“Top Must Play Courses” —Golfstyles

Located mid-point between Richmond and Washington,
D.C. in Ruther Glen, Pendleton Golf Club, one of Virginia’s
most exciting new and picturesque golf courses, opened
to the public in September of 2006. Named after Virginia’s
first acting governor Edmund Pendleton, this course lives
up to its lofty namesake. Designed by Thomas Walker,
former lead designer at the Gary Player Design Company,
this spectacular layout combines creative mounding and
undulating greens to challenge players of all levels. With
five sets of tees in all, the course stretches to more than
7000 yards from the back tees, while ladies will find the
4500 yard length accommodating. Pendleton also features
one of the best practice facilities and driving ranges in the
mid-Atlantic. The grass tee alone at the range stretches
over more than an acre. Call 804-448-4727 or visit us on
