The Club at Viniterra in New Kent, Va. was established as a private club in 2009, but it was recently opened to the public and is fast developing a reputation as one of Virginia's best golf courses. At 7,725 yards, the Rees Jones design is the longest course in the state. But don't be intimidated, Kevin Dunleavy writes.

With a unique water conservation and irrigation scheme, Hunting Hawk Golf Club, located 20 miles northwest of downtown Richmond in Glen Allen, Virginia, represents the future of golf.
