Golf in Farmville

Farmville is a Prince Edward County community in Southside Virginia's Piedmont that serves as the home of Longwood University, a growing public liberal arts university, and as the commercial hub of south-central Virginia. The town's significant Civil War heritage — the last Confederate supply depot before Appomattox was at Farmville — and its important role in the Civil Rights era, when Prince Edward County closed its public schools for five years rather than desegregate, create a community of deep and complex historical significance. Three golf facilities serve the Farmville area. 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.
