Played 18 holes in 5 hours and 30 minutes which is slow for Algonkian. Nice tree lined park land course which normally has the rough mowed down to a reasonable length to make it easier to find balls and keep the pace of play up. Tee boxes were in good shape, fairways were in great shape, and greens were slow from moisture but were in pretty good shape as well.

The course was in good condition and was challenging but not too difficult. The rough was cut short which made it easy to find balls and kept the pace of play up. Of course amenities were slow.
Overall I would recommend the course and play again.

I usually enjoy playing Algonkian because it has a moderately challenging layout, but they keep most of the areas under the trees mowed. This makes it easy to find your ball and keeps the pace of play moving. However, today it was windy and leaves were blowing everywhere. I lost three balls just from the leaves and several members of my foursome lost even more.

A truly hot day, but the course stood up well to the baking heat and humidity. Over 100F, but the pace of play was great. No waiting to tee off. The greens were slower than normal but the fairways rolled nicely. The rough needed to be mowed, I lost two balls and I saw the area where they landed! Couldn't find balls in the rough unless you were standing right on top of them.

The greens were a combination of fast and slow enough to make every putt a guess. The greens were uniformly rock hard, making holding the green virtually impossible. The tee boxes were also rock-hard clay covered by some grass. The cart paths are even worse than you could imagine from all of the comments about them.
The staff was super friendly, but the course condition was too rough to make the round enjoyable.

The course was in great condition considering the amount of play and the wet weather over the previous few days. The greens were very soft and receptive. The fairways rolled very well.

Course was in great shape. Tee boxes, fairways, and greens were all fast and firm. Greens were super fast, but rolled true. Very difficult to get the ball to hold the greens on approach shots, especially since many were blind shots to the green. I would recommend that the course post yellow direction aid flags to help with blind shots. Definitely a course that you need to play frequently to know where to hit the ball. Very challenging if you don't play there often. Staff were very friendly on the course, in Golf Shop, and in the Tavern.

Heavy rain for several days before, but Brambleton was in very good shape. The greens were soft, but rolled good. Speed picked up as the day went on. Fairways are in great condition with rough recently mowed to a reasonable level which helps the pace of play. Enjoyed my round.

The greens are in great shape. The fairways are also in great shape for all the rain we had over the past few days. The course drained awesome because course was 90 degrees.

Course is in good shape for time of year. Lots of play, tee boxes show it. Greens are typical NOVA, many players don't fix ball marks. I was paired with guy from California and he commented "Wow, you guys don't fix your ball marks do you?" Come on players, let's take care of the greens we love to play on.

Fast greens with lots of slopes made putting a true challenge. Tough shots into small greens requires full attention to place the ball in the right spot.
First time playing here and with three different 9 holes you will never play the same 18 holes twice. I had a great day, but I will plan on more time next time. 4 hours for 14 holes.

1757 is a good layout with great service. But tee times every 8 minutes and Starter stacking singles and twosome without pairing them up makes for a very slow round. I had a 10:30 am tee time and round took 4 1/2 hours ON A THURSDAY! No Rangers on the course to organize things either. Luckily the cart girl came around frequently or I would have gotten heat stroke. Greens recently aerated, but well sanded and rolled so putting was true. Fairways are in great shape, but fringe very ragged.

Brambleton is in the best condition that I have ever seen in all the years I have played there.. They obviously put the shutdown to good use for some well needed maintenance. Greens rolled very true.

Course was in very good shape, but the golfers need to fix their pitch marks on greens. I don't know what the problem is with NOVA, but people just won't fix their pitch marks (even huge ones that are easy to see).
I really like the layout of the course. Very different from the others in the area. Municipal course so the bunkers don't drain and the sand is more dirt, so I use my Lob Wedge to pitch out.
Fairways are ample, but rough is long due to rain.
Greens keepers roll the greens every day, so early rounds roll very true. Later rounds get a little bumpy due to pitch marks.
Overall, Brambleton is a lot of fun and I always enjoy playing there.

Heavy rain the night before, so cart path only. Fairways were in good shape, but greens were a little patchy due to all the rain in April. I walked the course for Social Distance guidelines. No problem keeping up due to cart path only, but I don't think I would walk Raspberry Falls again (very hard terrain).
Had a great round, very enjoyable.

I love Bull Run but don't get out there often enough. Course can be tough in places, but it's very difficult when you can't even warm up before your round. The first time you actually hit a ball is on the first tee (forced carry over water) and you better be on or you will be off to a bad day.
Rest of the course is as expected for end of season, but it would have been nice to know that we were going to have a cold start.

Algonkinian is a basic public course that tends to be towards the west side. Was in surprising good shape on Columbus Day and the greens were great. They were relatively smooth and ran true.
Altogether it was a very good round of golf and better than most courses in the area.

1757 is a challenging but fair course that is a lot of fun to play. The course has excellent practice facilities, especially the shot game area. The only issues are with the other players who don't bother replacing divots in the fairways or repairing ball marks on the greens.

Tee boxes and greens are well groomed, but fairways have been heavily used with no sand or grow mix in the carts. Still good value for the money.

Fast greens and long rough made for a challenging round. We were able to get through 18 holes in just under 4 hours on a Saturday. Great pace of play.
