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.

Love this course but the greens were pretty slow. 5 hour round which is not great but I will be back when the weather gets cooler and they charge less...

My visit too Bull Run Golf Club was nothing short of exceptional. The course presents a stimulating challenge for golfers at all levels, thanks to its carefully crafted design and well-maintained greens. The staff exhibited superior service, providing a welcoming and professional atmosphere. Additionally, the dining experience and the well-equipped pro shop catered to all needs. For an unparalleled golfing adventure set in stunning natural beauty, Bull Run Golf Club is a high recommendation.

First Time Playing

Needs some TLC

Great course layout but has some really poor conditions. Bunkers need sand, 75% of them are rock hard bare soil. Greens are slow and have some sort of invasive weed in them making them bumpy. There isn’t really a true line to a put, you just have to get lucky for your put to wobble in off line. Fairways were half decent but the tee boxes had that invasive weed problem as well. Overall the course would be well worth its price if the conditions were back to it’s prime. Not worth the price right now, it’s best to find a course where a 2 foot put actually runs true and is not up to chance.

Solid choice - consistently good

Bull Run is one of my go-to courses in the area. Course is fun but challenging, conditions are usually above average and continue to improve. Would recommend. Comparable to Westfields and Stone Wall.

Course conditions need some help

Course has a great layout and practice area. Biggest issues are poor tee boxes and several bad patches on the fairway. Bunkers were hard pan with lots of rocks in there, not sand. Some repair on the cart paths needed as well. Nice course for $55. Not $80.
