Bristow Manor Golf Club

Solid course, challenging but fair, great conditions (fairways and greens)...will play again in the future

Bristow Manor has always been well maintained. The greens had been aerated the prior week. They always use small tines. It was hard to see evidence of aeration! I was a single and told in the club house that I could tee off once the 1st tee was clear. That was immediately, and since I’d arrived 25 minutes prior to my tee time, I got out early. Fairways were in good shape, with a few spots on the fairways that showed what a brutal summer it’s been. Overall, the course was significantly better maintained than almost all of the other courses I’ve played this year. Thanks for a very nice golf experience!

Black tees were in poor condition: not level and poor turf. There was some burn out in the fairways. Greens held well and were in decent condition after just recovering from verti- cutting. Carts were electric and in great condition. Range was mat use only when there is a large turf area that could have been used. Bunkers were excellent, with proper sand amounts. Overall, my round was a good value for the $35 Golfnow price I paid.

It was a hot, dry summer, but this should have been a $40 round of golf, not $120. Several greens had bare dirt patches. Fairways and first cut rough had lots of bare patches that were up to 20 feet in diameter. Tee boxes were bad, but I guess that’s to be expected given the condition of the rest of the course.

The golf course operates with only a 4-minute interval between tee times, which resulted in excessive delays. A 9-hole round took over 3 hours, and a full 18-hole round stretched to 6 hours. In addition, the course conditions appeared poorly maintained. Unfortunately, due to these issues, I do not plan to return.

There are a lot of split fairways so you have to hit a lot of layups from the tee box. Even on par 5 you cant hit drivers without running out of fairway.

Decent layout with numerous challenges. Greens were in great shape!

Good- greens, fairways, driving range and putting practice are

Bad- tee boxes… and some rough spots off the greens

Overall course is in good shape, always enjoy playing Bristow and easy to get a tee time.

Fairways and Greens in great shape! One of the gems of northern Va!!!

It was a beautiful day. Weekday mid-morning tee time. Club house was super quiet. No food options. The only food for sale was clif bars. A bit of a disappointing start. No starter to tell us where to go (had to play back 9 first). It was confusing. Playing a course with split fairways and no local knowledge was a real challenge. Would be easier next time, but this was not a really enjoyable first round of golf without an insider.
