Course Description

Established in 1993, Bristow Manor Golf Club is an 18-hole semi private golf club open to the public and also offers annual golf membership packages. Featuring some of the best course conditioning in Northern Virginia with luxuriously plush Zoysia-grass fairways, bent greens, and the signature 467-yard seventh hole — a par 4 locally voted as one of the Top Ten Toughest Holes in Northern Virginia — Bristow Manor Golf Club has established itself as the D.C. area's premier daily fee course. This Par 72 Championship Golf Course tops out at 7,102 yards with generous fairways, undulating greens, and a picturesque eighteenth hole framed by a bunker and a pond. The USGA rated the course 73.9 from the Back Tees, with a slope of 141. The Manor Pub is the on-site pub that serves at-the-turn-food to golfers, and casual lunch and dinner options to golfers and non-golfers. The Manor House is Bristow Manor Golf Club's signature 1800's southern style home used to host weddings and other private events.
