Laurel Hill Golf Club has some of the best conditions of any public course in the area, which is why it is popular amongst the locals. It is hard to believe that the club sits where the DC Department of Corrections facility at Lorton used to be located. The layout has a traditional design, but unlike older golf courses it runs a lengthy 7,102 yards from the back tees. The greens are lightning fast and undulating. There is defined contouring throughout the course, which allows for some interesting holes. Although the fairways are wide open they are still punishing towards errant shots. There are dramatic elevation changes throughout the golf course, making a flat lie nearly impossible to find. The course provides a formidable test for even the most seasoned players.

Just OK conditions

Spotty and bare spots on the greens, and fairways are wet. I guess the course dose not drain very well, since we did have any rain in the area for more than a week.

I also notice that a lot of people do not fix divots on the greens and fairways.

Course Conditions not good right now

Due to the extreme heavy rains and very hot weather, the course is not in very good shape right now and a lot of the turf appears to have died. It's a shame the prices do not reflect the poor condition, but perhaps they are keeping prices high to keep play low. Hopefully, they will have the course back in shape within a month or so. Still fun to play if you don't mind lift and place on fairways and greens.

Really Really Really Bad

Course is in awful shape. Don't know if this is due to weather, disease, lack of attention or a combination of the three but charging premium rates is pretty brazen considering the course is just a mess. On top of this they've adopted some ridiculous rules. You can't take your cart to the driving range. You can't use range balls on the chipping green. Just stupid stuff.

Conditions are horrible!

Conditions are terrible and it is criminal they are charging full price. Very disappointed and will not be back. Course is in the worst shape I have ever seen it. Fairfax County should be ashamed for charging full price. Stay away. Go to Westfields or Raspberry Falls for the money this joke course is charging. Staff and conditions are night and day better than Laurel Hills. So disappointed.

A Great Course for Northern Virginia

Bill Love has given Northern Virginia a superb course with a great design. IMHO, this is the top-daily fee course in In region (with the possible exception of Raspberry Falls). Despite the onslaught of thunderstorms leading up to the day I played, the course was very playable and maintained its integrity despite being waterlogged. It was a nice way to conclude my vacation before returning to California.

poor condition

I have played this course since it opened 20 years ago and this was the worst condition I've ever seen it. Many dead spots on greens and fairways. Very disappointed as this been one of the best public courses in Fairfax county and charges premium prices accordingly. Not worth it in present condition

Course Conditions not as Good as in the past

We only got to play 14 holes because of rain and thunder. This course is usually in great condition but this time it was not. Many brown patches in the fairways and on the greens. The greens were also very slow. The price is expensive and we were disappointed in the conditions.

Range and putting green are very nice.

burnout fairways from the heat wave

sadly the hot humid weather has killed most of the fairways and greens. The course needs a few days off but as a municipal course, they won't do it. But many fairways are now turning to mud with torn up and dead grass The greens are brown and just mushy. 14 is near unplayable right now.

For this price, sorry guys, not worth it at all right now. It needs closing and having a week off.

Beat up

I play this course a couple of times every year, and love the layout, this is the worst it’s ever looked and played, greens were unmowed and slow, unrepaired ball marks all over

Solid

Great public course. A bit pricey when compared to other solid tracks nearby, but worth the extra dough. Well maintained, challenging, and long.

Great course for out of town player

I enjoyed playing the course. The course offered the challenges needed for a quality round of golf. I’d recommend playing with someone who knows the course well and plays at the level of your game.

The driving range could have been better maintained. It needs updating. The greens rolled on an average. Seemed slow compared to the greens I play in Texas. The sand bunkers were thin on sand. Could use more sand to offer a more consistent play thru the 18 holes.

Overall I’d recommend this course to anyone. Next time I’m in town I certainly plan on playing this course again.
