Once Again - Laurel Hills

On our last adventure to the new Laurel Hills Fairfax County golf course, I complained about the over priced municipal golf course. Well my golf partner and 2 friends revisited the course last Saturday. Walt and I had a 9 hole rain-check from 3 weeks ago. I have to admit that the course is a bit better in the sun. Pro's and Hacker's called the site "one-of-a-kind" and "visually stunning." If by visually stunning they mean the shock of seeing guard towers and razor wire as you ride along the course - yeah. The problem is the price. It's just not worth $72. The fairways are poc marked with divits and the drainage leaves a lot to be desired. For $72 golfers should not have to look at mounds of fill dirt, porta johns and an unfinished clubhouse. A fairer price for these conditions is $50 at most. Even after all the construction mess is cleaned up, they'll need to streatch to make it a value for golfers.
