Great course, tough challenge

There's a reason why the USGA continues to return to Worthington Manor to hold local US Open qualifiers, the course is in great shape, challenging, but fair. The main defenses are the greens, rough, and wind. Although the rough isn't that long, it's quite dense and can easily muffle a shot, which places a premium on finding the FW. However, even hitting a GIR isn't a guaranteed birdie or par. You definitely need to put your approach shot in the proper quadrant and below the hole. Otherwise, good luck! The course is in great shape despite the heat this summer, which makes you wonder why other courses can't keep pace. The price is reasonable given the course - it's a good deal.

A good, wide open course

Musket Ridge has a good layout, not too many blind/tricky tee shots, and is in fairly good shape given the summer weather. Pace of play was rather slow, waited on every shot, but we still finished in 4:45, so not terrible. Greens were soft (surprisingly), but FWs slightly firm, which was great for rollout. Definitely judge elevation changes appropriately, especially off the 1st tee - it plays 20-30 yards shorter than expected.

Once Great, Now Bust

Bull Run used to be a great course, but this summer and poor maintenance has absolutely killed the FWs. The greens are in decent shape, but pretty much every FW could be marked "ground under repair." Save your money and visit another course until Bull Run can hopefully make a return to its prior glory.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We at Bull Run are working hard to recover from a difficult summer that has affected our fairways and green surrounds. Given that our course has cooler season bent grass as our primary fairway and green surface, summer is our most difficult time of year insofar as conditions are concerned. With our historic recent heat, his summer has been particularly difficult. Repairs to affected areas are underway and will continue into the fall. We look forward to seeing you again as we continue to bring conditions back to level that we expect at Bull Run.
