Golf in Newport News

Newport News is a Hampton Roads independent city whose Newport News Shipbuilding facility — now Huntington Ingalls Industries — has built America's aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines for over a century, making it the largest private employer in Virginia and one of the most consequential industrial facilities in the nation's defense infrastructure. The city's industrial heritage and its Peninsula position between colonial Williamsburg and the Hampton Roads harbor create a community of substantial economic weight. James River Country Club and The Pines serve the Newport News golf market. Golf has served this Virginia community as a gathering place for the professional, agricultural, and working families who sustain the Commonwealth's civic life across the economic cycles that have alternately challenged and strengthened every corner of the state.
