I have never felt so defeated, mentally and physically, after a round of golf. That being said I loved it. The course is renowned for being difficult, so I decided that I was going to let it kick my butt and just take it all in. The course condition was honestly incredible, especially considering it's public. Not tons of divots, not tons of pitch marks, overall perfect condition. Only thing I wasn't a fan of were the bunkers. I really struggled to figure out why I couldn't hit out of them even though I'm usually good out of the sand. The design is incredible and the bunkering is beautiful. This is in my top 2 courses played and I will be back again for another whooping!

I like Reston National, it's a fun course with good thought-provoking holes. It's a good design when you think of how little land they had to work with. That being said, the condition when I was out last was not what I had expected from it. I know they're under new ownership but honestly it's just not good conditioning for what they had done in the past. The bunkers could use some work as well. Also they really jam a lot of people on the course, so pace of play can be rough at times, but not terrible. Hopefully the new ownership gets the condition back to what it was, because this is a good course otherwise.
