The Best 4 Golf Courses in Virginia 2017

Kinloch Virginia Golf  is a private Golf Club based in Manakin-Sabot, VA, USA. Designed by Lester George, it opened in 2001.

"Kinloch is routed to take advantage of the most natural and dramatic features of the site.  The design characteristics give the course the look and feel rivaling the best courses in the world." Lester George, Golf Course Architect 

The championship course of 7,203 yards from 'the tips'.  From the moment you arrive at Kinloch you know that a unique experience awaits you, providing both a challenge like no other and exceptional scenic beauty.  The open corridors allow adequate tee shot areas, the rolling topography creates a variety of shots, discreet bunkering and use of the 70-acre lake provide a number of hazard features and the greens have character and demand a degree of accuracy and skill. The course is designed to encourage walking, with most distances from  green to tee being short. A quality caddie program is in place. There are no starting times.

A 19th hole is a special feature as players head toward the clubhouse as means of settling ties, hitting one more shot or trying to get even.

Robert Trent Jones Golf Club is a private golf club founded in 1991, located in Gainesville, Virginia, a suburb southwest of Washington D.C. The course architect and patriarch, Robert Trent Jones, Sr., set the bar high by creating his masterpiece from a special parcel on Lake Manassas that he considered to be the best golf course land he’d ever seen.

The vision for the Club was crafted by its founding Trustees who insisted that every detail of the facility and the service be first-class. They shared the vision with the founding Members and instilled it in the staff in an enduring way. Members and their guests enjoy the fruits of the founders’ vision, The RTJ Experience, every time they visit the Club and it never gets old. It feels just as good on the 100th visit as on the first.

The Olde Farm Golf Club is a private Golf Club based in Bristol, VA, USA. Designed by Bobby Weed, its rustic elegance and complete lack of distractions lend The Olde Farm its distinguished character and rural charm.

Perhaps Golf Digest’s Ron Whitten said it best after naming The Olde Farm Best New Private Course of 2000: “The Olde Farm, Weed’s first Best New winning design, is old school yet representative of the future of golf.”

The Highland Course At Primland Resort, Meadows of Dan, VA, USA was designed by Donald Steel. It was Ranked #2 on Golf Magazine’s list of Best Golf Courses You Can Play in Virginia, 2016-2017.

"This course design has been a highlight of my career since its location, while strikingly obvious in hindsight, did not jump out at me after the first of several site visits and tours of the 12,000 acre estate. But once I strode over the plateau, with views which reminded me of the highlands of Scotland, I knew this would test the mettle of golfers who want to play courses that would challenge the professionals.”
– Donald Steel

Highlights of the Blue Ridge Mountain golf course include:

• Closely cut areas around greens provide many short game options.
• Use of bent grass gives the golfer fast surfaces, and fescue grasses add challenge and a contrast of color.
• A 150 slope measurement attests to the course’s degree of difficulty, and the rating of 75.1 strokes confirms it.
• Bio-filters are strategically placed around the golf course to protect the natural trout streams and rivers that originate within and surround Primland.
• Wetlands around the course remain untouched and are treated as environmentally sensitive areas.
• Electric golf carts are included with your greens fees.
