"Fairfax, Va. -- The Fairfax County Park Authority and George Mason University golf are proud to announce a new partnership naming the Park Authority's Laurel Hill Golf Club as the university golf team's home course. The collaboration aims to enhance the training and development opportunities for George Mason student-athletes and will also provide opportunities for expanded Park Authority summer camps utilizing the George Mason Field House.

'For many years Laurel Hill and George Mason Golf have had a partnership but both parties wanted to make this partnership official,' said George Mason Head Coach Greg Pieczynski. 'It makes sense on both sides. We are Virginia's largest university residing within Fairfax County. Laurel Hill Golf Club is Fairfax County's premier and flagship golf course. Our team has loved coming here to practice and play. Many of our team members from the area and state have competed at events at Laurel Hill over the years. We want to continue that relationship in the future.'

The partnership between George Mason and the Park Authority marks a significant step forward for both organizations, creating opportunities for growth and collaboration in our community. The Patriots men's golf team will have access to the golf course and its facilities for practices, training sessions, and team events. In return the team will host two junior golf clinics at a Park Authority golf course and the university will provide access to its Field House to support Park Authority summer camp programming. Access will vary from year to year and be based on the team's utilization of Laurel Hill Golf Club."
