Broad Run Golf and Practice Facility

Had a great time at the driving range. Brian the man at the front desk was very helpful. They have 3 bucket sizes it was about 12 dollars for the large bucket. The range has both covered and uncovered areas. The covered areas come with heaters which are definitely nice during chilly weather. Don’t worry about if you don’t have clubs they will let you borrow some. The only down side is that they don’t always seem to stick to the hours listed on their website. I still would recommend this place for a good time.

Family went to play mini-​golf, looking for a better experience than the place on Mathis Ave. unfortunately, this isn’t much better. Staff in the club house was pleasant enough, but otherwise a double bogey experience. The course layout is very nice, but looks very unkept. There are nets present for cleaning the waterfalls and pools, but they appear unused. Leaves and sticks litter every putting green, I guess to increase the «challenge» of the game. The green fabric on the putting areas is ripped, mud-​covered in places, and some have broken concrete ridges, further adding to the «challenge.»
Oh, and the conditions are the same as they were the previous visits. Probably won’t be any more.

This review is only for the putt putt course. I don’t consider myself a miniature golf expert but I’ve played plenty at the beach. This one is a complete mess. Overgrown landscaping and dead bushes with occasional poison ivy mixed in. Dirty greens with tree debris and mud. Golf clubs were cracked and falling apart. I brought my son here a few years ago for his birthday party and don’t remember the course being this bad. Probably won’t be back. We joked that it seemed no one had taken care of the place in years.

This is a very difficult miniature golf course with no landscaping to speak of next to a noisy 4-​lane highway. The expensive pricing system needs to be revised. You pay $ 6.75 which allows you to play all day. I can’t imagine very many people play more than one round on this course. They should offer a less expensive one-​round fee, say $ 4.50 as an option. The manager said it is their biggest money-​maker, and I can believe it! I will not be back.

These guys are awesome, from lessons to practice (they have not only outdoor and covered ranges but short practice and putting), to the course itself. Great for a beginner golfer like myself but enough challenges for the more advanced. No intimidation factor here, either.
The icing on the cake came when I visited to get some practice in on the range. I hadn’t hit a ball all winter but was heading to Hilton Head in a few days to play golf with my dad. I really, really, really needed the practice! When I arrived, the guy behind the counter broke the bad news — they were out of balls since the ground was still snow-​covered and they hadn’t been able to rake them up. Seeing the disappointment on my face, the other guy there jumped in and volunteered to find me a large bucket from the lesson program. Day saved!
There are many fancier places in the area, but Broad Run will go the extra mile for their customers!

I am a member of broad run for almost a year. I was trying to have a good time with my twin brother until management made the whole experience sour. I am considering a lawsuit due to the fact that I have witnesses on this event. So every staff member knows how many balls I hit when I’m there I hit roughly about 6 to 8 buckets some days. I asked for four and my brother was fully aware that he had to pay for range balls. He kept questioning me on the fact I can’t share the balls. I already know that. Then when I saw that my brother was running low, I went back up to buy one more bucket and he then accused me of sharing my range balls. Why would I go up to buy a bucket of range balls if I was sharing my batch? He did this in front of other customers. I felt embarassed and felt being wrongly accused. If Billy Casper Golf consider a general manager that wrongly accuse and bullys the customers as an asset, then really soon, I will get the information needed to make this lawsuit happen. This cannot be tolerated. I am in retail management and that was totally unacceptable. I usually don’t write bad comments, but this person deserves it!!!

Great course. Friendly accommodating staff good pace of play and for December the course was in good shape. With four tee boxes fun for every skill level, open fairways but trick greens. Enjoy!

Most visits I only hit the range, however this review is mainly for the 9 holes they have. For a short 9 holes, the course is in remarkable shape. Kudos to the grounds staff. There is enough variety and challenge in the holes to make it a very enjoyable outing. The only drawback is it is pretty short, but what can you expect from a practice 9 right?

The DP golf academy camp is great, pricey, but worth the money for kids. The instructor and his assistants are great, and my kids actually learned something and enjoyed it. The kids get nice hats, and achievement pins, and a very informative and educational book to guide them through the fundamentals of golf. This is the only part of this establishment that keeps me coming back.
The driving range is decent. They have a covered range for hot or rainy days– nice bonus. It is clean, there is a lot of parking, never seems to be overcrowded. Your view will be of a busy highway. Nothing peaceful and relaxing about it.
The mini golf is eh. For the price, its nothing special. The day we went, none of the water features were on, waterfall was off and all the water holes/​ponds were swampy and black water. The trashcans at every hole were full, and my son was stung by a yellow jacket hive surrounding the trash. It is run down, and needs some improvements. After completing the course, I mentioned my disappointment to the front desk, the GM was within ear shot and completely ignored me.
I have been coming to this facility for a few years now, this season the management has changed and I am not impressed. Lazy, no personality, and always hiding in their office.
If they are going to require that you don’t bring your own drinks/​food to their course, they should probably hire someone to run their, eh, «snack stand»? Standing around, waiting for someone to come ask you for your order, then waiting 15 – 20 minutes for a cardboard pizza is a bit of a joke. The prices are a bit unrealistic as well. 1 mile down the road in the Target shopping center there are several great places to eat/​drink.
If you are looking for a place to smack some balls, not a bad choice. If you are looking for a place to get warm fuzzies about coming back to and feeling like you are welcome and appreciated… keep looking.

Broad run has an absolutely beautiful practice facility, with a solid nine holes to boot. It also has a mini golf course which I have never occasioned to play. The driving range is massive with room to spare even on the busiest of days. It has numerous targets and distance markers as well as numerous hazards. The putting green is well kept and lit with a half a dozen targets. The chipping area is copiously designed with flat areas, highly graded areas, as well as bunkers. The one drawback to the chipping area is that it seems abused by the customers, manifested by the number of divots on the green.
The course itself is beautiful with Bald Eagles, ponds, and all other manner of flora and fauna. It is diligently maintained in defiance of its heavy use. Greens are generally «green» as they should be, fairways well trimmed and alive, and tee boxes rotated and healed. The layout was well crafted with appropriately placed bunkers both around the sides of the fairway as well as guarding the green. Water hazards should not affect a decently placed shot, but could cause trouble in a couple of places when trying to «go for it.»
One major deficiency in the course is its being a par 35, nine making it a par 70 if playing eighteen. The good conditions combined with the consistently decent pace of play might make up for this. As a practice facility, and nine holes to practice the game, this place is impeccable. The employees try to be helpful and friendly, though many know not the difference between a wood and an iron.
As a final thought, I walked this course today for a full eighteen, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The course is walker friendly with gentle slopes on the path with a few shortcut trails. Whilst walking today, I had my most enjoyable experience on this course.

I really enjoy this practice facility!
It has it all for you! Great well kept 9 hole course that is by far one I the best in NoVa! Tons of bays to practice at with some having heaters for the winter! Grass tee are also available in the summer too! There have a short game area and a good putting green!
There is also a fun putt putt course which keeps the kids and wife happy!
It a well thought out place with friendly staff and kids camps plus coaching available!
Definitely the best practice area around!

Simply the best well kept 9 hole course that I’ve played in Northern VA. Par 35, so it’s basically a full front 9 at other courses and in MUCH better condition than a lot of courses.

The course is in very good shape and is as nice a nine as you will find in the area. While on the short side (around 6,000 yds.) from the tips it has some very challenging holes for a mid handicapper. One of the few nits are the sand traps which could be maintained a little better. Pace of play can also be an issue as this place is a favorite for beginners and for golfers who don’t get out much.
A great practice facility and very reasonable.

I love this course and especially their practice facility. It’s a great place to go and work on your game.

starting to get into golf and this was my first stop. I have never been to any other golf course and I only went to the driving range today. From that stand point I had a great time with my brother. After we were done I was looking for a bar but couldn’t find one. That would be the only thing I dislike.

A Groovy golf experience.
I moved to Manassas in Oct and have been waiting for the weather to turn so I could get out and knock around that little white ball.
This is a well maintained and operated facility and course.
Me & mi hijo hit a bucket on the driving range and then played 9 holes.
Great range, I like that they have the colored flags so that you can test your accuracy and range.
The 9 hole course gives you two par 5, three par 3’s and four par 4’s.
A nice mix, several elevated tee boxes and quite challenging with a fair amount of water and bunkers.

I just played 9 holes here the other day and I have to say I really enjoyed it. The course has a nice regulation layout and its still very walkable. It certainly a great course especially if you are a beginner still trying to get quasi decent at their game. I played later on Saturday morning, and didn’t feel rushed at all. I will certainly come back and play again.

This is truly a practice center. The driving range is huge, they have a short game area on the other side of it that is lit as well. The putting green is large and rolls true. Have not tried the putt putt but it looks clean and well kept. I play the 9 hole course here at least 10 times a year. During the week, it is a good place for a quick round with conditions that rival any other course in the area. Depending on the tees you pick it can be fairly easy or moderately difficult. If you are looking for upscale golf with a slope over 130, you might be disappointed. The only things keeping this place from 5 stars are the weekend prices are obnoxious for the course and some of the staff I have run into have been beyond rude, especially the marshals.

This is an incredibly spacious driving range with a wide range of places to tee off (in the sun, out of the sun, facing the highway, not facing it, under a roof, not under a roof — haha see??).
Nicely kept grounds, good prices on buckets of balls.

Very clean area. Very elegant as well. Lots of ample parking.
Their driving range is really nice looking.
I’ve played their miniature golf. it’s quite fun. it’s very clean as well and is pretty big.
This miniature golf place is more ‘classy’. and not cheesy. so if you’re looking for windmills or obstacles. I suggest checking out Woody’s in Reston, VA or Magic Putting Place in Manassas, VA.
