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.

Best public course in northern VA
Layout is fantastic. No two holes alike. Greens in great conditions. Only frustration was the back 9 was rather slow. Love Laurel Hills.
Thank you for the awesome rating! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another great experience, and thanks for choosing Laurel Hill Golf Club.

Not Worth It
For $108 on a Sunday afternoon, you would expect conditions this time of year to be pretty good. This area has had plenty of great weather for course conditions to excel. I play a lot of different courses in this county and its neighboring counties and most are in great shape, especially the Montgomery County public courses which have green fees almost half the price, but their conditions are twice as good.. The greens at Laurel Hill are mediocre, most of the bunkers were not raked that day and looked as if sand was just dumped in them in piles, basically unplayable. I wouldn't expect this at a muni for half the price, but for this place, conditions just stink. I've played here several times over the years and this is the absolute worst I've seen here. Not to mention the annoying "Player Assistance" ranger who drove by us and mentioned out of the side of his mouth, "Try and keep up with the group ahead" as if we were not already waiting on them just about every hole. Not enjoyable at all. I won't be back.

Public (but pricey) gem
The best use of a former prison ever! Fairfax county really did it right in putting in a top-flight public golf course. It is expensive, now over $100 on the weekends. It’s very popular and not easy to get a tee time.during the week or weekend.
Lengthy off the tee. Large greens so know your yardage. 14-17 are a tough finish. 18 is a good.
Staff is much friendly. Great chipping and driving range.
I do not encouraged us golf course for high handicappers or beginner golfers. Please go to one of the easy Fairfax county public golf courses. This course is designed for medium and low handicappers. You’ll just be frustrated

After the rain..
The course was soaked due to several days of steady rain.
Obviously, It was cart path only but but considering how much rain we got, the course was in very condition. The greens, as usual, was in very good (prob better than expected) .. the prime golfing season is here and looking forward to many rounds played there ..

Great Experience
My first time playing here and I really enjoyed the course. For being early April I was very happy to see that the fairways were green and overall the course was in great shape. It’s quite the challenge from the Blue tees or further back but definitely a lot of fun with good hole variety. I will certainly be coming back for another few rounds here this year.
