condition and that our team provided a welcoming experience. We appreciate your kind words about our pro shop staff, starter, bartenders, and cart attendants — we’ll be sure to share your feedback with them.
We apologize for the inconvenience of having to use an alternate tee box due to the sprinklers. We understand how that can impact your round, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention so we can continue improving communication and course operations.
Thank you again for choosing Bristow Manor. We look forward to welcoming you back for another great round!
Mediocre Weekend Golf
For the price, the course conditions are subpar and neither bottle of sand was full in the cart.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad to hear you had positive experiences with our golf shop staff, though we're sorry to learn that other aspects of your visit did not meet your expectations.
Our starter's role is to help maintain an efficient pace of play and ensure the best experience possible for all golfers on the course. Pairing singles and occasionally adjusting tee times are standard practices that help keep play moving smoothly, even when the tee sheet may appear open. We understand that many golfers enjoy playing alone, and we appreciate your perspective.
Regarding golf carts, our policy is in place to protect the practice areas and ensure the safety of all guests. We understand this may be different from what you've experienced in the past.
We value your feedback and will share your comments with our management team as we continually evaluate our operations and guest experience. We hope you'll consider giving us another opportunity to provide you with a more enjoyable round in the future.
