Park Authority Golf Facilities Continue Streak of Nationwide Excellence

oakmont golfBurke Lake Golf Center and Oakmont Golf Center have been recognized as two of the top 50 public golf ranges in the country by Golf Range Magazine. This magazine is published by the Golf Range Association of America (GRAA) and the Professional Golf Association (PGA).

Oakmont Golf Center, with its 78 lighted stations including 30 covered and heated ones, has received this honor for the third year in a row. Burke Lake Golf Center has been recognized for the fifth consecutive year for its fully renovated facilities. Both golf centers are managed by the Fairfax County Park Authority.

The GRAA awards these recognitions annually to the best public, private, and stand-alone golf ranges, highlighting those that introduce golf to new players and keep current players engaged through various programs and community activities.

"Golf Fairfax is firmly committed to continuous improvement at our ranges and courses. This year, we’ve focused on enhancing the player experience with new technology and innovative programs to make golf more accessible and enjoyable for everyone," said Ryan Carmen, director of Golf Fairfax for the Park Authority.

The Burke Lake and Oakmont ranges were praised for their:

  • Modern facilities that allow for year-round play.
  • Dispensing over 8-10 million range balls annually.
  • Installation of SelectPi technology to improve customer experience and enhance range operations.
  • Custom club fitting services, supported by PGA and LPGA professionals.
  • Advertising campaigns for promotions, like Family Golf Month and the Orange Tee Club.
  • Programs to welcome new, casual and experienced golfers.
  • Comprehensive golf academies for all skill levels, families, women and juniors.

Burke Lake Golf Center is located at 6915 Ox Road, Fairfax Station. Oakmont Golf Center is at 3136 Jermantown Road, Oakton. For more details, visit the Fairfax County Park Authority's Golf website. All driving ranges include putting and chipping greens and are open year-round.
