Golf in Midlothian

Midlothian is a Chesterfield County community in Richmond's most affluent southern suburb, historically significant as the site of America's first commercial coal mine — the Midlothian coal seams were mined from the colonial period — and now transformed into an upscale residential and commercial community. Three golf facilities — Independence Golf Club, Salisbury Country Club, and Windy Hill Sports Complex — serve the Midlothian area's extensive recreational golf market in one of Richmond's most prosperous suburban communities. The broader Virginia community's investment in recreational infrastructure — golf courses, parks, and outdoor amenities — reflects the quality-of-life standards that have made the state consistently one of America's most desirable places to live and work.
