Considered the "Crown Jewel of Virginia golf," the legendary Gold course ranks #40 in Golf Magazine's 2002, "Top 100 You Can Play" based on excellence in design, conditioning and service. Created by Robert Trent Jones in 1963, it boasts two of the "Top 500 Holes in the World" including #16, Jones' first island green. Narrow rolling fairways lined by tall pines and ancient hardwoods lead to well protected bent grass greens. All four par threes require carries over water. Rated 4-1/2 stars by Golf Digest.
Proper golf attire required.
