Bull Run Golf Club , measuring just under 7,000 yards at par 72, is an 18-hole championship golf course featuring wide fairways and bunkers set well back from the greens. Opened in 1998, Bull Run is set on a huge piece of open land in the foothills of Virginia's Bull Run Mountain. We are a quick drive from Washington, D.C., a few miles north of Haymarket, and a few miles south of Middleburg. Where the typical golf course covers an area of around 125 or so acres, Bull Run stretches across more than 450. There is plenty of room here for the flora, fauna, and fish...as well as the golfers. Our renowned architect Rick Jacobson designed this course with the player in mind. From the back tees, the course at Bull Run Golf Club is difficult enough to challenge the best hitters, especially if the greens are set with some tough pin locations. There are also wide fairways here with excellent views of where your next shot is supposed to land and there are often run-up options to greens.
