Considered the "Crown Jewel of Virginia golf," the legendary Gold course at Golden Horseshoe ranks #55 on GOLF Magazine's 2008 "Top 100 Courses You Can Play" based on excellence in design, conditioning and service. Created by Robert Trent Jones in 1963, the course boasts Jones' first island green on the par-three 16th. In fact, all four par threes are memorable in their own right and require a tee shot over water. Narrow rolling fairways lined by tall pines and ancient hardwoods lead to well-protected bent grass greens throughout. Rated 4.5 stars by Golf Digest, Golden Horseshoe's Gold will not disappoint!
Proper golf attire required.
