Pleasant Valley Golf Club
About
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.

Bad condition
The layout of the course is fun. The condition was very patchy and poor. Was looking to add a course to the rotation but i unfortunately won’t be playing here again.
Tee boxes and greens...
Tee boxes and greens are in bad shape for 80 plus a round... Not the first time this has happened.
Ill maintained, not worth the $102 Price tag
My first experience at Pleasant Valley GG, and unfortunately, if I could, I would give this Golf Club half a star.
The property is not properly maintained, the club does not properly manage its tee times, and basic amenities were missing altogether, providing an unpleasant and stressful experience for my friends and me.
As this is a public course, there is a certain standard you must accept. However, for a price of $102.00 each, one would expect a certain level of care for their course and the people who play on it.
Every hole on the course was ill-maintained, where weeds and tall grass took over tee boxes and fairways. The greens were as patchy and barren as the Mojave Desert. Once you prepared yourself to take a swing out of an uncomfortable lie, you could feel the tension between the group ahead and behind as they wanted the pace of play to start picking up.
I have never experienced something so poor that I had this sense of urgency to write a review, please save your $102.00. It is better spent elsewhere.
WASTE of money
I don’t normally write reviews unless I have an over the top great experience OR very substandard/mediocre experience. My buddies and I were excited to play Pleasant Valley for the first time but were pretty shocked to see how awful the conditions of the course were. The tee boxes had literal weeds growing out of them, (so did the sand bunkers) the fairways had huge craters in them and the greens were patchy.
I wouldn’t normally write reviews about these issues because I understand that they get played a lot—the reason why I’m writing a review is because we paid $100 EACH to play 18 holes and I haven’t played at a worse looking course in over 2 years. This course should have been $50 MAX. The tee times were also not far enough apart so we were squeezed the entire time.
The staff was great and friendly but I will not be spending $100 here for a round ever again.
$100 for dead tee boxes and chucks ripped out of fairways
Course is in horrible shape. The tee boxes are dead and overrun with weeds. The fairways are in poor shape with chucks of grass ripped out all over. Certainly players could do a better job of replacing divots, but maintenance on the course is severely lacking.
Looks like all the money went to new cart paths.
$100 for this course is robbery.
Great cart paths!
If you are willing to pay $96 for great cart paths, this course is for you! The drainage at this place is horrible. Many greens and fairways were soggy...even though it hadn't rained in 2 days. The "greens"...I think I would call them browns instead. Deadspots on every green which took up about half of each of them. The Tee boxes were covered in weeds covering most of it. It would look mediocre if they cut the weeds, but of course not. Let them grow, right, because $96 isnt alot for golf. Are there groundskeepers? If they spent half the time or money on the course as they did the cartpaths, this place would be pretty good. Unfortunately, this is the worst kept place I have even played in, and I have played in 5 or 6 different states. I will say besided the cart paths, the people all seemed really nice and personable.
Should be better for the COST
Tee boxes and greens are diseased and over grown, fairways were better than average.
No marshal and saw the Beverage person once on 18 holes. Food bar was ok, the hot dogs were not hot.
Too expensive for the service provided.
I have played this course for over 20 years and it has been hit or miss and the last few times I played its been a miss.
Frustrating
I paid in advance through Golfnow and when I arrived, learned that 1/2 of the course is under construction. the attendant said, "Well, if you made the teetime through us, you would have known."
Ugh! Stay Away!
Many (5 or 6) greens have significant areas of dead grass. This should be a fine course in the area (it is a good design) but the condition, again, just is terrible. It happens every year and they don't do anything about it.
It’s a swamp
Had not played here in a decade and thought I’d give it a go. Showed up 17-20 hours after the last rain and it was a swamp. Standing water that looked like a pond on multiple fairways. Cart paths had water everywhere, the drainage on this course is terrible, lots of bugs. We also waited 5 minutes on every tee box. The driving range was shutdown and it was cart path only, still got charged full price of $95. Won’t be back.
Lookin Good
Course is in good condition. Greens are lush and soft. Fairways are nice. Tee boxes have lots of divots.
Nice layout, pace of play is often slow.
This course could be so good if they could keep a consistent pace of play. I have actually walked off the course due to a 9 taking 3 hours. It's generally well kept, the staff is nice and it's a better than average layout.
For $94 and a 90 degree day they should provide water on the course. No water coolers in that type of heat is ridiculous. All other courses seem to be blue to provide water. That’s just lazy
