They don't care about their players or 20+ year relationships!

Our golf league had a 20+ year relationship with Bristow on Tuesday nights at 5. They had a guaranteed 44 golfers playing, about half paying for range tokens, about half drinking beer during and about 10+ eating food and drinking beer after the round.

Bristow unceremoniously terminated our league ending a long standing relationship with the club for "financial reasons." We weren't given an opportunity to negotiate with the course to pay more than the $25 we were paying. Instead they cancelled us and now have a relationship with Spark where they're accepting $31 for a half empty league. I've asked our membership and they all have said that they would definitely have paid more to keep our relationship with Bristow.

In short, the new managers that are in place do not have any business being in their positions. One is in his position because of his relationship with ownership and the other is a golf pro who has no previous management experience.

We find it hard to believe that they would have turned their back on our 20+ year relationship, waved bye to guaranteed 44 players on a Tuesday night at 5, killed relationships with those 44 golfers and whomever we tell about the way we were treated. I won't ever play there and I would urge you to find courses that care about their players and charge prices that are commensurate with their geography and their conditions. It's not worth playing their for what they're charging for either reason.

We've found a home at a new local golf course that is overjoyed at having us. They're charging us the same fee AND including range balls and are actually modifying their offerings to entice our players to spend time at the course after our rounds.

We were surprised we were so rudely kicked to the curb by Bristow and so was our new course. They are over the moon that Bristow is so poorly run by people who don't understand human relationships and actual dollars and sense!

Nice but slow.

Course is in great shape, every green was nice to putt. Fairways and rough were extremely playable. Unfortunately a 5+ weekday round is unacceptable and unpleasant

Great Conditions

It had been a while since I had played here. But man, the course is in amazing shape. Fairways are lush Bermuda, ball sits up almost perfect every time. Greens were fast! I just couldn't get used to the speed. It would have received 5 stars if not for the condition of some of the bunkers. Even though it's about an hour away for me, I will be back

Despite no rain in 28 days, tithe course was in fantastic shape. Front nine very much target golf with risk/reward shots. Back nine very forgiving. Overall a fun course to play. We’ll be back next time we are in the area.

Great Course Conditions and Layout

Really enjoyed my time at this course. Great course condition with a fun, yet difficult layout. Pace of play was a little slow on the final 4 holes, but besides that, I had a great time.

Excellent condition

Bristow Manor Golf Course is in excellent condition. Began round at 0840 and front nine greens were very receptive. Greens putted true. Temperature warmed up and we noticed the back nine greens were a little firmer and approach shots rolled out some. Fairways were green and the rough was manageable. Only critique I had were the sand traps—many had limited sand and were rather hard packed. Course staff was courteous and friendly. I recommend playing this course given its great condition.

GREAT LAYOUT GREAT CONDITIONS

Just played 18 after two days of big rain and the course drained VERY well. Drove 45 min to play here and it was well worth it. Everything is clean in the pro shop, glizzy was fantastic, and the driving rage lets you hit off GRASS, thank God. The rough was thick but not unplayable, fairways and greens were great considering the recent downpour. I will play here again ASAP. Fun holes, fair greens and fairways, though the par 3’s were extremely long, I still had a great time. Carth path is confusing on the front 9 but I can’t complain too much. Check this place out if you can!
