Ruff Around the Edges

This course has a lot potential but needs a little more TLC. Good layout, not too long, but provides challenging obstacles, and greens. Not sure its worth the money but I played on a HOT DEAL which made it worthy of the price.

Unfriendly staff

1pm tee time and there was no one at front desk for 10 minutes. When he finally showed up he had a bad attitude and was unfriendly. We couldn’t play 3 holes on back 9 because the sprinkler systems were on. I called the clubhouse and asked for someone to come out and turn them off. He said there was no one available and to wait. Wait?? We couldn’t finish out on 3 greens. I then asked for a rain check for 9 and he came back with, “too bad, you should have waited for the sprinklers to be turned off”. What? 30 minutes later? This is not the first time we’ve experienced such an unprofessional staff. It’s usually the same 2 elderly staffers that work there. Been going on for years.

Another enjoyable round.

The course is in great condition and should remain that way. If you happen to read this review, please repair your divots on the greens! They will only stay nice if divots are repaired. Help the staff help us!

Great course

Wow. Course is in terrific shape. I’ve played Bristow many times because it’s normally in very good shape. I was blown away by the fairways and greens - immaculate. I also was allowed to go out in a cart as a single paired with a twosome. Pace of play was great - 3.5 hours, and that was with a foursome in front of us. I highly recommend Bristow!

Nice greens

Bristow continues to satisfy with nice greens, friendly and attentive staff. The beverage cart is never too far away (Mary is awesome!). Nice range as well as a chipping and putting greens.

New patio is a great place to hang after a challenging but relaxing round.

Hope to be back soon!

Return to Glory

I played Bristow Manor a lot when it first opened up in 1993. It was a great course for many years. It had some not so good years in between. It has returned to its former glory. The greens are in exceptional condition. The 7th hole is a world class par 4. It is one of the best in Northern Virginia. Absolutely the best value in Northern Virginia. Last but not lest the driving range has grass tees. I play it whenever I can now.

Great way to enjoy social distancing

Course was in great shape! The only delay was waiting on carts as they were literally turning them around as they got there. Pace was a tad slow but not too bad. Wish it wasn’t as expensive but was the best deal in the area.

Very Nice!

They have the course in very, very nice condition. Greens rolled beautifully. This is a hard course but very walkable and enjoyable. Holes 7 and 8 may be the toughest back-to-back holes in northern VA. Question: I see you have put money into the course and the clubhouse (great!) but what happened to the restroom on the back 9?

Another nice day at Bristow

Still one of my favorites. The greens are in beautiful condition as are the fairways. It'll be great when I can enjoy a post-round beer on the patio. If you can, book a round here, you won't be dissapointed.
