Laurel Hill Course
Lorton, VA, USA




Laurel Hill, carved from a former landfill site in Lorton, Virginia, stands as a testament to transformative design, offering a surprisingly nuanced golfing experience within the bustling DC metropolitan area. While born of unconventional origins, the course has matured into a player-friendly test. Architect Bill Love sculpted this parkland-style course from what was once the Lorton Reformatory landfill. It has matured to be a straightforward, fair layout defined by gently rolling hills and strategically placed water hazards; the generous fairways favor a power game, yet the undulating greens require a delicate touch with the putter. What was once a treeless, open landscape, Laurel Hill is slowly but surely transforming into tree lined fairways. Laurel Hill is not known for hosting national tournaments, instead it stands for its community focus. Local golfers, many who grew up in the region, can afford an accessible and enjoyable round.

Fun layout, get able but easy to make mistakes. Good driving range and practice set up.
Super challenging from the tips. Beautiful Bermuda greens with some pace. Wish they kept all the brush.
