Golf in Emory

Emory is a Washington County Virginia community home of Emory & Henry College, a Methodist liberal arts institution established in 1836 in the Holston River valley of far southwestern Virginia. The college's academic mission and the surrounding mountain landscape of Washington County create the context for two golf facilities — Lynch Link and Lynch Links — associated with the college community. The Holston Valley's agricultural character and the Blue Ridge's southwestern extension create the mountain setting for golf near the Tennessee border. 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.
