DC Area Golf Courses

Bull Run Golf Club

3520 James Madison Highway
Haymarket, VA 20169
866-Bull-Run

"In the heart of Virginia’s horse country, just minutes away from historic Civil War sites, you’ll find Bull Run Golf Club, one of the Washington, D.C., area’s most outstanding golf courses. We have lots of awards to our credit: Golf Magazine named Bull Run as the best new public course in 1999; the Washington Times called us the 'best public course in the D.C. area' in 2000; and Washington Golf Monthly named us to the mid-Atlantic’s '100 Must-Play Courses.' Here’s why golfers love Bull Run: Ours is a very scenic course that meanders through acres and acres of undeveloped scenic meadows, ponds and woodlands. Where the typical course covers an area of 120 to 130 acres, ours stretches across more than 450. There is plenty of room here for the flora, fauna and fish as well as the golfers."

Westfields Golf Club

13940 Balmoral Greens Avenue
Clifton, Virginia 20124
703-631-3300

"Carved through natural wetlands, rolling hills, and majestic beech and oak trees, Westfields offers golfers a setting that is virtually free from distraction. No residences line its links, creating a course that is truly a golfer's dream.

All of this, together with the kind of service typically found only in private golf clubs, makes Westfields a place where golf enthusiasts can always enjoy a great round of golf."

Raspberry Falls Golf & Hunt Club

41601 Raspberry Drive
Leesburg, VA 20176
703-779-2555

"As you encounter our rambling streams, bunkers, stone walls and spectacular rolling terrain you’re almost going to you feel that you’ve traveled across the Atlantic to play golf in the British Isles. And yet you’re in Virginia’s horse country with vistas of the Catoctin Mountains in the background 'This site was made for a golf course,' says Gary Player, the designer of this beautiful layout. And Player...truly succeeded here in using the natural features of the land — the hills and knolls, the native hardwoods, the indigenous rock outcroppings and the spectacular vistas — to create one of Virginia’s finest courses.

Our 7,191-yard, par-72 layout rambles through what was called 'Raspberry Plain,' which during the 18th century was one of the most fertile plantations in all Virginia. Several sets of tee boxes make the course a treat for golfers of all skill levels."

Tournament Players Club at Avenel

10000 Oaklyn Drive
Potomac, MD 20854
301-469-3700

"Stretching over 220 acres of rolling countryside nestled in the Avenel Community development in Potomac, Md., the TPC at Avenel has earned its reputation as one of the area's top golf clubs for personal and business entertainment.

The course opened with immediate fan-fare as PGA TOUR player Arnold Palmer put the 239-yard par-3 third hole in the record books when he made consecutive holes-in-one on this hole in the 1986 Chrysler Cup. It was the first time back-to-back aces were recorded on any professional tour."
