Bristow Manor Golf Club

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.

Bristow Manor is a decent golf course with an interesting layout. The course conditions were average, as many fairways were patchy and the greens had just recently been aerated (which they did not tell us).

My main issue with this course was the layout. Every par 5 on the course has a creek/waste area that sits between 230-350 yards from the tee basically forcing you to hit a hybrid or something to stay short. I wouldn't have minded if it were only 1-2 holes but it was all 4 par 5s. There were also a few par 4s that were gimmicky which added to that sentiment. It felt like they wanted there to be risk/reward on a lot of holes but then never gave you a chance to actually risk anything.

On a good note, the staff was very nice, but unfortunately I did not see the dog everyone was talking about. The practice facilities were pretty good and the restaurant was a great place to watch the end of the third round of The Masters!

I was very disappointed with this golf course.

I made a reservation through GolfNow and arrived a bit early. Since there were several open tee times ahead of us, I asked if we could start earlier. However, the staff rigidly told us to wait until our scheduled time, showing no flexibility. I have never experienced this at any other golf course.

Additionally, when I went into the pro shop to check in, a large black dog kept in the office ran toward me. I was so frightened that I had to run away. For people who are afraid of dogs, this can be a truly terrible experience.

I do not want to come back to this golf course again.

Staff very friendly, price I paid was reasonable for the area, it seemed about $25 less than usual.

Pace of play was much better than the last few times I’ve played there, it there was a backup on the back 9 which took about 3 holes to clear up.

I was really looking forward to this round, especially as it was my first time spending money on a nicer course and using a new set of clubs. Unfortunately, what should have been an exciting day was already dampened by the weather—and quickly made worse by the overall service experience.

I checked in online ahead of time and selected a range bucket, only to be told upon arrival that “they don’t do that on weekends.” Meanwhile, someone else in my group had already been given one without issue. That kind of inconsistency set the tone right away.

Things didn’t improve from there. Another person in our group wasn’t allowed to take a cart to pick up a teammate and was instead told they had to walk up and check in first. It felt unnecessarily rigid and not customer-friendly.

At the turn, I stopped to grab a Gatorade and had one of the more bizarre customer service experiences I’ve had. The only thing that greeted me was a dog. Multiple employees saw me standing there—including someone from the office and even a greenskeeper who walked in, grabbed a water, and left without paying—yet no one acknowledged me. I eventually had to leave a $10 bill on the counter myself just to move on.

Overall, the course itself may be nice, but the lack of basic customer service, consistency, and professionalism made this a very disappointing experience. For a place that positions itself as a higher-end course, I expected much better

It a more difficult coarse with target golf on front and link style on the back. Green rolled wonderfully as always and fairways although still dorment were in good shape.

Staff was friendly and helpful. For price and availability, its one of the best rounds in the area. Look forward to playing it this summer.

Course was in good shape a little wet in some areas from the night before but still had a nice round.

Great course, friendly staff, nice greens. I definitely plan to come back soon.

Showed up for my tee time today only to learn that the course GM had decided to space the previous four tee times TWO MINUTES apart in an effort to squeeze every last dollar out of the day. Thats right, they expected four groups to tee off in one 10 minute slot. Unsurprisingly, we teed off late and the course was completely backed up after we did. It took three hours to finish the front nine. I’ve never seen anything like it. Course was otherwise in good shape and staff was apologetic but powerless to do anything about it. Last time I’ll play here.

Returned to play this course after moving away many years ago and it was a treat to come back and play Bristow Manor. The course is in fabulous shape, especially the greens, which were immaculate. The bunkers could use a little work by adding some actual sand, but that is a minor deal since the rest of the course is in great shape. Pace of play was also great and the staff was very professional and helpful. Great bar and grill as well that stayed open late, so I was able to order some food after my round. I hope to play this course every time I’m back in the area.

Friend Lyne of the staff, the shape of the course and the value make this one of the best deals in Northern Virginia

Bristow is all ways good condition

I like and I will be back sometimes
