Decent

Reston National is a perfectly mediocre golf course. The layout isn't all that memorable and there isn't a hole or view that makes you stop and catch your breath. However, the greens were in excellent condition and generally the course was in great shape - credit to the crew and staff for their work. The starter was quite nice and the staff were nice as well. Lastly, the course is very fair - what you see is what you get.

Continued downhill turn (unfortunately)

All through 2023 and acceleratingly in 2024, the turf conditions have gotten worse, the turf maintenance worse (fairway, tees, and greens), and the clubhouse is falling in disrepair. It’s a shame considering the course layout and location are great. I’ll keep an eye out, but can’t say anything positive about the course to fellow golfers until significant investments are made. I’ll continue playing Herndon, as it keeps getting better and better (their greens are phenomenal in 2023).

Friendly staff

The course is in great condition for the time of the year. Staff is great and I enjoy the opportunity to play here. I’m a below average player 110 + -, but I always get the chance to play with nice people. The Carts are nice as well.

Good GC in its worst condition

It looked like they had recently aerated and I do recall a hard rain a few days ago. Even with that under considerations, overall condition is sub-par at best. Do avoid the sand traps. Poor drainage + lack of maintenance.

Poor pace of play

They had a delay start for frost, but was never notified. Even if they shotgun start, there was a slow pace of play.

Pace of play

I was playing as a solo (10:50) start time. I was able to play the first 2 holes without interruption and then caught up with the group ahead on the 3rd.

The pace from there was just glacial. On 9 tee there was myself, the group in front also on the tee, the twosome in front of them on the fairway and the 4?ladies in front of them approaching the green.

I had decided to quit at this point and was skipping 9 when I saw what was going on with the group near the green. I decided to have a look at 10 tee and I was not surprised to see the entire hole was clear. I changed my mind and teed off on 10. I did not have to wait for another shot until my second shot on 17. This is an opportunity to improve, you desperately need a Marshall to take a drive every now and then. The four ladies either needed to speed up or let people play through.

Holes 3-8 took me 2 hours
Holes 10-18 took me 65 minutes.

Great course to play on any day

Always like playing this golf course, because of the layout and the condition of the greens. The pace of play at the time our group played was a bit on the slow side but the Marshall did come out to remind the group in front of us when we were on the 12 th hole, which I thought improve out a bit on the latter part of the play. As with fall and wind blowing, leaves and debris were around the greens at times. But overall still good day to play golf at Reston.
