Northern Virginia - Golf Mecca

I was pleasantly surprised when I moved to Centreville to find a plethora of great golf courses within a 10 mile radius.  Check it out:

Westfields:  (http://www.westfieldsgolf.com/sites/courses/supersite.asp?id=988&page=56507)

For the elite golfer who is willing to pay for traps immacutely raked and greens as fast as a pool table.

Pleasant Valley:  (http://www.pleasantvalleygc.com/) Along with its twin club South Riding (http://www.southridinggc.com/) they strike a nice balance between high quality and affordability.  If you get their player's pass you can really get your money's worth especially if you play in the afternoon and get a twilight rate.  Wide open fairways are nice as well as some great elevated greens.

Twin Lakes (http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/golf/twinlakes/)  This is a great public course for us working stiffs who are used to putting our golf shoes on in the parking lot and dining on a hot dog as a fancy meal.  A lot of variation in the layouts but the Oaks Course is just as it sounds very wooded.  Bring plenty of extra balls if you play it :)

To top it all off you have the Virginia Golf Center and Academy (http://www.yelp.com/biz/virginia-golf-center-and-academy-clifton) which has a nice par 3 course to try and a great driving range.  They also have a lot of putting greens and a short game practice area.

With all of these resources you have no excuse not to practice your game!
