Reston National Golf Course

The neighbors are EVERYWHERE! I am not exaggerating. There were 3 people that crossed the fairways with dogs, one of which was pooping on the course. There was a man who stood in the bushes 20yards forward of the tee box on 15; we didn't see him until our second tee'd off. Even after we asked if he was trying to cross he said no and just lurked in the bushes. He then followed us up the hole. There was a man with his toddler biking. They were on the cart path pin high on a 200yd par3 WELL within the path of a stray. Don't believe me? I got a picture after they biked past us on our approach to the green. It seems like the neighbors want the course closed and are doing it on purpose. The course needs to manage it because it's horrible. Fence the entire course. It's only a matter of time before one catches a line drive. And it ruins the game. Not to mention the cart they gave us kept giving a check engine light and had to be push started at one point. The food cart drive by once when we were on hole 3 with a cooler tied to a normal cart. The round was over 5 hours. Two of the last holes look straight into the afternoon sun making it impossible to track your ball flight. Not coming back until they figure out how to keep the neighbors out. Maybe not coming back even after that. Definitely the worst course I've played in MD or VA and I've played almost all of them.

Great course layout. They came down on their prices to be in line with other courses in the area which is why I started coming back here. Unfortunately, I can't return here until they fix the pace of play. I've played 2 of the last 3 weekends and each round has been a 5 hour pace of play. Tee times need to be spaced at least 12 minutes apart to ensure a good golfer experience. It's ridiculous to stack this many people on top of each other. We're waiting 5 minutes on the tee box every hole, and I see a lot of other groups of golfers very frustrated about how the tee times are packed in as well. That's just poor tee time management and is something that could easily be fixed. It's just not fun to golf like this. Once they fix the weekend pace of play, I'll definitely be back.

The course itself is nice. But nothing else about the experience is worth it. During the main golf season, it is $100 for a tee time but you will be on the course for 5+ hours. There’s no enforcement of pace of play despite the hefty fees. A hot dog in a stale bun was $8.50. It’s very expensive for a very poor experience. You are better off municipal courses for far less money.

Here’s the truth. The course should be embarrassed to charge $74 to play there any day of the week. Let alone a Tuesday at noon. The worst course I’ve played this year. I’ve only ever played one worse course. I was not familiar with this course and brought clients here. I spent most of the time apologizing for how poorly the course was maintained. Just avoid this place at all costs unless you’re paying $40 or less. Yes, that’s the ceiling value here.

I played here maybe 5 yrs ago and loved it. Popped up to DC from Florida today and was looking forward to playing Reston National again. Wow! What a disappointment. Tee boxes are either patches of long grass or patches of dirt. Fairways have been mowed to what would be first cut of rough on a legitimate golf course. Rough is just neglected grass. Watch your ball roll off the fairway and it will still be tough to find. Not a strategic length....just neglected Greens are fury with acceptable pace but there are ball marks, scrape marks, and glumps of cut grass blocking your roll to the hole. This is a rip off from a commercial perspective. From a golf perspective, this course is disrespectful to golfers and the game of golf.
