Cart Path Again

Another enjoyable round of golf at Bristow Manor. There was a frost delay, and it was cart path only, but the staff did their best to get everyone out and finished in a timely manner. I have played this course (and recommend it) many times in the past few months but have yet to drive in the fairway. However, I always enjoy this course and the great conditions for this time of year. A+++

Friendly Round

Great round, I arrived early and the attendant let me go out as a single. I was able to play through the four comes. I was able to complete my round in about two and a half hours. The course was somewhat challenging to my skill level. I would definitely play this course again.

Great Course, Staff and Value

Cart path only (again) but this is quickly becoming one of my favorite courses. The course is in great condition for this time of year and the staff is super friendly. It is well worth the hour drive for me to play here and I would highly recommend this course!!! It seems to play a bit long for me (I dont crush it) but the layout is pleasurable but challenging.

Good course, fairly premium price

Good layout, tough front nine, greens and fairways in best shape of any public course within 20 miles, pace was slow and staff was just okay, but there was a frost delay which probably made it a stressful situation for them.

Great conditions for November

The conditions of this course are great. Extremely well maintained for November, the greens were in good shape besides people not fixing ball marks. Fairways were nice. Not the most challenging course and a tad overpriced for the area, but a really nice experience overall. I will definitely play here again.

Always good

Bristow remains one of my top courses in NOVA. The conditions are always good with smooth greens and nice fairways. The rough is reasonable. Some of the bunkers need some work. The staff is always very nice.

Perfect conditions but lacks amenities

Challenging layout with excellent conditions tee to green. Bring plenty of water bottles because this course has maybe 1 water station on the whole course. Also no ball washers. Overall the course is amazing clubhouse is amazing and I will definitely be back.

Always Great Greens

I've played here a number of times and the greens and fairways are always very good. Some tee boxes need to be leveled (they are crowned) and the bunkers need some love but overall, always an enjoyable round. Bristow will stay in the NOVA rotation.

Never recommend

This place will never come again It's not very good. I can't play a fun game because I wait for a long time and there are many people. I don't recommend it at all.

Major Pace of Play Issues

This course has great fairways, excellent greens and I really like the layout. The bunkers are a mess with most either having very little sand or virtually no sand. The bunkers that do have sand are hard packed so it's like hitting off hard pan if you are fortunate enough to land in one. The course itself would be great if they could fix the bunkers. The MAJOR issue with this course is the pace of play and lack of any real enforcement by the marshals. If you play here on a Saturday or Sunday, you should plan on your round taking at least 5 1/2 to 6 hours to complete. On several occasions now, I have actually just given up after 9 holes and gotten a rain check, which I would add is now something they don't even hand out if you purchase your round through GolfNow.
