What Reston National Golf Course does

Reston National Golf Course is a 166-acre, 18-hole championship public golf facility located in Reston, Virginia, established in 1969 and operated by Kemper Sports Management, Inc. The course spans over 6,800 yards from the back tees with a par 71 layout and four tee options (Gold, Black, Silver, Red) accommodating all skill levels. Core infrastructure includes a driving range, short game practice area, putting green, a 150-seat grill room and covered pavilion (PinHigh restaurant), a fully stocked golf shop with TaylorMade Qi rental clubs, and five full-time PGA/USGTF-certified instructors operating The Learning Center. Technology features include FlightScope launch monitors for swing analysis, video analysis systems across instruction programs, and a planned technology-enhanced double-decked driving range with ball-tracking, virtual course simulations, and gaming features.

The business operates a multi-revenue-stream model: usage-based dynamic-priced green fees (senior rate $64 weekday, junior $30-$45, 9-hole $45), cart fees ($20), food and beverage (PinHigh restaurant, beverage cart, catering), golf instruction ($299-$1,599 per program across adult and junior tiers), annual memberships (5-Day at $5,000, 7-Day Junior at $1,500), corporate/group outings (20-144 players), and practice facility bucket sales ($10-$18). Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via Chronogolf online booking, phone reservations, and walk-in play, supported by website, Instagram, Facebook, and E-Club email marketing. Customer segments span general public golfers, corporate event clients (Oracle, Booz Allen Hamilton, NASA, FBI, CIA, Verisign, D.C. United), league players, junior golfers, adult learners, and annual members.

A major transformation branded RNGC Evolution is underway with Fairfax County approval (April 2026), encompassing course upgrades by Quitno Golf Designs, a technology-enhanced driving range, three-hole short course, and 306 stacked townhomes (34 affordable) developed with NV Homes—effectively diversifying the asset into a mixed-use golf/residential property while KemperSports continues operational management of its broader 240-course portfolio.
