Lake Ridge at Lake Ridge Golf Course

Lake Ridge Golf Course sits in Woodbridge, Virginia, roughly thirty miles south of Washington, D.C., in the suburban communities of Prince William County. The course opened in the early 1990s as part of a residential development, serving both neighborhood residents and daily-fee players from the broader Northern Virginia region. The layout occupies rolling terrain typical of the Virginia Piedmont, with elevation changes and mature tree corridors defining many holes.

The routing moves through wooded and semi-open areas, with several holes playing along or across natural drainage corridors and small ponds. Fairways generally follow the land's contours, rewarding accurate tee shots that avoid the tree lines and position approaches favorably on sloped lies. Greens vary in size and contour, with some elevated targets and others set into natural bowls. The design emphasizes course management over length, asking players to navigate angles and avoid trouble rather than simply overpower holes.

Lake Ridge functions as an accessible public facility in a densely populated suburban corridor, drawing regular play from local residents, military personnel from nearby Quantico, and weekend golfers traveling from the Washington metro area. The course provides a straightforward test of golf within a wooded residential setting, typical of many daily-fee layouts developed in Northern Virginia during the region's growth period in the late twentieth century.
