Golf in Charlottesville

Charlottesville is the independent city home of the University of Virginia, the institution Thomas Jefferson founded and designed, set in a Piedmont landscape that Jefferson celebrated as among the most beautiful in the world. The city's intellectual culture, the surrounding Albemarle County wine country — among Virginia's most celebrated — and the Blue Ridge's eastern silhouette create a community of unusual elegance and sophistication. Three golf facilities — Birdwood, Farmington Country Club, and Meadowcreek — serve the university and permanent residential community. The community's recreational golf culture connects residents to the natural landscape that defines Virginia's most compelling quality-of-life asset, the combination of accessible beauty and historical significance that distinguishes the Commonwealth from any other American state.
