Laurel Hill Golf Club

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.

Course in bad shape
This was a nice course. Greens are in bad shape and even though they had clearly watered the course grass is dying in a number of places.
Great, tough layout.
Conditions are great and Greens are fine but unfortunately are not being treated well by golfers…encourage your playing partners to do their part and fix divots.

Thank you for highlighting the great conditions of our course and the quality of our greens. We appreciate your suggestion and will encourage golfers to take better care of the course. We hope to see you for another round soon! Thank you for choosing Laurel Hill Golf Club.
It was Fine
Paid $120 to play here. Free range balls before my tee time so that’s always a nice perk. Pro shop is nice with a lot of gear. The course is long so the driver gets a lot of action. Fairways were in good shape for as hot and dry as it’s been. Greens were in decent shape minus the hydraulic spill on one green, and then the patchwork on another green. The rough really grabs your club head so try to stay in the fairway. Bunkers were kept up well and there are a ton of them. The pace of play was brutal. It took 4.5 hours to play 18 while being 94° out. Overall I think $120 for this course was steep, but that’s what you get for this area of VA. I’d play it again but maybe on a hot deal, or when rates change (if they do).

Hello, Pete91. Thank you for visiting us at Laurel Hill Golf Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Green found wanting.
Course layout was definitely great as were the tee boxes and fairways. The green were not kept well and most people did not fix their ball marks, not clubs fault.

Thank you for your positive comments on our course layout, tee boxes, and fairways. We apologize for the condition of the greens and appreciate your understanding regarding the ball marks. Thank you for choosing Laurel Hill Golf Club, and we hope to see you for another round soon.
Great Course
Course was in great shape with the exception of a couple of greens that had some recent maintenance done. Will definitely be back!

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.
Lovely Twilight Round
A cool breeze on a quiet course. Well kept but not necessarily well played.

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.
Awesome layout
The course layout is the best in the area. Every hole is different. Large fairways but very challenging course. Fairways are in excellent condition. Greens roll well but are a bit slower than they have been in the past. Traps are average. Pace of play is best in the area averaging 4 hours for an 4some. Overall a very good course to play.

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.
Exceeded expectations
Played this course for the first time this week as it was a recommendation from a guy I played with earlier in the week. I would definitely play it again. Every hole was interesting with varying terrains. Greens were in very good shape considering almost every course in the area aerated in the last couple of weeks. Would definitely play it again.

Thank you for taking the time to review us, Rtfd515. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Laurel Hill Golf Club thanks you!
Best course in the area
Been coming for years, great course, best layout, challenging all holes. Long walk if cart part only applied, restaurant and bar are acceptable.
