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.

Super course

Long and challenging. Great layout.

Unfortunately players apparently dont repair divots or ball marks although I can’t hold the course accountable for that.

Tough to get tee times and I can see why. Must play again.

Great Course!

I’m a big fan of Laurel Hill. One of the best public courses in the area. If you’re a low handicap golfer, the black tees will give you a solid but fair challenge. They also have a nice range and short game area.

King of the DC/NoVa munis

This is a difficult golf course and operates at a different level (and price point) than other municipally owned courses in the area. Laurel Hill is long, long, long, so study the scorecard carefully when selecting what tee to play.

If you like your course big and brawny, this is your course. However, there are a few breather holes, like the short 7th par 4 and the wide-open and reasonably short 10th. But forced carries and extreme elevation changes will test you on 3, 6, 12 and 17. One drawback to the forced carries is that this is NOT a walkable course, as the paths take you well away from the direct line from tee to fairway.

The County does a good job keeping conditions here at a high-end level, but they typically charge high-end prices. There is an excellent driving range and short-game practice area available.

Great Course - Good Value

I live about 15 minutes from the course. Best course in Fairfax County. Good deals, great staff, nice practice range. I already booked my next round there, and I can't wait.

Just an awesome course. Great mix of interesting holes: a fun drivable par 4 7th with a thoughtfully bunkered green, uphill and downhill and short and long par 3s, a couple of really challenging par 4s (#3 and #17 in particular), some gettable holes that require a really good short iron/wedge in (#2, #10, and #12), two reachable par 5s (#5 and #9) and two that require 3 good shots (#15 and #18). No throwaway holes on the entire course. The course is in really good shape for the mid-summer heat and all the play every course seems to be getting this summer (greens do have a lot of ballmarks but the fairways and rough are well kept, the tee boxes are in great shape, and the greens are still above average). And the practice facilities are fantastic. Definitely one of the best courses in the DC area!

Great course. Difficulty comes from sheer distance. Plays very long. Ton of elevation change, more than any other course I’ve played in the area.

Challenging but in good condition

This is a good course but with hot weather, rain, and water some of the holes were very soggy.

Overall a high quality golf experience.

Only completed seven holes due to stormy weather. Those seven holes were excellent. I look forward to returning to complete my round.

Great Course - Well Managed

Course was one of the best I’ve played in the area. Conditions were great, even with the dry conditions we’ve had lately. Big, well-kept range and all staff was very friendly and helpful. Pace was quick until the last few holes, but the rangers did everything they could to keep people moving. Will definitely be heading back here soon.
