The Pinecrest Golf Center, at 6600 Little River Turnpike on
the eastern edge of Annandale, has a newly renovated indoor training facility
known as the Valis Family Golf Learning Center. The center is named for Bailey’s
Crossroads residents Wayne and Angela Valis, who contributed $25,000 for a new
TrackMan4 Golf Simulator.
“The
Valis family has a strong connection to this course and a history of generosity
in terms of donations and volunteer service over many years,” says Roberta
Longworth, executive director of the Fairfax County Park Foundation.
“We are so pleased with this latest example of giving back to the community.”
