Pleasant Valley Golf Club sits just south of Dulles airport, but the expansive layout, which is absent of homes, feels much more secluded. The parkland layout tumbles across a diverse landscape of rolling hills and grassy meadows covered with hardwood forests. There is plenty of diversity throughout the golf course with some holes that are bunker-less contrasting with the links holes that have Scottish-style bunkers. One of the most memorable holes is the par-5 fifth. After an uphill tee shot with a bunker on the right and a waste area on the left the second shot presents multiple choices. To the left you could take a risk with trees and a bunker but you could possibly be rewarded with a better angle for the third shot while the right side option will require a third shot over a large bunker to reach the green.

Conditions continue to decline - don’t be fooled!

This course gets worse every year. 5/6 years ago it was a decent track, now I feel stupid when I continue to play here. I think ‘maybe they’ve improved’ and give it a chance only to be let down once again. Kinda like getting back with your ex who cheated on you only to find it hasn’t stopped. AVOID

Great course on a beautiful day

The pace of play can sometimes be slow, which is what we expected on Sunday… However, we moved right along. It was great!

Great open feel

Nice cause but little damp after rain the night before. Would recommend as it was not backed up. Feel is very open and weather was great.

Great shape right now

This course doesn’t do great after a lot of rain but given that we haven’t had any, the course is in great shape. Played in 4 hrs. Really great layout. Go play it while you can!

Excessively slow and condition, not worth the money.

First time playing Pleasant Valley. Course was not in great condition. Tee boxes we burned up and little grass. Fairways and rough was decent. Greens had recently been punched and were rough. Several spots on most greens had rough areas due to damage or loss of grass. Now on to the pace of play. Horrible with no Marshall. I was a single and took well over 4 hours to play. Was behind a foursome the entire back nine. The round was, with no exaggeration, hit then wait at least five to ten min for the next shot.

A nice course to play!

I really enjoyed this course. While the greens are not in the best condition, the rest of the course is good. The staff is super friendly and everyone there seems to be easy going. Would definitely come back!
