Watching fairways go from lush to threadbare at Bull Run Golf Club in the late 2000s was an unsettling sight for public golfers in Northern Virginia.

Fun and forgiving, the course is set on a dramatic parcel of land in the shadow of Bull Run Mountain. It traverses scenic woodlands, meadows and ponds.
