GolfNow golfers are second class

I like the layout of this course and it was in reasonably good shape for early March. The pace of play was glacial not in small part due to the “management”. The pro shop staff was anything but friendly and welcoming, especially towards GolfNowers. We are definitely at the back of the line. I’ve been lucky enough to play a lot of great courses through GolfNow and have always felt welcome. Not here.

There are too many, much better courses to play for us. Don’t waste your money here.

Always in good shape

Can't say enough about the care of this course. They always keep this course in good condition. For any level of players, this course should be your standard for NV area. I have been disappointed by other higher priced courses after I played this course.

Greens in great shape for this time of year.

Bristow is in very good shape considering the time of year and the amount of snow and rain we have had in the last 6 weeks.

Maintenance crews were out getting the traps re-sanded and trimmed.

The greens were in exceptional shape. Fast and true with consistent speed throughout all 18 holes today.

Marshal?

Slow then slower then slowest. Marshaling is evidently a foreign concept. 1 group holding up everyone, nothing done to get them back on pace. Quit on 13, slow group was 2 groups up on 14, then no one until 18th green. Terrible experience.

Nice course. Friendly staff

Nice fairway. A couple of Par 3s are bit challenging, with 180 and 200 yards from the box. Staff is always friendly.

Pace of play

Pace of play was poor. Front nine took 2 hours and 50 minutes and I was a single. No marshal on the course to advise groups ahead to pick up pace. Sitting on every tee box for 10 minutes ruined my swing, muscles stiffened up due to the cold temps. I gave up after the front nine as I wasn’t gonna finish 18 before sun down. I may come back during a weekday and try again. Most likely will come back when it’s warmer.

Hassled by the Marshal led to a disappointing experience

We played on a wet/cart-path only day which led to about a 10 minute wait per tee box. We had no issues with the slow pace...can't argue with 58 degrees in January.

That being said, we were hassled by the Marshal about our pace on the 7th hole (which was well under recommended time). Our group plays to an average 12-15 handicap and the Marshal went as far as to ask that we play from the front tee's. Ridiculous. This guy was clearly oblivious to the slow pace in front of us and overall pace of the course.

If your Marshal's are going to hassle groups about pace, educate them on the course. Until then...we'll take our business elsewhere.

Best golf value in Virginia

I love the course layout and the conditions (except for the sandtraps) are always excellent. I've been paying the course for over 20 years and have been very impressed with the recent improvements to the cart paths, club house, rest rooms and general condition. Staff is veery friendly.

My only complaint is pace of play and lack of marshals. Unfortunately, pace of play can be a huge issue especially Friday - Sunday with rounds averaging over 5 hours.

Would give higher rating if not for pace of play

The course has a nice layout, very challenging and fun. The conditions in December were sub par. The staff in the pro shop is very friendly and professional. The pace of play was atrocious. There was no marshal and people playing ahead were rude and not considerate of the group behind them. Value for money is excellent. Normally I would recommend this course to friends but if they dont institute reasonable pace of play, it becomes such a negative. If they can improve it, I am sure it will make playing enjoyable here.
