Belmont Golf Club originally opened in 1916, making it one of Henrico County's oldest courses. The original design was updated in 1927 by Donald Ross and in 2020 by Love Golf Design. The course has a traditional layout. The length and design are indicative of the time when it was built, but it is just as challenging as any modern course. There are a few tough holes that will challenge even the best golfers. Mature trees line Belmont's fairways and there are strategically placed bunkers along the greens. Being one of the most affordable rounds in the area, Belmont Golf Club has become a favorite amongst locals over the years.

Variety of challenging holes. Great course even though it is 12 holes for the regular par course. Also has a par 3 6 hole course.

Refund Requested

I am requesting a refund for this round. We in VA had experienced server weather the night prior to playing this round. Unfortunately, Belmont GC did not allow our party to use the carts that were included in my reservation. It was not even cart path only. It was walking only.

Nice course with good practice range

My wife and I went to this course for the first time.
It has 12 holes plus 6 short holes.
The condition is super. We love the practice area that has drive range and short game practice, amazing chipping area.
The course suits different level players.

Great set up

First time out here and the course was in great shape. Love the 12 full holes and then the 6 par 3 course. Greens were in good shape definitely tricky to read and understand with out playing there before. Would definitely recommend this if you’re in the area!

Excellent condition but layout a bit confusing.

My first time playing Belmont since they completed the redesign a few years ago. Course is in great shape and the practice facility is second to none for a public course in Richmond. Since the redesign took it from 18 holes to 12, the layout is a bit confusing, especially for someone like me playing it for the time. The course is divided into 2-6-hole sides, so if you're playing 18, you need to go back and play one of the sides again (I got the impression they don't care which you choose). However, that causes the pace of play of your "3rd side" to slow considerably since you're now behind others who teed off later. Other than that small issue, it was a good experience overall and one I would recommend to others.

Great practice course!

The course was in great shape. It's a great walk. The only complaint: there was no opportunity to purchase drinks after starting (no bev cart and the turnhouse was closed). Also, there was no bottled water for purchase at the starter shed (technically that's 2 complaints).

Not your Old Belmont

DL III redesigned a Tillinghast and it’s just not the same. Removed the first 6 holes for a 6 hole Par 3 course, putting greens, and driving range. Bunkers placed in many landing areas. Pace is really slow. Since run by First Tee, many new golfers and walkers. For 12 holes on 2nd tee time took almost 3 hours. Pack a lunch if playing on the weekend!

Buyer beware!

I paid for 18 holes of golf with a cart. The course is actually only 12 holes because the last six holes are Par 3's. When I putted out on 12 and went looking for 13 tee box... that is when I found out that the last six holes were par threes and you MUST walk them... no carts allowed. And that is where my round ended. None of this is communicated when you book your round. It wasn't right and quite frankly it ticked me off.

Oh well....

The good:. Great to see a place for kids to play. Better than more apartments
The bad...water on course but no cups
Tee box so hard couldnt insert tee
Fairways worse condition ever. Little grass. Need vertical cutting and seed. Perhaps perennial rye
Greens hard as rock. Many greens starting to get same fungus that occured when full course. Same greens again
Sand pretty but needs deep raking. Wet and packed 1 inch below.
Par 3 course greens hard. Will not except wedge (who decided to place trap on first hole behind green 15 ft below green)
Like i stated earlier. Much better than some of henrico early options
But really not for seasoned golfers
