Bristow Manor Golf Club

This course has no on course restrooms. So while the men simply step behind trees women have no real options.

I have not played this course in 20 years. Should not have waited this long. Really fun layout. Greens were in great shape. Fast but fun.

If you play in the afternoons, be aware that a full hour before sunset the management team goes hole to hole commanding golfers to bring in the carts 45 minutes before sunset or last light. I know of no golf course that does this. Asking golfers to bring in the carts a full 45 minutes before sunset ensures that afternoon Golfers will never be able to finish 18 holes. If you’re planning to play a late afternoon round, you’re better off going to another course that allows you to play until at least sunset. The summer months is when we look forward to playing 18 holes in the afternoons. Bristow‘s policy on this is very arbitrary and unfair. Combined with the fact that they have no pace of play monitoring, afternoon players are often stuck behind extremely slow carts ahead of them with little hope of finishing the round, even if they starte. a little after 3 PM. very unfortunate. Owners and upper management of Bristow Manor need to address this situation before they lose a lot of clients.

Bristow Manor is a decent golf course with an interesting layout. The course conditions were average, as many fairways were patchy and the greens had just recently been aerated (which they did not tell us).

My main issue with this course was the layout. Every par 5 on the course has a creek/waste area that sits between 230-350 yards from the tee basically forcing you to hit a hybrid or something to stay short. I wouldn't have minded if it were only 1-2 holes but it was all 4 par 5s. There were also a few par 4s that were gimmicky which added to that sentiment. It felt like they wanted there to be risk/reward on a lot of holes but then never gave you a chance to actually risk anything.

On a good note, the staff was very nice, but unfortunately I did not see the dog everyone was talking about. The practice facilities were pretty good and the restaurant was a great place to watch the end of the third round of The Masters!

I was very disappointed with this golf course.

I made a reservation through GolfNow and arrived a bit early. Since there were several open tee times ahead of us, I asked if we could start earlier. However, the staff rigidly told us to wait until our scheduled time, showing no flexibility. I have never experienced this at any other golf course.

Additionally, when I went into the pro shop to check in, a large black dog kept in the office ran toward me. I was so frightened that I had to run away. For people who are afraid of dogs, this can be a truly terrible experience.

I do not want to come back to this golf course again.

Staff very friendly, price I paid was reasonable for the area, it seemed about $25 less than usual.

Pace of play was much better than the last few times I’ve played there, it there was a backup on the back 9 which took about 3 holes to clear up.

I was really looking forward to this round, especially as it was my first time spending money on a nicer course and using a new set of clubs. Unfortunately, what should have been an exciting day was already dampened by the weather—and quickly made worse by the overall service experience.

I checked in online ahead of time and selected a range bucket, only to be told upon arrival that “they don’t do that on weekends.” Meanwhile, someone else in my group had already been given one without issue. That kind of inconsistency set the tone right away.

Things didn’t improve from there. Another person in our group wasn’t allowed to take a cart to pick up a teammate and was instead told they had to walk up and check in first. It felt unnecessarily rigid and not customer-friendly.

At the turn, I stopped to grab a Gatorade and had one of the more bizarre customer service experiences I’ve had. The only thing that greeted me was a dog. Multiple employees saw me standing there—including someone from the office and even a greenskeeper who walked in, grabbed a water, and left without paying—yet no one acknowledged me. I eventually had to leave a $10 bill on the counter myself just to move on.

Overall, the course itself may be nice, but the lack of basic customer service, consistency, and professionalism made this a very disappointing experience. For a place that positions itself as a higher-end course, I expected much better

It a more difficult coarse with target golf on front and link style on the back. Green rolled wonderfully as always and fairways although still dorment were in good shape.

Staff was friendly and helpful. For price and availability, its one of the best rounds in the area. Look forward to playing it this summer.

Course was in good shape a little wet in some areas from the night before but still had a nice round.

Great course, friendly staff, nice greens. I definitely plan to come back soon.

Showed up for my tee time today only to learn that the course GM had decided to space the previous four tee times TWO MINUTES apart in an effort to squeeze every last dollar out of the day. Thats right, they expected four groups to tee off in one 10 minute slot. Unsurprisingly, we teed off late and the course was completely backed up after we did. It took three hours to finish the front nine. I’ve never seen anything like it. Course was otherwise in good shape and staff was apologetic but powerless to do anything about it. Last time I’ll play here.
