We are living in extraordinary times witnessing something we never thought possible and something we hope will pass soon. The efforts of the general population to limit the spread of the virus have been exemplary and we can see the results of the measures being taken. Virginia Golf Club, like every other Golf Club, has had to close our doors temporarily but, rest assured, when the green light is lit the Golf Club will be in the best condition it ever has been in, thanks to the ongoing work of our Greenkeepers, Brian and Peter. The Capital Grants programme is proceeding with Virginia Golf Club being the grateful recipient of a 2020 grant, the monies being invested in new equipment for the upkeep of the Golf Course. Our remodeling of three tee-boxes is complete with them being ready for play very soon.

Rest assured, Virginia Golf Club, when reopened, will be, once again, the Club we all love and breath. We will have the Captains’ Drive-in, we will have the Club Classic and we will have our “Majors” in 2020. It may be difficult but, together, we will keep our Club going, onwards and upwards. A reminder that 2020 is the 75th anniversary of our founding and it’s a milestone that will, also, be commemorated.

Here are some photographs of the Golf Course, looking well in the April sunshine, together with some images of the new tee-boxes being readied for action.
