Best course conditions

Tee through greens,by far the best course conditions I've played on this summer. Great value for the "hot deal" price. Challenging course with a little of everything.

Excellent golf course

Little far for me living in Tysons area, but great course for the price. It is beautifully designed and well maintained throughout. It has some nice 400+ yards par 4, that is really challenging.

Needs work

Used to love this course but it was in terrible shape on 03/15/24. I don’t think they have done any work on the course for the new year yet. Greens were awful with putts bouncing all over the place and fairway length grass. Many bunkers were completely full of water and unplayable. Going to give it a few months before going back. Hot dogs were good though.

Always Good!

Bristow is in my top 5 in NOVA. The conditions are always very good from tee to green. The staff are friendly and the draft beer is cold. What more could you want? My only continuing nitpick is the Gold tee box on the par 3 3rd hole. It has had a serious crown to it for as long as I can remember. Please flatten it out. I'll def be back!

This course was challenging but can be more fun once you play it a second time

I enjoyed every hole even though I didn’t play to the best of my ability. I will be back because of how nice the layout was and how great the ball rolled on each and every green.

Winter Time Gripes

$60…
Front nine in 2 hours.. not bad
Back nine in 2 hours and 40 mins… could be better
No course Marshall or starter

Course layout is unique
Par 5s are not attackable in 2
Couple par 3s play super long

Conditions…
Where to begin?
It is still winter, I know this, however, I don’t think they have mowed the greens or raked bunkers since summer 2023…
Terrible green speed, visually they look good but not the best to roll putts on
Bunkers either have too much sand or none at all with literal boulders in them
Drainage on the course is an issue, no rain for a week and there’s plenty of standing water
Cups look like they were cut a while ago, integrity of the edges were terrible
No sand on the carts to fill divots in fairways
Tee boxes were surprisingly immaculate

This course when taken care of can be awesome for fun, I just wouldn’t go out of the way to play it regularly since the conditions have been like this pretty consistently as of the last 6 months.

Slow

My buddies and I played bristow back to back weekends. Last weekend we teed off at 12:52 and couldn’t finish. This weekend we teed off at 12:20 and didn’t even sniff the 18th hole. This is completely unacceptable. Not to mention the golf carts could use some TLC.

When I say slow...

In the area visiting for Thanksgiving. Our tee time was 1250. A frost delay pushed us to 1:10. We made the turn at 4:05. Played 10 and as we played 11, a young worker was riding the course backwards telling everyone that carts had to be back by 4:45. Tried to get a rain check for the back 9 but when we got back to the clubhouse, it was locked up tight. I'll look somewhere else the next time I'm in the area.
