Rating 74.6

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.

Great course but customer service could improve

Great course but definitely not a great place to relax afterwards with the staff acting like they don’t want you there

First Time Playing

I had a great time.

First time playing the course — I had a great time!

Immediately met by kind people at check in and at the starter station. Very efficient and clear with procedures. I appreciated the free warm up range balls.

As mentioned by other reviewers the course was long on some holes (combo of distance and elevation) — I played white tees. I normally drive 250yds and was glad to make par on some through short pitch/chip and putt. However the fairways were comfortably wide, with traps to punish only the most pushed or pulled shots.

Beautiful holes and maintenance.

Greens were great! And much faster and contoured than I was used to on weaker muni courses. However practice green by clubhouse was fair representation. I recommend a few minutes earlier to take advantage.

Pace of play was perfect! My group (I was single matched with others) didn’t need to wait more that a minute ore two on one or two holes for those ahead of us to clear. This could have been because of individual carts due to protective Covid measures or timing distribution. Whatever it was, it worked very well.

Very fun!

Thank you!

Best in the area that I've played, hands down!

First of all, I rarely play through the week but I had A-day off so I decided to go and played this gem. Didn't check out the clubhouse much at all with the current situation but everything else was just great. The practice green was super smooth and fast. I was hoping the course greens were the same way and they were. PRISTINE CONDITIONS! The fairways were excellent also. Great pace of play and all. This will not be my last time.

too long, ridiculous rough in/around bunkers on #5

Some holes from the white tees were ridiculously long. 440yds par 4. 566 par 5.

Most irritating was hole #5. They have bunkers on the left side near and around the green. there were probably 6 or more fairway/greenside bunkers there. That's ok. What's NOT OK was the RIDICULOUS junk/weeds/high grass framing the bunkers. Seriously....the bunkers are already a hazaard but NOT MOWING OR MAINTAINING the WEEDS between the bunkers? cmon, its already a hazard but placing a hazard within a hazard is STUPID,

they had the same situation at Bristow Manor a few years ago and i wrote the same complaint to the GM there and a few months later, they removed the hazard within the hazard.

Love the course layout! Great condition. Sand in the traps was the best I’ve seen this year. Only negative comment would be the geese droppings all over the 16th green. First time I’ve played here. Definitely would like to return.

Great Round of Golf

The course was a little crowded, but people kept their distance and the staff were helpful in moving people along. The greens were in good condition and the course in general was very nice.

Nice Course and Members are Friendly

When ariving the people who work there are very courteous and welcoming. Since we only had two people, we were paired up with another member who was very nice. I do not pretend to be good or decent at golf. The course was nice and wide (for all the times I topped the ball and slice it). The course is very well maintained and overall was an enjoyable time.

Great track, tough from back

Great golf course, in good shape, greens ran true definitely quickened up later in the day. Fairways are generous but tough can be punishing. I would like to play it again, I think front tees are user friendly for higher handicaps, the back tees are a test if you’re good.

Great course, Expensive

Course was in great condition. They somehow took #18 back. (The geese and a guy with a shot gun owned it for a while.)

$107 for a county course is crazy.

Chef at Burger stand near driving range was awesome. Why not build a permanent stand and tables out there so we don't have to walk so far to go inside?

Very courteous staff!

In Great Shape

Course is in fantastic shape. The greens are rolling smooth and the fairways are perfect.

Really fun course layout and challenging. Awesome practice facilities (putting green, range with greens for targets, chipping area with bunkers).

The cart girls came around several times per nine holes.

Highly recommended and worth the price.
