I play the course frequently with a friend and this past weekend the course was a bit crispy and dry around the edges. The lack of rain is starting to affect this course and many other we like to play. The greens are ok but showing signs of fatigue as well. Fairways are in good and the design is one of the best around in my opinion. Not worth the weekend morning price right now but still a decent play for a twilight round. Plus no houses around and that's hard to find anywhere in NOVA.

Still enjoy playing this course, but as others have said, the cicada wasps have really torn up several of greens. They're still playable, but very bumpy in places. Rest of the course is just fine but in my opinion not worth full price; especially on weekends. Still a fun course if you can play off peak times or with a coupon.

I played Pleasant Valley for the first time and really liked the layout. The people were friendly and the practice facilities are great. The course conditions are mixed right now. They have an infestation of cicada killer wasps that have effected the condition of 5-6 of the greens. Rest of the course is in great shape.

I've played it for years and love the layout but the current conditions are in private club caliber from tee to green. It's a popular track so book your tee times early in the week. Nice range and decent clubhouse.

Played yesterday and the course was in outstanding shape. Greens, fairways, tees and traps were in top notch shape. I really like the design, which is a good challenge but not super difficult. If you play the right tees you should have a great day at Pleasant Valley. Price is a bit steep for the weekend but is par with other daily fees in the area. I do prefer Pleasant Valley over their sister course South Riding. No houses on the course and the greens are not as severely sloped.

Overall condition was a B+. The greens were in good shape, but a little inconsistent in hardness. Because of the dry conditions my Lob wedge approach on number 1 hit the center of the green and went through. Other then that hole the rest of the greens were pretty receptive, but that first hole had me worried. The rest of the course was in good shape and the pace of play was actually good. I think we played a 4.5 hour round starting a 3:30. I enjoyed my overall experience.

New range mats! This was the missing piece to a wonderful golfing experience. The course was in great shape and it seems the management has heeded the advice of it's guests and improved the range with new balls and mats and an improved dedication to customer service! Will play it again very soon!

Played the course for the first time on Super Bowl Sunday. Course was in great shape. Even the sand was playable, despite all of the rain we have had. The course is challenging, scenic, away from homes and walkable. Much nicer than it's sister course, South Riding. Staff was friendly and very helpful. I would play here more often if it were a little cheaper; the only reason I didn't give it an Eagle rating. I highly recommend this course.

The course was in great shape this last weekend. One of the fee courses I've played that had some real rough with the drier conditions this year. Most fairways are open and fair, not to many blind shots. A good mix of risk reward and overall challenge. Some of the greens are tricky to read but if you can hit good shots you should have a few runs at birdie. The customer service was good and the range and practice area was OK. They really need some new mats on the range.

Made first venture here today. Course itself was in great shape especially considering drought we've had. Loved the layout and hole configurations, the greens could have been in a bit better shape but not bad. Bees inundating first green only so beware there. Fairways gorgeous. Check range first before you pay to warm up, if it's 'mats only' stay away! The uneven lie/crap mats will break your clubs and don't hold tees. Overall I rate it a solid 4 to 4.5 and will return!

Course was in good shape and the greens were rolling true. The rates were a little pricey.


Double Bogey

I know it’s early in the season but the course is in horrible shape. The fairways and rough have bare spots and the greens bumpy and uneven. It wouldn’t have been too bad if the rates were discounted but they charged the full rate. I used to love to play there but won’t be back anytime soon.

The course is in good shape. The greens are running quick and they are under new management. The fairways are lush and the bunkers are always raked. Lately the play is much faster with a typical 4 to 4 and a half hour round.

I've always enjoyed this course. A good layout and usually in excellent condition. Actually played here three times this year and loved it each time. Of course it's expensive, even with a play pass or coupon, but it's worth it. Nice mix of short and very long par 4's. Hole 18 is an excellent hole. Great design!

Course is challenging but fair. GPS on the carts is great. While I liked the speed of the greens, they are a little chewed up from the summer wear and tear. They also are having problems with boring bees on the greens. This is a problem with several of the Loudoun county courses that I have played this summer. The Saturday AM rates are a little too steep, but a Players Pass rate or a twilight rate is a good value.


Bogey

The course (fairways & tees) is in decent shape but the greens we're terrible. They are scuffed-up and covered with some kind of bug holes that create little sand piles all over the green. In addition the starter is a total grouch. I think it's a bit too expensive for the condition.

Nice course usually in good shape. Good layout without any homes near the course. Service is usually bad, south riding and pleasant valley are sister courses and share the same bad service. A bit overpriced but so are all the rest of the Fairfax "upscale" courses.

Nice course, but the worst service I've ever recieved playing golf. Staff was rude, and the place is a bit overpriced.

Played course on 10/28 and course was in great shape while in area on business. Even after the hot summer, the greens were in great shape. Good variety of holes throughout the course. GPS on carts nice feature as it gave distance from your cart to pin position, not center of green. Tough but fair course.

The greens are in the best shape I've seen at any course in VA area in a long time! Wounderful course, with some challanging water holes.

I have played this course many times, but when I played last week it was in better shape than I had ever seen. From fairway to green the course looked great. Kudos to the Super.

Great course, great conditions. The GPS system is a nice feature here. Get their Player's Pass and you can play here all year long rather inexpensively. My new home course.
