Bristow Manor Golf Club

The course is in excellent shape- greens and fairways were a 10!! This course is always in good shape and compared to some others in the area this is great BANG for your buck. also its nice to hit of grass driving range vs the matts!!

You should play here if you enjoy sitting behind 4 groups on one hole. Pace of play was unlike any other, staff couldn’t push through a group of 6 on a Sunday at 3pm. Great course conditions but it doesn’t make up for the pace of play. Don’t know why there was a group of 6 anyway, not hard to staff a starter that knows how to keep it going.

I showed up to the course without my proper shorts. When I asked if I needed to buy shorts or was I fine with my workout shorts The Nice Man and manager said it was ok. This is the example of the kind staff and why you should play this course. Pace of play was excellent and the course is challenging and fun for any level of golfer. But I recommended bringing your proper golf attire!

Wet, cart path only and totally saturated.

Should have not paid the price we did for a course that was barely playable.

Sand traps were mud pits

Fairways were totally saturated

Not a great experience.

My group plays Bristow Manor approximately once a month and it continues to elevate its overall conditions. The greens, fairways and rough are all easily the equivalent or better than most highly rated private clubs. We play most all public courses in Northern Virginia and Bristow remains at the top of our list, so we return here much more than other options because it is hard to go to others with the excellent conditions here. It is a great layout with a mix of several tough holes and mostly moderate difficulty. The staff is friendly, helpful and very engaging; also, we always have lunch and there are both reasonable and a good variety of options.

Have played here for many years. Fairways and greens today were the best I've ever seen them.

Choose the right tee to play. It is very important to put your ball on the fairway. Otherwise it is very hard to find your ball in the rough and you will get punished. Lost a few balls in the rough. Do not like the gas powered cart! It’s so noisy! So annoying!

The courses always was in good condition although this time the pace of play was extra slow. Think my biggest pain point was the maintenance crew who was taking care of the course rolled over our golf balls and mowed them down. Understand that everybody’s in a rush to do their job but golf balls aren’t cheap and just rolling over them and throwing your hands up to say oops I didn’t know your ball was there when we were walking up to hit them doesn’t seem to suffice. Huge disappointment in that regard.

Because it was April, I called the pro shop to see when they aerated the greens. I was told 'beginning of April' so I went out to play. When I got to the course, it was obvious that either a) I was lied to, or b) these greens take a VERY long time to heal. I like the course and they have been making improvements. NOTE: they don't have any restrooms on the course. They used to, but don't now. AMAZING.
