Twin Lakes Golf Course, Fairfax County

Two courses at one stop!  Twin Lakes Golf Course offers two great options at one location.  Choose between The Lakes Course and The Oaks Course.  The Lakes is a bit more forgiving than The Oaks, however as stated in its name, it meanders around two lakes.  Although The Oaks course has a few shorter holes than The Lakes, it is more challenging with 56 bunkers and 7 water hazards to work around.  The Oaks has hosted 4 US Golf Association tournaments and shouldn't be taken lightly.  So, whether you are ready to challenge yourself, or simply enjoy a nice round of 18 as you meander around the two lakes, The Oaks and The Lakes courses should definitely be on your list of courses to try.  If you need to focus more on your swing, head over to their 36-station driving range.  Should you wish for further assistance, Twin Lakes Golf Course offers both private and group instruction to help improve your game.

    Bull Run Golf Club, Haymarket

    Although Saturday looks to be a soggy one.  It might just be the perfect day to take your mom out for an early Mother's Day celebration!  No waiting in a restaurant lobby for an hour to be seated, when you head-in the day before Mother's Day.  Then, treat her to a wonderful day on the course, and take advantage of Sundays sunshine.
    If you haven't hit the course at Bull Run Golf Club, you will be amazed by the expansive beauty of their 450+ acres, as today's typical courses tend to only be around 120-130 acres.  Ranging between par-3 and par-5, this course will capture your attention and before you pack your clubs back in your car, you'll be making your next tee time.
    While on the course, if you decide you'd like to call Haymarket home, feel free to let me know and I'd be happy to show you some possibilities!
    Feel free to check out their website for additional features and information.  http://www.bullruncc.com/index.html
