Bristow Manor Golf Club

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.
