About
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.

Hole 16, Par 3, 185 yards Photo submitted by EthanZimman on 06/17/2013
1st round at Laurel Hill
I liked the layout, was quite challenging. The greens were in good shape but fairways & tess were inconsistent.
I’d play again on a weekday, I presume weekends would be really slow.
Flagship Fairfax course
It's been a hot hot summer in DC area..the course was almost over watered. Greens are slow, slow so they can save them from the brutal heat. Even late afternoon, the course was so spongy from watering in spots.
Greens are huge , rough is still lush but not as thick in spots due to the summer heat.
The fairways is spots are full of unfilled divots. Some greens I could have spent an hour cleaning ball marks. It's public golf but come on people.
It's a great course. LONG, long even from white tees. It's a tough walk. Big elevation changes and long walks between tee boxes.
Fairfax County puts money into this course/facility. Great driving and chipping area. Food is standard but fine. Staff has improved. They still have this weird relationship with members and tee time availability to the public...It's strange having a public course with members. Eisman teaching center has it's HQ here, there's indoor and outdoor lessons, club repair, etc available.
Thank you for your detailed review, bluemelonheads. We're thrilled you appreciate the course and facilities, and we'll pass your feedback on course conditions to our team. We look forward to welcoming you back to Laurel Hill Golf Club soon!
Poor conditions
Have played this course a lot over the years and this is by far the worst condition I’ve seen it in. Dead grass everywhere and super slow greens. Course is tired and not worth the price.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us, elinewman21. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Laurel Hill Golf Club, and we hope to see you again in the future.
Challenging
LH is a great course with very challenging features. The greens are normally excellent and fast, though a bit slower the day I played; maybe due to the warmer than usual weather of late. I would not recommend this course for beginner golfers, but great for all others.

Poor Greens
Greens were beat to crap. Divots were unattended to.

Great layout
The course has a great layout. The course conditions aren’t as they use to be but still good. Great practice area and good food.

Not worth the price
Played this course last year and it was in good condition. Now, the greens are in bad shape. There’s tons of ball marks that have been untouched, could never find a smooth line. This course is definitely not worth $110 right now

Laurel Hill Golf Club
Played on 8 Jul and the course was in great shape. The staff really kept watering the fairways and greens resulting in a perfect experience. Really manage tee times efficiently and professionally. Range balls included in Green Fees which helped a lot too. Great value for your money.
Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Laurel Hill Golf Club.
