Belmont Golf Course

Every shot course vlog at Belmont Golf Course in Richmond, Virginia. Belmont was designed by Hall of Fame Golf Course Architect A.W. Tillinghast in 1917, originally opening as Hermitage Country Club. The only course in Virginia to have hosted a major championship,
Belmont is one of two - and the first - public Tillinghast courses to have hosted a major championship, joining Bethpage Black by hosting the 1949 PGA Championship. The course has been touched by the game's greats, with Donald Ross consulting on the property in 1921. In 1977, Henrico County purchased Belmont from Hermitage C.C., transforming the course into one of Richmond's only true public golf facilities. 43 years later, First Tee - Greater Richmond partnered with Love Golf Design to transform the historic 18-hole course into a modern golf facility. Within the footprint of the original 18-hole course, there is now a restoration of 12 of Tillinghast's original holes (holes 7-18 from the original routing), an 18-hole putting course, a 6-hole short course, practice range and wedge range, all retaining the vision brought to the property by Tillinghast.
