Richmond Golf Courses

As the capitol of Virginia, Richmond is a city that is not only alive with hectic businesses and a compelling arts and entertainment scene, it also boasts a tremendously rich history. But despite all the business commitments, entertainment choices and historic attractions, it's great to know that the city is also home to some of the most inviting golf courses in the region. Whether you are out for the day with a group of fellow golfers or need a break from the office and want to play a quick nine holes, you're sure to find the perfect course that will test your skills and provide a nice getaway from your busy schedule.

Stonehenge Golf and Country Club
The Stonehenge Golf and Country Club is an 18-hole, regulation length golf course that features a medium length layout and three sets of teeboxes for a fun, challenging game. The tree-lined fairways are scenic but the small greens can prove to be a challenge. Water hazards come into play on seven holes that are sure to test the skills of even the most seasoned golfers. It is recommended that you reserve your tee time on the weekends.

The pro shop staff is as experienced as they are friendly, and Glenwood offers a great golf experience for the money.
