About Reston National Golf Course

Reston National Golf Course is a landmark public layout in Reston, Virginia, offering one of Northern Virginia's most consistently enjoyable golf experiences since the 1960s. Designed by Ed Ault and positioned within the original Reston planned community, the course features tree-lined fairways that wind through mature forest on gently rolling terrain. The design is classic Mid-Atlantic parkland — strategic rather than brutally difficult, rewarding thoughtful club selection and accurate iron play over raw power. Bunkers are well-placed to guard greens and landing zones, and the moderate-length layout plays differently depending on wind direction through the wooded corridors. Reston National's location near the Dulles Toll Road and the metro's Silver Line makes it one of the most transit-accessible golf courses in the DC area. The course has undergone multiple renovation phases to update drainage and greens infrastructure while preserving Ault's original routing. Weekend tee sheets fill fast given the captive Northern Virginia market, but the course's GolfNow inventory makes last-minute deals possible. A beloved institution in a community built around outdoor recreation.

History

Reston National Golf Course was designed by Ed Ault and opened in 1969 as part of Robert Simon's original Reston planned community concept. Simon envisioned golf as a key recreational amenity for his planned city, and Ault's routing through the wooded terrain helped define the character of Reston's natural landscape. The course has been a Northern Virginia institution for over five decades and remains one of the region's most-played public layouts.

Best for Reston and Herndon commuters seeking a convenient, classic parkland round with transit access and consistent quality.
