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.

Always Fun and Challenging

The course is fun to play, but long and challenging. It doesn’t take away from the enjoyment of the course. Many of the fairways are open to drive and on the greens you can make putts. It’s just a scenic place to play.

Great everything

Had a great time. As a single, starter moved me up one tee time to make a foursome. Enjoyed their company. Also allowed me to get in all 18 before darkness descended. Course was in great shale. I love the layout. Laurel Hill is a BIG course. Lots of variation ( elevation, doglegs, bunkering etc.) to make each hole challenging and definitely not boring. I highly recommend this golf experience!

Good public/Muni in the DC Area.

Great value for the money. Challenging course but not overwhelming at the same time. Pace of play was good because its mid-January now. Course was not in bad shape given how cold/below freezing it's been here lately. Would recommend others to play.

Laurel Hill Saturday Round

Overall, course is very challenging layout especially form back tee boxes. Greens were very fast and challenging. My one compliant is the course needs to put some money into fixing up the condition of the tee boxes which were in rough shape. Check in staff by carts could be a bit more friendly and helpful as well to newcomers.

Lesss go!!

Starter need to inform all golfers about rules and policy on driving range, chipping green, and putting green when check in. Instead, keep coming up to me and said you can’t drive cart there, you can’t chip there, return your cart over there not here. No signs, nothing. No 13 was closed, I paid for 18 holes not 17, no one , no body informed us. Not appreciate for that. Golf course is fun, trouble off fairways, and behind the greens. Up hill, down hill, bunkers are all in play. Challenging!!

Great local course

First time here, but will play it again. Tee boxes are in good condition, fairways were perfect, greens were a bit fast, and the bunkers had decent sand. However, I played late afternoon, so to be expected. A lot of elevation changes but still fun.
