Golf in Smithfield

Smithfield is the Isle of Wight County seat on the Pagan River, a community globally known for Smithfield Foods and the Smithfield ham that has been a Virginia culinary institution since the eighteenth century. The Virginia House of Burgesses passed legislation defining genuine Smithfield ham in 1926, creating one of America's earliest geographic food designations. Cypress Creek Golf Club serves the Smithfield community in the Tidewater Virginia landscape of the Isle of Wight County waterways. 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.
