Twin Lakes Golf Course

Twin Lakes Golf Course – Lake Course (Clifton, VA) Played: Twilight tee time at 4:10 PM, walked solo round in under 3 hours 15 minutes. 1. Course Layout: ⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ (3.5/5) The layout is relatively standard, with no standout signature holes, but it's solid and enjoyable. Both the Lake and Oaks courses are designed for approachable, straightforward play. 2. Course Condition: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4/5) As a county-run public course, expectations are modest—but the condition has steadily improved over the years. Fairways and greens were in good shape, though green repairs (like divot marks) could use better player etiquette. 3. Value for Money: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5) Twilight rate was just around $59—unbeatable value for a full 18-hole round on a well-maintained course. One of the best deals in the area. 4. Clubhouse & Service: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4/5) The clubhouse has been recently renovated and looks great. Service is standard—not overly attentive, but not unfriendly either. Facilities, including the pro shop and snack bar, are solid for a county course. 5. Pace of Play: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4/5) While my twilight round was smooth and fast (under 3 hours 30 minutes), based on many past visits, pace can sometimes slow down during peak hours. A mostly consistent experience, but occasional delays. 6. Practice Facility: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4/5) Twin Lakes offers a great practice setup for a municipal course, including a well-maintained driving range, putting green, and chipping area. 7. Scenery & Atmosphere: ⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ (3.5/5) The surroundings aren’t particularly stunning, but the course is peaceful and well-integrated into the natural terrain. Quiet and relaxing, especially for an evening round. Overall Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4.3/5) Twin Lakes’ Lake Course continues to impress with solid maintenance, great twilight value, and dependable amenities. While it may not offer dramatic scenery or a standout layout, it remains one of the most reliable and budget-friendly public courses in the area.

I don't normally write course reviews and especially less than positive ones but I have to address the rough at both the Lakes and Oaks courses. For whom these courses are intended the rough is entirely too long to the point where anything not in the fairway becomes very difficult to find and sometimes results in a lost ball. Our group easily lost 4 balls in the rough over 18 holes and I know that you'll say: watch your shot, it probably went OB, don't hit it in the rough!, etc. NO, we looked exactly where it ended up and sometimes we found it, sometimes we didn't, once we stepped on it because it was buried in the rough just off the 5th green. In any event, every shot in the rough required a team search that slowed play. I'm sure we weren't alone in this regard. Saw plenty of evidence of fairways being mowed but not many mowing the rough. The rest of the course is very playable.

Great golf courses(2). Nice pro shop. Great driving range and putting warm up facilities. Played the lake course. Ton of fun shots. Fairways are very forgiving. We’ll designed and very pretty course.
