You get what you pay for

Course still very wet, so cart path only. Greens had been punched but excessive amount of sand made putting impossible. Fairways were mostly in great shape. T box’s not so much. Carts paths, roughs, etc pretty bad

Course management should think about customer experience.

The course held a shotgun start tournament the day we played. Regular tee times following the event backed up . The Starter pushed groups off the 1st tee box as fast as possible. Our group averaged 30 mins a hole as a result.

Best fairways in the area

Bristow Manor Golf Club is a challenging 18 hole course. The fairways are pristine. The greens are in great shape. Pace of play can be slow due to a lot of people playing.

No Water

Course was dry until the young man turned the water on 18 while we were on the green putting? Water tub on hole 3 had some, Tub on 6 had some, Tub on 12 was empty, Tub on 16 was empty. Did I mention we teed off at noon and it was 90 degrees. Not a pleasant time on the golf course. Glad when we got out of there!

Very Nice

I have played this course a number of times over the years. A lot of other courses around Northern VA are in very bad shape now (example: Pleasant Valley in Chantilly, with dead tee boxes and greens full of ball marks). Not Bristow! Tees, fairways, and greens are all very nice. Bunkers have improved but still sub-par. The zoyzia fairways are great, and the greens were smooth. I'll play there again soon.

Beginner friendly track, great greens

Appropriately priced greens fees, but don’t expect at 80-100 course/experience for 60 bucks. Range is closed and course still soaked with standing water everywhere (lots of courses very wet right now but appears this place will take weeks to dry out). Fairways are thick Bermuda grass, greens are bent and in great shape. Layout a bit quirky (short par 5s where you need to hit iron off the tee, etc.) but good track for beginners. If I had to guess, the average handicap of the players I saw on a nice weekend morning across the course was probably 30.. that combined with no marshals adds up to a long round

Wet day at the office

Cart path only on this course adds an hour to the round. Not the courses fault as VA has gotten hammered with rain, but it didn't help that the course seemed over booked also. Very muddy out there on a sweltering day. Greens were in very good condition all things considered.

Great greens!

Played after several days of rain so course was very soggy! Regardless of the wet spots, greens were awesome! Fairways were plush! Will be back soon!

Challenging but fair

I thought course was in good shape considering all the recent rain. Rough was a bit long but not bad. Cart path only caused a longer round time (5hrs) but not slow play pace. Enjoyed the course and will play it again

Great course to play

Simply the best tee boxes, fairways and greens that I have played all year. They rival courses charging $100.00 or more per round. This course is a must to play and I will play it again soon.

Incredibly Enjoyable Course!!!

The course is beautiful and in great shape. There are some interesting par 5s and par 4s. They just need to fix the sands in the bunker. Overall a very challenging but enjoyable course.

Always a good time at Bristow Manor

While my round itself was not great...that was only due to my play!!! Course conditions were great; the course itself is hard but its a good challenge. Course personnel have ALWAYS been kind and helpful!! Have played Bristow many times, and will continue to play Bristow many more!!

Where's the water

Played twice this wee6,7/2 and 7/5.

First the good,conditions were great, greens good,pace of play good.

The bad, it was 100 degrees both days, and there was no drinking water on the course. Called the pro shop and no one seemed to care, and this was late morning,

I guess they want you to buy from the beverage cart, didn't see it until the 13th hole.

Hello Bristow Manor, when it's that hot, you need to provide water,and there is only 1 water station on the front nine, at the 3rd hole. How about another, perhaps at 7.
