Golf in Ruther Glen

Ruther Glen is a Caroline County community in the Virginia Coastal Plain between Richmond and Fredericksburg, a rural agricultural community on the Mattaponi River watershed in the historic landscape of the Virginia Middle Peninsula. Mattaponi Springs Golf Club serves the Caroline County community, taking its name from the Mattaponi River that drains the surrounding landscape — a river with extraordinary indigenous significance as the homeland of the Mattaponi people whose reservation remains on the river. 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.
