Facility Details

Kinloch Golf Club offers members and guests a premier golf experience rooted in Southern hospitality. With world-class course conditions, attentive service, and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere, Kinloch is recognized as one of the most distinctive private clubs in the country.

Designed by Lester George and Vinny Giles, the 18-hole parkland course blends beautifully with the natural surroundings and is supported by a skilled, professional caddie staff. Members and guests also enjoy luxurious on-site cottage accommodations. Memberships are offered by invitation only.

Originally envisioned as a public course in 1999, the founders soon shifted to a private club model focused on excellence. As Vinny Giles expressed at the time, Kinloch would be “a first-class golf club with immaculate conditioning, a simple yet refined clubhouse, a close-knit membership, and service of the highest quality.

Since opening in 2001, Kinloch has earned widespread acclaim, including Golf Digest #1 Best New Private Course in America. The clubhouse, opened in 2002, reflects Tudor elegance and timeless design. As the National membership grew, the addition of three cottages beginning in 2005 provided members with premium overnight accommodations.

Today, Kinloch Golf Club stands among the finest private clubs in the region and beyond, committed to tradition, quality, and the enduring spirit of the game.

Nestled on 255 acres, Kinloch is dedicated to providing members and guests with a premier golf experience, world-class course conditions, and a staff committed to exemplary service. Our genuine and comfortable southern atmosphere is sure to inspire you. Located just outside Richmond, the Club is close to Charlottesville and only two hours from Washington, DC.
