Golf in Petersburg

Petersburg is an independent city on the Appomattox River immediately south of Richmond, the site of the Civil War's longest siege — nearly ten months of trench warfare that prefigured World War I and effectively ended the Confederacy. The city's extraordinary Civil War heritage and the surrounding battlefield park create a community of profound historical significance. Two golf facilities — the Country Club of Petersburg and Dogwood Trace — serve the Petersburg metropolitan area. 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.
