Situated in the foothills of Bull Run Mountain, Bull Run Golf Club has a beautiful woodland setting that is conveniently located just minutes from many historic Civil War sites. The course plays through mature forests and across lush, grassy meadows. There are also several ponds that come into play throughout. The expansive layout covers over 450 acres, allowing plenty of room for the native flora and fauna. The risk-reward layout has plenty of challenges for more daring hitters but it also offers wide fairways that are molded to steer the ball towards the center. The landing areas are generous but they are often framed by grassy hollows, bunkers, or mature trees. Bull Run is challenging, but playable, which is why the club is considered one of the best golf courses in the D.C. area.

Great choice

In North VA for a few days and most of the public access courses are in bad shape . Bull Run was in good shape and the greens were excellent . The rough around the greens was the only negative but not really a issue . Great variety of holes very fair and interesting layout

Cool Morning

Course is coming back after summer heat. The greens had good pace and there was run in the fairways. The rough is a penalty as it should be.

Bull Run Golf

Bull Run is a premier course, great condition, with beautiful course layout with many holes secluded from other holes making it a very nice game. Wild life can be seen almost every game you play, and course has some really challenging holes that makes you play smart or risk a poor shot too much.

Really like playing this course. Could ylu replace the driving range mats and ensure each have a tee?

Thanks
M

Lovely Day at Bull Run

This is a darn good course. Layout is gorgeous: few visible houses and on most holed you can't see any other hole. A lot of long carries (too many for this distance-challenged hitter) and a lot of interesting angles. For this time of year, it's in great shape. Fairways are well-drained and the greens are in well above average condition. However, on many holes, the surface right off the greens are in tough shape, with patches of crab grass and sedge, alternating with bare spots. On several holes, I would have elected to putt from off the green but the weeds wouldn't allow it.

Occasional golfer

Paths were in good shape and the course easy to navigate. Fairways were very squishy, but considering all the recent rain, certainly payable. Greens were fast. Tee boxes in good shape. Lots of long grass if you're just off the fairways. Lost three balls even though we all watched where the ball went.

A good overall experience. I would play it again.

Beautiful course

We had a great front nine. Unfortunately, constant rain beginning at the turn forced us to quit after the 10th hole. I am hopeful that GolfNow will either reimburse us for part of the round or offer us a free or discounted round. Bull Run Golf Club did not offer us any refund and said that we would have to pursue that with GolfNow.

5+ Hour Round

Round completed in 5:15. No Ranger or Staff on Course - we were met at the end of the front 9 - which took us 2:50 to complete. Quite frustrating as the group behind us were hitting into us the entire time. Between holes 4 &5 we counted 6 groups total. Unbelievable experience - don't know if I will be back, especially with the $107 cost.

Walked

Challenging but Wet Course

Course was very wet but not unexpected after 4 inches of rain over the weekend. It was cart path only so I chose to walk. Fairways were decent but most of them need some work. All of the Fairways were mushy and many had several mud patches with no grass. The rough was very high and needed cutting. it was like US Open rough and very wet - impossible to get on the green from the rough. Greens were in decent shape, and surprisingly fast. Several greens had mud patches that need to be repaired. The course is usually in better condition. However, I'm sure all the rain the past few weeks contributed to the wet, patchy fairways and high, thick rough. Still a great course to play and challenging for all skill levels.

disappointed

I was really looking forward to playing here. Was disappointed by cold rudeness and overall demeanor of starter. Some staff were fine. They should at least try to fake it. Golf carts really smell like leaking oil/ uncombusted gas.

One of the best courses in area (8-10-2020)

Bull Run continues to be my fave course in NoVa. Great conditions and layout. A few bare spots here and there but with the July/Aug heat, that's to be expected. Given the conditions of the fairways and greens, Bull Run is worth the $$ right now.
