Bristow Manor Golf Club

The Best Conditioned course in NOVA for the price.

Fairways and Greens are in great shape. The rough isn't penalizing. The pace of play could be better but overall a Very Nice course.

Never saw a starter

Very slow play

Range balls not included in greens fee

No marshall

Didn't see a Beverage cart till 15th hole

No staff to load/unload bags, carts

Cart return 200 yards from parking lot

Have played Bristow before and will definitely play again! A challenging course, but love a challenge!! Pace of play was much better then it has been during past rounds at Bristow...but we also had an earlier tee time than normal.

Course is in great shape and an excellent value. I would much rather drive to Bristow than drive around DC to the Montgomery county tracks.

I understand courses need to be maintained, but I had maintenance folks working the course in 14 of the 18 holes; from hole 11-16, the guy cutting the greens would not let me play through (I was by myself) and I had to wait for him to finish before he (and I) went to the next hole.

Course layout is great and the conditions were pretty nice too.

Great conditions greens were like glass. Fairways are solid. When have you ever seen a perfect tee box on a Sunday afternoon? Grounds crew gets two thumbs way up!

No one is going to meet you at your car and carry your bag or even say hello till you make it in the clubhouse. After you make it in the clubhouse though everyone is friendly. The ball picker blew a belt so no range balls this time around, however the range is really nice when they do have balls.

The starter thinks he owns the course and everything in it but at 2:30 on a Sunday in July when it's 70* I'd probably get tired of being the friendliest guy on the course too!

The fairways and greens on this course though are truly some of the best in the area! Certainly one of the best for the money.

Keeping in mind this was the best weather on a Sunday afternoon in July I think I've experienced in my 27 years of living in northern Virginia the pace of play was a real downer. 5:30 to play 18.

1 bev cart all day long

Other than that great course I will definatly play again can't beat a 2:30 tee time for 29 bucks and play a course as well kept as this one.

Worth it for the price is all that can really be said about this. Distance isn't too good as it takes driver out of your hands on a few par 5s due to course layout

One of the best courses in the area. Always well kept. Vetu enjoyable.

Course is worth the scenic drive. Right now course is in great condition and pace of play is always reasonable; never mind the great rates!! I'd def recommend & will be plyn again soon!!

July weather in the DMV area separates the great golf course maintenance crews from the good ones. Hot, humid weather with dry spells and occasional downpours really tests the playability of any course. So it’s this time of year when Bristow Manor GC really shines.

The greens, fairways, and rough are all lush, green, and smooth, with no signs of burnout or overwatering. The day I played the heat index was well over 100 degrees, yet the course played beautifully. The fairway grass was a bit long, but I’d gladly trade that for burnt out areas or soggy spots. The greens here are medium speed, but have enough undulation to be challenging without being frustrating. My only complaint about the conditions is that many of the bunkers were only thinly covered in sand, although there were no rocks or washout gullies in them either.

The layout of the course is quite attractive as well. Some holes have a links style to them with wide fairways and fescue with few trees but there are still plenty of hazards to watch out for and not all of them are easily seen. This course will demand your best game (which I didn’t bring with me this time) or it can leave you a bit frustrated but there’s no gimmicks and you’ll never feel cheated by the course’s design.

The staff did their best to accommodate my desire to tee off early despite having a Hot Now tee time (be ye warned: they want you to go off when you’re scheduled if you get a discounted rate) and kudos to the lady behind the bar who was among the friendliest bartender I’ve met on a golf course or otherwise.

The off-course amenities are pretty good with multiple putting/chipping greens, practice bunker, driving range, and the aforementioned inviting clubhouse restaurant. Pace of play was excellent the day I played due to the extremely hot weather but this course is rarely if ever over-crowded.

Considering I paid just $30 for my round and those rates are available just about every day on GolfNow, I highly recommend this course as a great challenge and a great value.

It has been little long time I play this course, but it better than most of the golf clubs around my area. I enjoy it. I will be back

Course is in great shape. Greens are excellent. Layout is nice with LOTS of water features. Price was excellent for the value. Only critics are the tee boxes were not level and they could hire a better bathroom maintainance crew but I those are minor flaws and the excellent playing conditions far outweight them. Another plus is the grass driving range.

It had rained all night and day. We teed off after the rain stopped. The course played like it never rained. It drained extremely well. The greens rolled perfectly. We will play this course again very soon

The course was in good shape with the greens exceptional. The rough was very tough! If you don't hit in the fairway off the drive your lucky to find your ball which was frustrating at times. The rough isn't that tall but is difficult to get your club through. If your looking for a challenge this is the course!

I returned to play a course that has not been on my radar for several years. Overall, the course was in fair to good shape. Tee boxes were okay, fairways had a few bare spots. Greens were in good shape and true, if somewhat medium slow. This is probably due to the early season and they are ready to be mowed to optimum playing length. Pace of play for the two of us was good - well under four hours. The rough had been cut once but is still US Open length (a common complaint at many courses this time of year). The highlight of my day was the eagle I made at #10. I jarred it from 140 yards out! The only downer - with the green being elevated I did not see it. I will return during the season.

Really enjoyed this round. Not a terribly long course from the black tees - 6300 or so. Fairways were well maintained, and the zoysia grass was nearly greened up for the season. Rough was challenging, though not overgrown. Greens were on the slow side, but immaculately maintained with no brown spots or sand.

The creek that runs through the entire front nine is an interesting obstacle, and ties the holes together. Trees planted alongside fairways were in bloom, and bring strategy and angle of approach into play.
