Update on our Operations and COVID-19 Protective Measures
At Reston National, the health and safety of our community, our neighbors and our guests is our top priority and we take the current public health situation surrounding the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) very seriously. We are diligently following the guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and observing all directives issued by local, state and federal public health authorities. At the present time, Reston National remains open, with some significant changes to our operations to follow the guidance recommended by the CDC and health care professionals.
We are currently working to implement the following precautionary and protective measures, guided by the best practices and guidelines issued by the CDC:
- Surfaces and/or materials that golfers or employees may come into contact are cleaned, sanitized and disinfected multiple times a day, using products that meet the EPA’s criteria for use against COVID-19

- The number of tee times are limited throughout the day to reduce bottlenecks on the course and strictly managed to eliminate any groups at the first tee
- Mats on the driving range have been re positioned to properly institute social distancing and separation between guests
- A “walkers” discount of $15 off of the 18 hole rates and $7 off of the 9 hole rates will be offered for those who walk the course

- Reston National Golf Course will close 45 minutes prior to sunset each day to allow the staff to properly disinfect.
As we are taking these precautionary measures, we are also asking and expecting our patrons to be responsible partners with us as well. We are requiring every golfer, employee and customer at Reston National to practice and maintain the recommended social distancing of six feet from another person. Anyone exhibiting the symptoms associated with COVID-19 will not be allowed on the property. While we are employing best practices and efforts to foster a positive golfing experience at Reston National, all guests and golfers on our property are making a personal choice to enter and play at the facilities, understanding that each individual is personally responsible for their own health and safety.
This is an evolving situation and we are staying in close contact with the Virginia Department of Health and other state officials as we go forward. We sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding as we all navigate these unprecedented times. With implementing these stringent protective and precautionary measures, we are hopeful that Reston National can continue to provide outdoor recreation and golf activities for your families and our community.
Thank you,
The Team at Reston National Golf Course
Covid FAQs
We appreciate the opportunity to give local residents an outlet to get fresh air and exercise in a safe environment. We pride ourselves in providing somewhere for our guests and employees to enjoy the game of golf, and we have opened with some very important changes designed to limit contact, transactions, and touch points to ensure everyone’s safety.
Please review these Frequently Asked Questions before calling the course.
Are you walking or riding?
We are requesting players in the same group pair up when possible. Single rider carts will only be allowed based on availability. If you are playing from the same household please ride together.
Single players paired in a group will have precedent for a single rider cart.
We are allowing walking tee times only 4 hours prior to sunset for 18 holes, 2.5 hours prior to sunset for 9 holes. Because we have effectively halved our cart fleet and the additional sensitization that each cart undergoes after use there may be a wait for riding tee times. Pull carts will also be available for rental.
Can I walk up and play?
We ask that all tee times be booked and paid for ahead of time. We are allowing walk-ups now that Virginia is in Phase 3. We are asking all guest to be mindful of others when waiting around. Please do not group together and socially distance between each other.
