Looking for Recommendations on Virginia Country Clubs

Hey fellow golf lovers!
I’m on a mission to find the best country clubs in Virginia that are known for their excellent golf facilities. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting out, I believe that the right club can make a massive difference in your overall golfing experience.

What to Consider

Here are a few things I’m trying to figure out when comparing these clubs:

  • Course Quality: How’s the maintenance on the golf courses?
  • Membership Options: Are there flexible membership plans that cater to different needs?
  • Amenities: Do they offer extra facilities like pools, dining, or fitness areas?
  • Community: What’s the atmosphere like? Is it friendly and welcoming to new members?

Clubs Already on My Radar

So far, I’ve heard great things about a few clubs, but I’m eager to expand my list. Here are some that have come up in discussions:

  • The Country Club of Virginia: Renowned for its beautiful courses and great social events.
  • Hidden Valley Country Club: Noted for its friendly atmosphere and well-maintained greens.
  • Lakewood Country Club: Offers a fantastic experience, especially for families.

Your Input Matters!

If you’ve had experiences at any country clubs in Virginia, your insights would be super helpful!

  • Which clubs have you loved or would recommend?
  • Are there any hidden gems that don’t get much recognition but deserve a shout-out?
  • Any advice on what to look for when joining a country club?

I’ve been a member at Meadowlark Country Club for the last five years. They offer a great family membership that includes golf, tennis, and dining. The benefits are definitely worth the cost!

3

The family membership at Meadowlark runs around $6,000 annually, which includes all amenities. Quite a good deal if you use the facilities often!

That’s great to hear! I’ve heard their dining options are top-notch. What’s the cost for that membership?

5

I recently looked into Hermitage Country Club. They have an interesting social membership that allows you to use the pool and tennis courts without full golf privileges.

6

What’s the cost for that? I’ve been considering it myself.

7

It’s about $3,000 per year there. The amenities are nice, but I’ve heard the social scene can be cliquish.

Salon de Golf is another place worth mentioning! They have a golf-only membership that’s around $4,200. It allows unlimited golf access, but no dining privileges.

9

Sounds like a steal for golf lovers! But I enjoy a good meal post-golf, so that could be a dealbreaker for me. Anyone else feel the same?

10

I totally agree! It’s nice to relax after a round. Does anyone have thoughts on the memberships at the Country Club of Virginia?

11

Their full golf membership is around $10,000 annually. It’s steep, but they offer incredible dining, events, and top-notch golf facilities.

12

That sounds appealing! Are there any discounts for younger members or families?

13

They do have a junior membership program that’s about $5,000 for those under 40. Definitely worth looking into if you’re eligible!

14

I also wanted to mention that some clubs have initiation fees that can increase the upfront cost significantly. Always ask about those!

15

So important to factor that in! Does anyone have any funny experiences from their clubs that might sway my choice?

At my old club, a guy once wore shorts so short, they nearly caused a rebellion on the putting green! Just comes to show—it’s not all about the golf!

Haha, love that! I’ve seen my share of fashion faux pas as well. It’s all part of the experience, right? But really, great insights everyone!

I recently visited the Country Club of Virginia, and their facilities are top-notch! The swimming pool is pristine, and I loved the fitness center. It has everything you need to stay fit while enjoying your golfing experience.

That sounds amazing! How about their dining options? I’ve heard they have some great restaurants on-site.

I can second that! The dining at CCV is fantastic, especially the steakhouse. Also, their event spaces are well-maintained and perfect for hosting gatherings.
