Disappointed

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.

Bristow Manor review

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.

Disappointed

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

Green and Fairways were very nice.

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.

Insane Tee Time Spacing

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.

Course in great shape!

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.
