Brambleton Regional Park Golf Course

If you have the time, money and ability to play a better course then go for it. This is a solid county run course that I have been playing for 10 years or more. Relatively flat with some ups and downs to give it character and all of the greens are approachable. It’s not Amen Corner at the Masters but the pac of play is typically good, the caliber of the course lets just about any talent level play and the amenities are good for a local Muni. While I realize it feels a little steep to some people, its generally a much better deal than the other public courses.

Solid course which is lush from tee to green. The best thing about it is how walkable the course is (but you will be walking through a ton of goose droppings). The greens are usually in good shape, but they’re very slow. Regulars also call it «No Break Brambleton» because the greens are pretty flat, definitely the flattest I have seen in a very long time. One thing I liked is they grew out the rough, so it’s pretty penalizing. Tree lined course, but the hitting areas are pretty generous (except a couple of holes including a beast of a par 5 on the front 9). One hint, don’t cut the dogleg on 16. It won’t work/isn’t worth it.
Lastly, one putting green and one chipping green which are nice, although the putting green’s fringe leads to the first hole’s blue tee box. The range, in terms of mats and balls, might be the worst I’ve seen in Virginia. The mats are thin slivers so it feels like you’re hitting off of concrete. It’s definitely not good for the joints and hands. And $ 5.50 for 30 golf balls? No thanks.
Thankfully everyone I’ve met there has been extremely nice. They even have a marshal actually checking on the speed of play which was surprising for a muni. It’s a course I’d play at least once a year.

Played there on Wednesday morning, 5÷14÷14. Hadn’t played out there in well over a year. Noticed right away that they’ve spent some time on the course, at least in regards to my last visit. Tee boxes were great, fairways in excellent shape, and greens were very good. The green side bunkers though is where one will see the most improvement, very nice as compared to before. One thing I’ve always liked about this course is that they do let the rough grow — if you don’t hit it in the fairway, or miss a green, you could end up in the deep stuff — which I like!
Another big improvement I noticed was the service — in the past I wouldn’t say it was great, but today from check-​in, dealing with the starter, to the marshals, it was A+!
I’ll be back!

For the money, there is not a better course in the area. The round is inexpensive, while being challenging, well maintained, and providing plenty of risk –reward shots for all skill levels. On top of being a great course, Brambleton has a GREAT kitchen. I have been there several times and consistently Emmett, who has been running the kitchen every-​time I’ve been there, has always provided the best food for value in the area. I have played private and public courses all over, and no one has made a burger or sandwich as good as Emmett. So if you include how nice the course is, plus the value Emmett provides, why would you pay anywhere else at twice the price?

Probably the worst course I have ever played. Not so because the course was terrible but for varying reasons I will now list.
1: I felt the course was over priced $ 41 for twilight rate plus 15.50 a person for carts. For a total of $ 56.50 for 18 holes.
2: I arrived 20 minutes early as was requested by the course as I went out to collect my cart and speak to the starter. I was told that I had already missed my tee time even though I was 20 minutes early. Then the course added a walker into my group (even though it was just a friend and myself in a cart).
3: The tee times were spaced so close together that there was a huge pile up of players, had to constantly wait to tee off or get to the greens.
4: IMO I know this has been a very dry summer but for $ 56 for twilight I would have thought the greens would have been in a little better condition (huge amounts of aeration on the greens).
5: Last call was at 4:30 even though the course doesn’t close until dusk.
The only 2 positives I can add for this course is the beverage cart girl was very nice and helpful (beverages were reasonable) and Brambleton is a good course for beginners.

I’m a NVRPA member and have only played this course once, think it was summer of ’10. My home course is Algonkian and my league friends had decided it was a little too busy and wet to play at the «non-​draining» GONK.
Played Sunday 4÷3÷11
Surprised to see that Brambleton had already opened up the fairways to 90deg. Course seemed in great shape, but my friends were saying their lies were terrible. I’m roughly 50yards longer off the tee then them and never noticed any bad spots. Not one bad lie all day, never noticed any bare spots. To me the course was fantastic, except for the recently punched greens. Probably gave a couple of strokes away due to uneven putting lines and the occassional hop off punch holes. Landed in the bunker twice here and both times able to land it within 5ft of the hole (sand seemed very lose compared to The GONK).
Can’t wait til the greens recover from their spring punching. I’ll definately be out here again and again this summer.

it was 2^nd time picking up my clubs this summer and I was very rusty, lucky for me course was not too long even from blue tee box, 6764 yards.
Course didn’t have too much vertical nor drops but few sharp bank turns and long par 3 holes. Greens Fees are Monday-​Thursday — $ 30.00 Friday-​Sunday & Holidays– $ 37.00 with cart rental $ 27.17
Although green fee is fair but cart rental is a bit high, good thing course is short enough to walk.
Drink cart service was great, friendly, and beer was $ 3, it’s not surprise to see $ 4 ~ 6 in other golf course so it’s a great deal with green fee and beer as long you are ok with walking the course.
how did I play? a par, a par save, bunker 10/​18, longest drive (b/​c only one on the fairway)… shot 107 — haha
