Description

The Cardinal Golf Club is now open to the public!

Easy access to the Fort Lee requires a REAL ID.

The Cardinal Golf Club is a 27-hole championship course located at Fort Lee, south of Richmond, Virginia. The original 18 holes (Red and White), were built in 1947 are a masterpiece of traditional layout. The third nine (Blue) opened in 2002 and was designed by Ault, Clark and Associates.

The course offers a nice variety of length and playability. The three nines are intended to challenge golfers of all skill levels. Course yardages measure 6,930 at the longest from the back tees (playing White to Blue) through 5,160 (playing White to Blue) from the most forward tees. This differs from the normal play of Red to White, White to Blue and Blue to Red.

The gentle rolling hills and mature, tree-lined fairways will provide a true champion’s challenge for golfers of all abilities plus, the flexibility to walk the course. Our professional staff makes very effort to accommodate our guest’s preferences.

The Cardinal Golf Club offers a great golfing experience for everyone.
