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 that's feeling the heat

This is a great design and a ton of fun to play where all of the holes are immensely different and provide different challenges, which makes for an incredibly exciting round of golf.

Unfortunately, the course is losing some of its pristine shape so, for the average rate of over $100, you could probably find something else in better shape.

Would still recommend, but beware that it is starting to succumb to wear and tear.

Tough track

I know from working at a fine golf course that the essential ingredient is to have a large staff. Then you have the ability to keep the course in great shape. Laurel Hills is a great course suffering from low maintenance and probably understaffed. The design is brilliant and a bit too difficult for a high handicapper like me. But I enjoyed the challenge.

One of the top 3 courses in N. VA. It's understandable but they'll be doing lots of digging on all the holes over the next few months. The day I played, #10 was set up as a Par 3 (110 yd. to the flag).

great day at Laurel Hills!

course was in great condition, and great pace of play!
some of the traps needed to be raked / groomed; I know this only because I spent a fair amount of time playing out of the sand

enjoyable Father's day!
look forward to returning soon.

The course does not have a bathroom on the course. At least they should have a Porto John on No 3 and No 12.. This is really unacceptable.
