Bristow Manor Golf Club

Bristow Manor Golf Club sits in the rolling countryside of Prince William County, Virginia, roughly 35 miles west of Washington, D.C. Designed by Ken Killian and opened in 1999, the course occupies former farmland that retains much of its pastoral character, with mature hardwoods, open meadows, and gentle elevation changes typical of the Virginia Piedmont. The layout takes advantage of the natural terrain, routing holes through corridors of trees and across open fields that provide long views of the surrounding landscape. Killian's design emphasizes strategic variety rather than overwhelming length, asking players to consider angles and club selection on approach shots. The course features a mix of hole styles, from tree-lined corridors that reward accuracy to more open holes where wind and ground contours come into play. Water appears on several holes, and the bunkering tends toward traditional shapes that frame landing areas and greens. The greens themselves offer moderate undulation, requiring careful attention on longer putts. Bristow Manor operates as a public facility, serving both local residents and visitors from the greater Washington metropolitan area. The course has hosted regional amateur events and remains a regular venue for area golfers seeking a well-maintained layout that balances challenge with playability. Its location in the outer suburbs places it within reach of the city while maintaining a relatively quiet, rural setting.
