Golf in Suffolk

Suffolk is Virginia's largest city by geographic area, an independent city whose vast extent encompasses urban neighborhoods, suburban development, significant agricultural land, and the eastern edge of the Great Dismal Swamp. The city's peanut processing heritage — Suffolk was home to the Planters Peanut Company — and the extraordinary ecosystem of the Dismal Swamp create an unusual independent city character. Two golf facilities, Sleepy Hole and Suffolk Golf Course, serve the community's extensive recreational 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.
