Do not like the gas powered carts. Very hard course

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!

Golf balls aren’t cheap!!

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.

Nice course, slow greens, no restrooms

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.

Loved the layout, could use some maintenance.

The greens were just aerated, otherwise they were in great condition. Fairway was in rough condition on a lot of holes.

Course was in pretty good condition consideirng the tiem of the year

The course was good considering the time of the year. Although the greens were recently aerated they were still true, but slow.

The first cutting rough was quit thick and bit too tall. It was difficult to find the ball as well as hit the ball out of the grass.

One of the worst staff/manager is very toxic

Gives us a waiver to sign for the cart then gives us a broken cart. Now is charging us for the repair fee.

Manager is one of the worst human beings

Was given a broken cart and manager doesn’t even bother listening to what happened and just concluded to just charging me for it?

This used to be my favorite course

When booking a tee time do not call the pro shop to do so. Two times now i have booked a tee time on a Monday for a weekend round. Confirmed the Price over phone during booking .When arriving to the course the fee is larger than what i was told. The $14 extra dollars isn’t going to deter me from playing. However when asking Staff about this the response was you should book on golf now and not call because we have a scheduling company that answers the phone. Totally cool with that but tell them to provide accurate information for guests. This is simply all about etiquette. Which was not demonstrated very well the last few times at this course. Something to look out for, hopefully this helps someone out.

Course condition: IF IT HAS RAINED IN THE PAST WEEK DO NOT PLAY THIS COURSE. Tons and tons of standing water. fairways are soup. No rain however, this course is beautiful.

A quite a bit slow due to the high winds.

Layout and staff always fantastic. Pace of play was way off today. Most likely due to the very heavy winds making course conditions difficult. Greens still not back yet after aeration, even after the rain lately. Wasn't stated that the top dressing would impede the consistency and speed of greens. I’m sure anything after April 16ish will be fine. Don’t not pass up the opportunity to play here.

Gorgeous course and a tough test of golf

I hadn't played Bristow Manor before and I'll definitely be back! Really A++ course design - I used almost all the clubs in my bag, and all of the holes require both strategic thinking and shotmaking. With water on 12 of 18 holes and lots of less than driver tee shots, you have to be very confident hitting your lines. The course definitely forces long-range approach play given that many of the fairways run out at ~230 yards, forcing longer approach shots in the 180-190yd range.

Given how wet it has been recently, the course was in excellent condition. The fairways definitely had some wet spots and standing water, but the greens were well drained, if a little long/shaggy in places. The rough was extremely penal, particularly around the greens - it was around 3-4" with no real semi-rough to speak of. I'm usually proficient in up and downs, but missing the green exacted a real penalty.

Definitely not a course for beginners, as evidenced by the two very slow beginner golfers in my group.
