Lake Ridge also offers fishing and boating, hiking trails, picnic pavilions, playgrounds, wooded natural areas, a mini-golf course and ample opportunities for family fun.
Prince William Golf Course ranks among the area’s most historic and reasonably priced golf courses. Built in the 1960’s by a group of farmers who traded their tractors for golf carts, this course’s inauspicious beginnings set it apart from some of the more modern properties in Northern Virginia. As such, the course is wide-open by comparison to some of the tight courses found nearby. The result is a course that favors low scoring.
