Golf in Crozet

Crozet is an Albemarle County community in the Blue Ridge's eastern foothills west of Charlottesville, named for Claudius Crozet, the French engineer who surveyed the Blue Ridge Tunnel — one of America's early engineering achievements. The community has grown as Charlottesville's residential expansion has moved westward toward the mountains, and the surrounding Albemarle wine country — the Charlottesville AVA's vineyards and estate wineries — creates a sophisticated agricultural landscape. Old Trail Golf Club serves the growing Crozet community. Virginia's extraordinary range of landscapes — from Chesapeake Bay tidal wetlands to the Blue Ridge mountain summits — creates distinct regional characters for each community, and the local golf infrastructure reflects the specific natural and economic context of its location.
