One of the Worst Courses in Northern Virginia Reston National is by far one of the most poorly maintained golf courses I’ve played — especially given the high price point. The bunkers are a joke, with grass growing out of them like they haven’t been touched in weeks. The course overall feels neglected, with constant gnats swarming you the entire round. Bring bug spray — and expect to reapply it four or five times just to stay sane. What really sets this place apart (in a bad way) is the constant interruption from kids running across the greens and fairways due to the nearby housing. It completely kills the atmosphere and makes it hard to focus on your game. Save your money and play almost anywhere else. This course isn’t worth it.

If I could give this golf course a ZERO I would. Played there 2 weeks ago on a Saturday and let me just say this...."DON'T PAY TO PLAY HERE!!!" The tee boxes were garbage, never played a course that actually had fairway rough (as we called it), and the pace of play was the worst I've ever seen in the Northern VA area. The course ranger was actually part of the maintenance crew. And the golf carts are 1 break away of a lawsuit. Breaks didn't work and trying to cross the road was playing with your life. If they are going to sell this place, then sell it, but don't charge almost $70 for this place. Once was a great place to play...now STAY AWAY!

Convenient location but it’s not where you want to golf. There’s too much good golf in NOVA to want to spend your money here. Save this golf course and get someone that cares in here instead of developers that will turn this in to townhomes and condos!

Course is horribly maintained. Terrible water management (huge puddles on the greens and on cart paths). Tee boxes and greens were mud with a bit of grass (see pics). Horrible.

I haven’t played this course in over two years. I remember it as always being in good shape, well maintained and fun to play. Today I played it for $65 which included range balls and I was both dismayed and disappointed by the condition of the course. Not worth playing for half the price, maybe not even for free. The following were a disgrace, the tee boxes, the bunkers, the rough. Tee boxes were over grown, some covering the tee box markers , others bare or with patches of grass. Bunkers hard as a rock and it looked like they had never bent raked, Greens needed to be cut; forget about trying to gauge ball speed. The grass in the rough was so long and thick that you felt like you were in a cow pasture. I will never come back. No pride at all in maintaining this course.
