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.

Plinko Board Golf… but give it a few weeks

The course was plugged and punched and played as such. Putts were unable to roll true and we got many unplanned bounces due to the dirt plus laying all over the place. Due to the course conditions that is why I said it was not worth the $90 price. See my google review for the pics.

With this said give this course about three weeks and it will be in amazing shape. I could tell this was a nice track and the course is more of a resort style course. The fairways are plenty wide and the greens were huge. The bunkers were well placed and in fantastic shape too.

We saw the beverage cart multiple times. The clubhouse was speedy for food pick up. It was nice to have the range balls included but I personally hate hitting off the mats. The practice area was extremely busy but I had not issues finding somewhere to warm up. However I did question the pin distances based on the warm up spaces.

Recommended improvement would be for the the starter to let you know the pin positions and ask if you have played the course before to provide a better welcoming experience. I would also recommend having a few more club cleaning water stations on the range and make sure the sand bottles on the cart are topped off or have stations around the course to pick up filled bottles. Ours were almost empty and were done after three uses.

Aerated greens and sand on the greens.

No mention of aeration when I booked the time. No break in the rate for the greens being aerated and the sand was thick sometimes on the green and other it wasn’t. Inconsistent greens. Bunkers not taken care of. Course tee to green is as easy as it gets since the mowed everything down to start the season. Will look elsewhere for my next round.

Loved this course!

Loved this course! Every hole was fun and provided something new - we loved the variety of styles for each hole. The only thing I would ask for is a good map of the course and/or a screen/gps to assist with the course. Although, each hole was labeled well so that was a huge plus. As a beginner this was a little over my level (2 holes were at my level and the rest way above) of play but my husband was really happy with it.

Awesome course and staff!

I booked this course when I found an open spot in the afternoon, as it’s usually very difficult bfind tee times to play. Later a friend joined and the staff at the pro shop accommodated us by moving us to the same tee times. The course is in great shape, and arguably the best course in Fairfax!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

Could be good, but hugely disappointing

The course was incredibly soggy, significantly harming the quality of play and consistency of fairways and greens. Some very muddy sections, too, and caked bunkers as well. But we haven't had any rain in over 2 weeks, so this was entirely self-inflicted through poor course management/greenskeeping and awful drainage infrastructure. Otherwise this could be a great place to play, but in this condition even on a beautiful day with no recent rain made this course incredibly overpriced.

Great course but

5.5 hour round..no Marshalls no help from staff

Why do we have membership for a municipal course???

Ridiculous you can’t get a time at a public funded course without going on golf
