Golf in Bristol

Bristol is a Washington County Virginia city on the Tennessee border, sharing Main Street — State Street — with Bristol, Tennessee, creating one of America's most distinctive twin-city configurations where the state line runs down the center of a commercial street. The city's cultural significance as the Birthplace of Country Music — the 1927 Bristol Sessions recorded Jimmie Rodgers and the Carter Family and launched commercial country music — creates extraordinary heritage credentials. Two golf clubs, The Olde Farm and The Virginian, serve the Bristol professional community. Virginia's diverse geography and historical depth create communities with distinct identities, and the local golf course reflects both the landscape character and the economic culture of its specific corner of the Commonwealth.
