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.

Laurel Hill

Very nice course but they seem to be cart path only all the time (rain, shine, drought, whatever)… still unsure why that is? It really slows things to a grind and many times you can’t see your ball location from the cart path so you need to always take 3 clubs… of course a miss hit and it’s back to the cart for another club, etc. bottom line, is it’s nice, but this takes the luster away.

Very tough track

I can see why this course is one the highest rated courses in the DMV area. It's a real pretty track but very challenging with lots of elevation changes. The rating from the whites was 142; pars were very hard to come across. The green fee includes free range balls. The practice mats were pretty hard and beat up. The practice putting green was nice. The course layout was outstanding. Many elevation changes. For a guy like me who's used to flat courses, this track proved to be very challenging. The greens rolled fast and true. Only negatives: 1) carts were outdated with no gps, 2) it was cart path only because they wanted to protect the grass even though it was already late in March and the weather was warm. I bet this course must look phenomenal late in the Spring and in the Summer.

Beautiful layout

Nice course and nice sums. It was such a perfect course, except for delayed pace of playing. Overall, I would still give 5 stars.

Twice as good as every other course the same price in NOVA

Fantastic challenging layout and one of the best quality courses in the entire DMV area. Greens were quicker than most courses around and roll true. Fairways and tee boxes were in great condition, better than some of the other courses would be at their best time of the year. Absolute must play!

Windy but playable

Was not the best day of golf to play, weather was playable cold but wind made it a bit colder, but as always the course being one of the nicest ones in Northern Virginia made it worthwhile. Staffs were great and accommodating.
